The top four teams will be competing against each other in one final double-elimination tournament to determine the champion. All games in the final elimination stage are best-of-three, except for the finals which is best-of-five.

All the teams who make it to the semifinals will get a cash prize. The biggest share is for the champion who will receive 10,000 RM ($3,100~). The second, third and fourth placer will get 5,000 RM ($1,550~), 3,000 RM ($930~) and 2,000 RM ($620~) respectively. The 20,000 RM prize pool ($6,200) for a single tournament is the biggest so far this year. For comparison, ACG Invitational and The Inaugural $3,500 and $3,000 respectively as their cash prize.
