The second international LAN event of the Game Changers circuit is creeping closer by the day. Riot have revealed the bracket for the upcoming Game Changers Championship: São Paulo event nearly a week prior to its commencement.

The event will run from Nov. 28 to Dec. 3 and will see eight of the world's finest Game Changers rosters battle it out for the honor of hoisting the second international trophy the circuit has ever offered. Teams from each region have all earned their place under the golden lights by either accumulating enough circuit points or winning their regions' respective qualifiers.

Format

Mirroring the same format used in last year's championship, Riot have retained the use of a double-elimination bracket utilizing Bo3 matches all the way up to the grand final, which will feature a Bo5 between the two remaining teams. Teams from the same region will be seeded on opposite sides of the bracket to ensure diverse matchups.

The eight teams from around the world being seeded into the bracket are:
