All sixteen teams play in a BO1 round robin. The top two teams from each group advance to the playoffs, while the bottom two are eliminated. The 3rd-6th place teams from each group will proceed to the Breakout round, where the winners in this BO3 round advance to the playoffs. From here, the usual double-elimination system takes over.
