Grand Finals Format
The Grand Finals will follow a Champion Rush format, where teams compete across up to 10 intense matches. The objective is to hit a benchmark of 80 points — once a team reaches this threshold and secures a Booyah (a match win), they automatically clinch the title. If no team reaches that target by the end of all scheduled matches, then the squad with the highest total points will be crowned champion.
This dynamic format keeps every match exciting and ensures that consistent performance is rewarded. With teams from nations like India, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Nepal, the competition promises cross-regional battles full of tactical clashes and thrilling comebacks.
