The leading squad from each group will be the first to secure their spot in the Semifinals. However, the second and third-ranked teams from each group will compete against each other in two Quarterfinals matches for a spot in the penultimate phase. The bottom two lineups from each group will be eliminated.


Playoffs

Six teams will compete in the Playoffs for the ultimate prize. These games, except the Grand Final, will happen in a best-of-nine (BO9) format. The first two Semifinals participants to secure five victories will advance to the last stage.

After the Group phase, the second-ranked team from Group A will compete against the third-ranked one in Group B, and the third-ranked squad from Group A will compete against the second-ranked one from Group B in the Quarterfinals. The two winning teams will face those that have already qualified for the Semifinals from the first stage.

The winners of the Semifinals fixtures will compete against each other in the Finals in a best-of-13 match. The first squad to register the fastest seven victories will snatch the champions’ trophy in the Finals. The defeated teams will fight for third place in a separate game.
