The tournament structure consists of three phases. The initial Open Qualifiers will operate on a single-elimination basis with bo3 matches throughout, from which four teams will advance. These teams will join four invited teams in the Closed Qualifiers, where eight teams will be divided into two groups of four for a league-style group stage.

The Main Event, speculated to end in LAN setting, will feature the top four teams from the Closed Qualifiers competing in a single-elimination bracket. While the semi-finals will be bo3 matches, the grand finals will be played in a bo5 format to determine the champion.
