How many points do I need to qualify for the Finals Cup?
+ Show Spoiler +
The points needed to qualify for the finals will largely depend on the number of different winners (top 4 finishers) and the number of events you or your team compete in. It is possible to compete in only 1 Points Cup, win the cup, earn 35+ points and have enough to qualify for the Finals Cup. This is not guaranteed though. The final points breakdown will determine the Finals Cup Seeding, so it will be important to gain as many points as possible.
Really great to be working with CSN again and you can be sure it'll be a great event <3
