1win Essence III begins main stage with twelve teams competing for $200,000

The main stage of 1win Essence III brings together twelve teams for a $200,000 online tournament running from November 12–18.

The completed play-in has finalized four groups, each containing three teams.

Confirmed groups

• Group A: PARIVISION , DO KONCA , Yellow Submarine .

• Group B: Aurora Gaming, GamerLegion , CyberHero .

• Group C: TeamToWin Liquid, LGD Gaming , Legion .

• Group D: Team Spirit , 1w Team , Froglings .

CyberHero , Legion , Froglings and Yellow Submarine advanced through the play-in to join the invited teams.

Two teams advance from each group

The group stage uses a round-robin format with best-of-three series. The top two teams in each group advance, while the third-placed teams are eliminated.

The eight remaining teams then enter a double-elimination playoff bracket.

Playoff series are best-of-three, with the championship decided by a best-of-five grand final.

The three- TeamToWin groups leave little room for recovery: every participant plays only two group-stage series before advancement and elimination are decided.
