Tournament Format as of Now
- Survival Stage (July 29–30)
The pressure is ramping up as the bottom 16 teams from the Group Stage get one final chance to redeem themselves over the course of two days to determine which of them will be able to advance to the Finals. All 16 teams are aware that one game could mean the end of their chance for potential glory.
- Grand Finals (August 1 to August 3)
The Grand Finals will take place with the top 8 teams from the Group Stage and the top 8 teams from the Survival Stage for a total of 16 teams. They will play a total of 18 games to determine for themselves who can claim the title and glory of their hard work and training. With the final day arriving, there may be a little more pressure to perform as one team is finally crowned that will fulfill the “Smash Rule” where they must earn a Chicken Dinner and the points that they need to claim victory.
The stakes are higher than ever as the 16 remaining teams, who didn’t secure a direct top 8 finish in the Group Stage, now battle it out for their last chance at making the PMWC 2025 Grand Finals.
