Event Format
While the Grand Finals will now be online, the exciting new format for the championship remains:
- Day 1 (May 15) – Sky Surge: Sixteen qualified teams will battle across six maps, aiming to accumulate points and reach the “Sky Champ” point goal of 66.
- Day 2-5 (May 16-18)- Sky Champ Rule: Once a team reaches 66 points, they must secure a Chicken Dinner to claim the championship title. If no team achieves this within eight maps, the team with the highest points will be declared the winner.
This innovative format ensures high stakes in every match, pushing teams to not only aggressively pursue points but also strategically target opponents nearing or surpassing the winning threshold.
