The top 4 players from both groups will proceed to the elimination stage.

Double Elimination Stage

The first from each group will be facing the 4th placed from another group, while the 2nd will face the 3rd from the oppsing group.

In the Grand Final the player coming from the Winner Bracket will start with a 1-0 win. The match will be played in a BO5, MR3 format.

Cheating
Breaking any rule and any form of cheating, glitching, abusing in-game mechanics, or unsportsmanlike behavior may result in a forfeit of a game, match, or ban from Gamers.com.mt's tournaments. Cheating, glitching, and abusing in-game mechanics accusations must be verified by a tournament official. Punishable unsportsmanlike behavior includes, but is not limited to, excessive use of foul or degrading language. For all cheating claims, the burden of proof is on the accuser.

Proof
We highly recommend that proof is taken with the console's built in recording system to gather proof. We suggest that you take a video or screenshot(s) of each game’s results in case proof is needed for a dispute. All proof should be clearly visible and contain the players names', if they are dead, and their number of kills.
