Tiebreakers
If a three-way tie occurs between the teams in fourth to sixth place, the total prize money for these slots will be split among them.
If a three-way-tie occurs for any other three places, it will be decided in the following way:
•The three teams decide their ranking order by playing three overtimes against each other
•Overtime will be played for the tiebreakers, with a single map selected via veto with all teams participating in the vote
•Each team will start on the T and CT side once
•The tiebreaker is over when one team wins two matches during the first three matches – if each team wins a single match, the process is repeated
