GROUP STAGE
The admin team has seeded the teams of the tournament, judging current rosters, past tournament performances and their overall situation, consulting a good amount of players of different teams. Teams inside the tiers are splitten into different groups, having 4 tiers of 5 teams each, reaching this way well balanced groups. The Group Stage will last 5 weeks. 1 team out of the 5 will rest every week. Top 2 Advance into Knockout Stage.

Maps and factions are randomised, following this condition: Every type of map(open,mixed or closed), cannot be repeated on the same week, same goes for the factions, if two are used on the first map, we apply a filter for the second randomisation, as a result we obtain the following match ups:
