Groups
The eight teams are divided into two groups, wherein there will be a best-of-one round robin. The top two teams per group will advance to the playoffs. The group stage will be finished within the first day.
The second day will be consumed by the double-elimination playoffs. It will start with a best-of-three crossover series. All games on the upper-bracket will be best-of-three, while all the games on the lower-bracket will be one-game matches.
Venue and Tickets
The GMPGL Finals will be held in the Philippines, as the tournament concept originated from the Gigabyte-supported league of Mineski. The venue will be in SM North Edsa, the third largest shopping mall in the whole world.
The games will be played on two different venues within the mall. The general playing area will be on the Cyberzone, while the stage matches will be played in the Skydome. While the games on Cyberzone will be shown over a big screen for free, the stage matches will be having paid tickets due to its very limited sitting capacity.
1,000 non-VIP tickets will be sold per game for the stage matches for PHP 20 (.47~ USD), which means fans can choose which match they are interested in seeing. There will also be 60 VIP tickets to be sold per day, which cost PHP 1,000 (23.25~ USD). The VIP tickets allow a more unique and pleasurable viewing experience; front-row seats, free Starbucks drinks and a GMPGL Finals shirt and a 'personal butler'. What exactly the butler will be able to provide is still unknown.
