The 29 teams have been divided into eight groups of three and four teams each. The format for the group stage is a single round-robin bracket and all matches are best-of-threes. The top two teams from each group advance to the playoffs.
Once the playoffs begin, however, the tournament shifts to a single-elimination format. All playoff matches are best-of-threes, with the exception of the grand finals, which is a best-of-five series.
All matches feature five-versus-five with draft picks.
While the winner of the tournament will take home $100,000, the runners-up will earn $75,000. The third-placed and fourth-placed will earn $65,000 and $60,000, respectively.
