Following the Spring Split earlier on, this is the final stop before Worlds 2022.

Format
Specifically, the event will involve two stages of competition.
Kicking off with the Group Stage, the competition will start with a Double Round Robin. Indeed, that involves teams playing one another twice, with a total of 18 matches for each team, with BO3 matches.
