3.5 Draw Rule
In the event of a draw in points at the end of each Qualifying Group Stages, the winner will be decided by the following rules:
- Should there be teams who earn a similar amount of points at the end of the group stage, the team who will advance to the next round will be based on the higher combined total damage dealt for the whole team (for the matches they have lost/drew) within the group stage.
- Teams are required to provide both the replay and screenshot for the matches that they have lost/drew within the group stage. Teams who fail to do so for all the matches will have their combined total damage dealt tabulated accordingly (i.e. 2 draws but only provide one replay and screenshot and not the other).
- Under a circumstance where both teams have the same points and same combined total damage dealt, the team who will advance to the next round will be determined only by the total damage dealt during the head-to-head battle between both teams (i.e. total damage dealt for Team A vs Team B during the group stage).
- All replays and screenshots must be submitted to esport-sea@wargaming.net immediately upon knowing that your team’s total points is tied to another at the end of the group stage. Failure to do so will put your team at risk for advancement.
