Squads ranked from 129 to 512 will battle in the best-of-one Closed Qualifiers, with the top 128 teams moving on to the Double-Elimination Stage.
When it comes to claiming Open and Closed Qualifiers rewards, each team will have to play at least six matches in each stage.
The Double-Elimination Stage will feature 256 factions. Moreover, matches from round one to nine will be played as best-of-three series, while the remaining rounds will feature best-of-five battles up until the Lower Bracket Final.
In the end, the tournament will conclude with a best-of-seven Grand Final, with the top teams occupying at least 25% of the league spots at Preseason and Stage 1 in each region.
