The top eight from Group B moved up to Group A, and the top eight from Group C moved up to Group B. The bottom eight in Group B fell to Group C.
No team was knocked out after Week 1. Eliminations only happen after Week 3, when the bottom eight teams in Group C leave the tournament. Our explainer on the BMSD 2026 Qualifiers format and promotion and relegation rules covers every qualification path in detail.

What happens after Week 2
The same promotion and relegation rules apply once Week 2 ends. The top eight in Group B move up to Group A, and the bottom eight in Group A drop to Group B. The same swap happens between Groups B and C.
Week 3 is the last week of the Qualifiers, which end on September 30. Seeding after Week 3 works like this:
| Final Qualifiers position | Next stage |
|---|---|
| Group A, top 4 | Grand Finals (direct) |
| Group A, 5th to 12th | Semi Finals |
| Group B, top 4 | Semi Finals |
| Remaining teams in Groups A, B and top half of C | Upper or Lower Bracket Survival stages |
| Group C, bottom 8 | Eliminated |
This means a team in Group C this week can still reach Group A for Week 3 if it finishes in the top eight twice.
