All matches up to the Grand Finals will be best-of-5, while the Grand Finals will feature a best-of-7 format, giving the Upper Bracket champion a 1-0 series advantage.
Prize distribution
The prize pool comprises 5,000 bAXS, distributed as follows: 2,100 bAXS for first place, 1,200 for second, 700 for third, and additional rewards for lower placements, ensuring every competitor leaves with a share.
Competitors have earned their spots through both Arena play and Season Championships. The stakes are high as skill and strategy take center stage during this event, promising an electrifying tournament for both players and spectators alike.
