Grand Prix 2026: lower bracket - three elimination matches on October 24, broadcast schedule
Saturday, October 24 will be one of the busiest days of the 2026 Rise of Kingdoms Grand Prix: three matches of the second round of the lower bracket will be held at the Ark of Osiris Arena. Six teams will meet in pairs for elimination - defeat in this stage means the end of their participation in the tournament.
Lower Bracket Second Round Schedule
- 13:05 UTC - 69DS vs 08W1;
- 14:10 UTC - JST vs ONES;
- 14:10 UTC - AQUA vs MING.
The organizers published the broadcast schedule on the official game channel. The time when teams enter the battlefield should be clarified in the game announcement: in the bracket, two fights are announced for one slot, which usually means parallel streams or a slight adjustment on the day of the match.
What is known about the grid
Grand Prix 2026 brings together 16 teams of Chinese and international servers who fight in the arena of the Ark of Osiris for the title of the strongest. The tournament started in early October: first there were the opening playoff matches and the first round of the main draw, then the upper draw matches. Now it’s the bottom’s turn: the teams that were defeated in the early stages are here, and every next match decides everything for them.
The tournament final is scheduled for mid-November, so the intrigue of the season is still ahead. For fans, the lower bracket is the most dramatic format: the losers have no second chance, and every mistake in the formation or timing on the map becomes the last.

The matches will be shown on the official Rise of Kingdoms YouTube channel. The project's full-time caster team is responsible for comments - among them Chisgule, BrianKuhTV, PlotoGaming, Tkc29, CortexRoK and ApocalypceGaming.
