As there are only four spots open for the last stage, the two men that will be able obtain the first rank in their Group will be able to go to the Stage two of the double elimination while the one that ranks second will have to fight the third in a relegation match. These two winners, will obtain their place in stage two.
The matches for the group stage are scheduled to be played March 6th at 12:00 and 14:00 CET and 3 playdays will be played from this day. The next days will see 2 more playdays. In case a player from the Finals would not be able to attend the event, a player will be chosen by elimination to be that substitute.
Three matches are supposed to be played in order to determine the substitute; Ciara against NightWOlf, Ciara against Protois ( which Ciara won 2:0 on Turtle Rock and Echo Isles ) and finally Protois versus NightWOlf. The eleventh player will then be known after these matches that should all been played after February 21st.
