After months of prelims in countries all over the world, the time has come when the groups will actually be named. The players will be split into eight groups consisting of eight players in each group. The top 2 in each group will advance into the tournament stage consisting of the top 16 players. All of the games in the tournament stage will be single elimination.
The live announcment will be made at 5am CET where we will find out who will be placed into what group. Hopefully, the groups will be as balanced as possible to allow for the most fair play.
