Format Explained

The tournament will consist of two phases: a group stage and a double elimination bracket structure to decide the winner. In the group stage, the 40 teams will be split up into 4 groups, each with 10 teams. In a six-match series, each group will compete against the other three groups to advance into the bracket stage.

After the group stage finishes, the top 20 teams with the most points will advance to the winners bracket, and the bottom 20 teams will duke it out against each other in the losers bracket round 1.

After that, the top 10 teams from the winners bracket will directly go to the grand finals, and the bottom 10 from the winners bracket will go to the losers bracket round 2, where they’ll face off against the top 10 teams of the losers bracket round 1.

The top 10 teams from the losers bracket round 2 also reach the grand finals. The bottom 10+10 teams from losers bracket round 1 and 2 will be eliminated from the Playoffs.

Now, what happens in the grand finals? The grand finals will be played out in a match point format. A team becomes match point eligible when it reaches 50 points. If the match point eligible team wins the next match, they’ll be crowned as the winner. Every other position apart from the winner will be determined by total points (highest to lowest.)
