Games in groups are played in a circular system - each plays 2 games with each one (the possible outcome is 2: 0, 1: 1, 0: 2). Players who took 1st and 2nd places in each group go to the upper bracket of the final stage, and 3rd and 4th places - to the lower one.

The winner of each game (in case of a draw - the player with the highest rating) posts a screenshot with post-match statistics on the #results-games channel, indicating in text the six characters blocked in the match. If desired, players can open the broadcast of their games. Game discussions on the #discussion channel. The winner of the series (in case of a draw - the player with the highest rating) independently indicates the score of the meeting in the tournament grid.
