Format

The first phase of the tournament will be played out in an eight-team Swiss Stage format. In this stage, teams with the same win/loss record will be matched up against each other. Teams will be eliminated once they have suffered two losses, and secure qualification after two wins. The stage will conclude after four rounds, with a pair of 2-0 and 2-1 teams seeded into the playoffs.

The initial Swiss Stage matchups were determined via draw, with no matchups of teams from the same region. Matchups past the first round will be fully random, with same-region matchups allowed. First round matchups and the following schedule are below:

The four-team playoffs will be a standard double-elimination bracket. The two teams that finished the Swiss Stage with a 2-0 record will be drawn against teams that had a 2-1 record. Only the lower and grand finals will be best-of-five.
