How does the CEGC 2026 format work?
Group Stage 1 put the 32 teams in two groups of 16. Each group kept its own table for the first four days. After Day 4, the bottom eight teams of each group swapped groups. From Day 5, all 32 teams share one table, and the points from the first four days carry forward.
Group Stage 2 has the 24 teams that miss the top eight. They play in three groups of eight, and each team plays 12 matches. The top eight join the Upper Bracket. The other 16 go to the Lower Bracket.
The Upper Bracket has 16 teams and 24 matches. Its top eight go straight to the Grand Finals. Its bottom eight get a second chance in the Last Chance Qualifiers, where they meet the top eight of the Lower Bracket. Sources differ on whether seven or eight teams advance from the Last Chance Qualifiers, so we list that number as unconfirmed.
The Grand Finals use the Smash Rule on Day 3. After Match 12, the leader's score plus 10 becomes the target score. From Match 13, a team that has reached the target wins the title as soon as it takes a Chicken Dinner. If no team does that, the team with the most points after Match 18 is the champion.

What is the CEGC 2026 prize pool?
The sources do not agree. Tournament tracker pages, including esportstats and esportsamaze, list Rs 75,00,000. One published split gives Rs 40 lakh to the winner, Rs 20 lakh to second place, Rs 12 lakh to third place and Rs 3 lakh to the MVP. Some launch reports gave a headline figure of Rs 1.25 crore. We could not find a public post from Skyesports or SDAT that explains the difference, so treat Rs 75 lakh as the listed figure and Rs 1.25 crore as unconfirmed.
For reference, the 2025 edition had a Rs 50 lakh pool and Team SouL won the BGMI title. The details are in our CEGC 2025 recap.
