In the Finals, there is no match limit. Whoever wins a match after getting “Match Point Eligible” wins the contest. To be “Match Point Eligible,” you have to reach 50 total points.
Teams have a lot to prove in this competition, starting with Reignite. Their performance will be for the entire APAC South region, as many believe the zone to be feeble. They will have to dominate and show why they are the champions of the area.
NA will be looking to show their strength in the competition, with teams like NRG and OpTic Gaming getting the opportunity to establish themselves in the international LAN layout. For TSM, it will be an attempt to return to former glory.
