During the group stage, the maps played in each rounds are fixed. Once the groups are created, this is the place where you will find out which maps will have to be played in each round of the group stage. The reason why the maps are given is that the players should get to know the whole Nexuiz map pool of the tournament, which also makes them practice "uncommon" (forgotten) maps.

Round 1:
Map 1: Aggressor
Map 2: Final Rage
Deciding map: Stormkeep

Round 2:
Map 1: Aneurysm
Map 2: Toxic
Deciding map: Warfare

Round 3:
Map 1: Bloodprison
Map 2: Reslimed
Deciding map: Darkzone

During the bracket stage the players are allowed to choose their favorite map again.
