The 32 player tournament will start off with a double elimination group stage, eight groups of four players each. Players will be randomly drawn, but measures are in place to make sure each group will have players from all three continents. Group stages are best of three.
The playoffs will follow with a single elimination bracket, meaning a loss takes you out of the competition. All matches are best of five, other the the finals which will be best of seven.
