The play-in stage and group stage groupings were recently held on September 22nd on this channel.
The play-in stage will be held twice, while the group stage will be held only once.
Play-in stage: In round 1, the 10 teams will be divided into two groups, playing in a tournament format, with each match progressing in Bo1.
The first place in each group will advance to the group stage, while the other teams ranked 2-4 will advance to the Play-in: Round 2, where the lowest ranked team in each group will be eliminated on the spot.
In the Play-in Stage: Round 2, the teams will play in a tournament format as well, with each match progressing in Bo5.
The second-placed team will be seeded and the remaining third- and fourth-placed teams will play first, with the winning team from that group playing the second-placed team. The team that loses this match will be eliminated. Finally, four teams will advance to the group tournament: the two teams that win Round 1 and the two teams that win Round 2.
The group stage will be played in a round-robin format, with the top two teams from each match Bo1 and each group advancing to the knockout stage.
