The Teams in the Final
Who is competing? A total of four of the GSA League teams have qualified for the final matches of the GSA League.
Team Secret
33 points (11 wins, 3 losses) – A pro league team that is considered the best German team and has played on big stages. For the GSA League, Team Secret bought the team OrgLess, which now plays for them.
G2 Esports

20 points (6 wins, 6 losses, 2 draws) – Rogue is an American organization with a European branch, where some of the best German Rainbow players are playing.
Format and Rules of the Playoffs
How is it played? Unlike the match days before, a “best-of-3” will be played in the final. Each match consists of three games with seven wins each. There is also a double elimination system. The first loss does not mean elimination, but rather a drop to the “Lower Bracket”.
On the first match day, the first two matches will take place as well as the game of the two winners from each game in the Upper Bracket Final. This results in the first finalist team.
On the second day, Sunday, the two losers of the first matches will face each other. Then the winner of the Lower Bracket and the loser of the Upper Bracket Final will meet. The winner will be the second finalist.
How high is the prize money? A total of €40,000 will be distributed for the entire league and all 8 teams. The finalists will receive €28,400, distributed as follows:
- €10,000 for 1st place
- €8,000 for 2nd place
- €5,200 each for 3rd and 4th place
