The ROG Invitational III grand finals will take place this weekend. To be specific, you can mark your calendars for 26 and 27 June 2021. There are only four teams left standing. These teams will compete in the semifinals, with the winners going on to the grand finals.

Semifinals matchups are:
  • Bravado Gaming vs VYBN eSports

  • 1st place – R50,000
  • 2nd place – R25,000
  • 3rd place – R15,000
  • 4th place – R10,000

With a first-place prize of R50,000 on the line, the final three matches are sure to be extremely exciting and intense to watch. The semifinals will be played on 26 June, while the grand finals will take place on 27 June, where a champion will be crowned.
