Let’s move on to the format and schedule below.

With regards to the format, there are two steps of competition.
Firstly, we’ll have the Group Stage from 16th November to 21st November. Here, the 12 teams have been split into 4 groups of 3 teams as listed below:
Group A

Of note, no teams from the same league have been featured in the same group while League Champions from the different regions have also been separated.
Within the Group Stage, teams will compete in a double round robin with BO5 matches. Here, the top 2 teams of each group will progress while the third place teams will be eliminated.
Moving on, the surviving teams will make it to the Playoffs. Accordingly, from November 26th to December 11th, a double elimination bracket will decide the competition. Note that Playoffs Round 1 matches are played in a BO5 match.
Furthermore, all other matches are played in a BO7 while all matches will be played with Global Ban-Pick Rules.
At the end of the double elimination bracket, only one team wil be left and will be crowned the best Arena of Valor esports team in the world. Do note that a separate venue for the Playoffs is yet to be announced.
