In terms of format, there are the stages of competition.
Firstly, teams seeded for the Wildcard will compete from 4th August to the 7th. Accordingly, here a 16 Team Swiss System format will involve BO5 matches.
For those unaware, a Swiss System format means that all the teams will play random matches and progression involves winning 2 matches.
This will divide the Wildcard teams into a top 8 which will proceed to the Group Stage.
Running from August 9th to 13th, the 16 teams will split into 2 groups of 8. Within each group, a double eliminatino bracket will take place with BO7 matches. From each group of 8, only the top 4 teams from both sides will progress to the Playoffs.
Acting as the final stage of the competition, the final 8 will compete in a Single Elimination bracket on August 14th with BO7 matches. At the end of this bracket a new world champion would be crowned!
