Matchups are created depending on results from previous rounds, with early matches likely pairing second-place teams against third-place teams from other regions. Every game will be played as a best-of-three. At the end of this stage, four teams will qualify for playoffs, and the rest will be eliminated.
The Playoffs take place from June 13 to June 22. This is a double-elimination bracket featuring the four Swiss Stage winners and the four regional champions. Most of the playoff matches will be best-of-three, but the intensity will rise in the Lower Bracket Final and the Grand Final, which will be played in a best-of-five format.
