A day-by-day October schedule
The organiser assigned Group A to October 12, Group B to October 13, Group C to October 14 and Group D to October 15. Playoffs were scheduled for October 16–17. All main-event matches were listed as LAN matches.
This schedule separates a group appearance from a playoff appearance and helps locate the relevant day in an archive. A recorded match should still carry its stage and opponent: the day alone does not identify a team or establish the result.
What changed in team selection
For the 14 registration places, selection used the Valve Regional Standings update dated September 7. The organiser stated that the highest-ranked registered teams received priority, with registration time breaking an equal-ranking tie. This differed from the registration approach used for Beats I and II.
The two online-qualifier places formed a separate route. Keep qualification, selection and seeding distinct when interpreting the field. Ranking priority does not itself prove that a team completed entry or reached a particular stage of the main event.
Prize pool and archive status
The organiser confirmed a guaranteed $80,000 pool. Its published distribution assigns $30,000 to first place and $12,000 to second. Those are allocations in the event rules; identifying the recipients requires the corresponding final results.
The October 12–17 window precedes this October 23 update. Read the page as an event archive, using the detailed organiser schedule rather than an earlier series announcement that still listed the pool as to be announced. The event-specific update supplies the more precise figure for Beat III.
