Question

For starters I am by no means an expert in VBA. Just know enough to be dangerous 8).

I started out by doing a search on how to extract a table from a web page and sa

So if written a small Sub which i think should solve your Problem if i understood you correctly. Of course you will invest some work, since it only reads one stage right now. But it reads the data from every Group:

Option Explicit

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

'make sure you add references to Microsoft Internet Controls (shdocvw.dll) and
 'Microsoft HTML object Library.
 'Code will NOT run otherwise.

Dim objIE As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer 'microsoft internet controls (shdocvw.dll)
Dim htmlDoc As MSHTML.HTMLDocument 'Microsoft HTML Object Library
Dim htmlInput As MSHTML.HTMLInputElement
Dim htmlColl As MSHTML.IHTMLElementCollection

Set objIE = New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer

Dim htmlCurrentDoc As MSHTML.HTMLDocument 'Microsoft HTML Object Library

Dim RowNumber As Integer
            RowNumber = 1

With objIE
    .Navigate "http://worldoftanks.com/en/tournaments/1000000017/" ' Main page
    .Visible = 0
    Do While .READYSTATE <> 4: DoEvents: Loop
        Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:01"))


        Set htmlDoc = .document

        Dim ButtonRoundData As Variant
        Set ButtonRoundData = htmlDoc.getElementsByClassName("group-stage_link")

        Dim ButtonData As Variant
        Set ButtonData = htmlDoc.getElementsByClassName("groups_link")



        Dim button As HTMLLinkElement
        For Each button In ButtonData

           Debug.Print button.nodeName

            button.Click

               Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:02")) ' This is to prevent double entryies but it is not clean. you should definitly check if the table is still the same and wait then

            Set htmlCurrentDoc = .document
            Dim RawData As HTMLTable
            Set RawData = htmlCurrentDoc.getElementsByClassName("tournament-table tournament-table__indent")(0)



            Dim ColumnNumber As Integer
            ColumnNumber = 1

            Dim hRow As HTMLTableRow
            Dim hCell As HTMLTableCell
            For Each hRow In RawData.Rows

                For Each hCell In hRow.Cells
                    Cells(RowNumber, ColumnNumber).Value = hCell.innerText
                    ColumnNumber = ColumnNumber + 1
                Next hCell
                ColumnNumber = 1
                RowNumber = RowNumber + 1
            Next hRow

            RowNumber = RowNumber + 3
        Next button
    End With

End Sub

What it does is starting an invisible IE, reads the data, clicks the button, reads the next and so on ...

for Debugging i suggest to set .Visible to 1, so you will se what happens.

EDIT 1: if you get a debbuging error, try to Abort and run it again, it definitly Needs some error handling, if the Website isn't loaded right.

EDIT 2: Made it a bit stabler, you should really pay Attention, since the Webpage takes some time to load, you MUST check if the data has changed before writting it. if it hasn't changed wait a second or so and then try again.

Here some sample data i got in Excel:
