The tournament will span just over a week, commencing with an initial group stage where 16 teams will be narrowed down to eight qualifiers. The group stage features a dynamic structure where each round's pairings are reseeded. To advance to the playoffs, a team must secure three victories. This can be achieved by winning the first three matches for a swift qualification, or by battling through to a 3-2 record. Conversely, any team accumulating three losses will be eliminated from the competition.
Once the playoffs commence, the format will switch to a single-elimination bracket, ensuring no second chances and high stakes for every match.
