The final follows a similar layout, with players be awarded points over a series of 6 games. Points will be awarded for placements and eliminations in the games, with high placements and more kills earning more points, as seen below.
VICTORY ROYALE: +3 POINTS
2ND-3RD PLACE: +2 POINTS
4TH-10TH PLACE: +1 POINT
3-4 ELIMINATIONS: +1 POINT*
5-6 ELIMINATIONS: +2 POINTS*
7+ ELIMINATIONS: +3 POINTS*
*These points can only be earned once per match. For example, 10 eliminations would only earn you +3 points and any additional eliminations will not add points to your score.

The scoring system above will be used to determine the placements, and players will be awarded a share of the $1.5M prize pool based on where they place after the six matches.
Here is the breakdown of the prize pool, with an additional $25,000 bonus going to the players who achieve Victory Royale in any of the six matches.
There are plenty of recognizable names in the grand final, ranging from pro players like FaZe Tfue and Liquid 72HRs, to relative unknowns like Tylarzz, who shocked the world by winning the third day of qualifying.
With 99 entrants, it’s difficult to pick a favourite, but it’s guaranteed to be an exciting watch when the final takes place on September 3.
