Swiss Stage (March 14th – 18th)
Teams are randomly drawn into four opening matches based on their Kickoff results. Winners face winners, while losers face losers, with no teams from the same region battling each other. This stage uses a Best-of-Three series format. Teams need two wins before accumulating two losses across a maximum of three rounds to advance.
Bracket Stage (March 21st – 24th)
The four teams emerging from the Swiss Stage enter a double-elimination bracket. A random draw determines their first opponents. Winners progress through the upper bracket, while losers drop to the lower bracket. A best-of-five series awaits in both the Lower Bracket Finals and the Grand Finals to determine the champion.
