Prize Pool

Group Stage Matches are worth $50 per BO3 win, totally $2,800 of the prize money. With the way the players are seeded by group standings, this is essentially a scaling prize pool bump to each playoff position, but allows for us to have every round robin match be meaningful even if certain players become eliminated.

Groups - $2,800
Playoffs - $7,200

1st - $2,500
2nd - $1,250
3rd/4th - $600
