## Overview

Hoplite Champions returns on <u>Sunday, July 6th at 3:00pm EST</u>!

Eight teams of five creators will compete for a place in the finals, battling their way through the Group Stage and the Knockout Stage.

## Group Stage

In the group stage, all teams are split into two groups of four.

Each team will face the other teams in their group once, competing in a 5v5 round-robin format in a modified, fast-paced version of Civilization Royale.

At the end of this stage, the top two teams from each group will advance to the Knockout Stage.

Any ties will be decided first by kill differential, followed by head-to-head results.

## Knockout Stage

During the Knockout Stage, the top four teams compete in an elimination bracket.

The top team from each group will play against the runner-up from the opposite group.

Winners of the semi finals will move on to the finals, where one team will be crowned Hoplite Champions.
