Epicenter XL Open and Close Qualifiers took place in 6 regions: CIS, Europe, South America, North America, China and Southeast Asia. The eight qualifying teams will be divided into two groups, with the top four advancing to the Double Elimination Playoffs. The group stage takes place in the BO3 GSL format, the Playoff is BO3 and the final is BO5.
In the final qualifying round called Madness Qualifiers, a total of 289 participating teams were divided into BO1 brackets to win the final spot. This qualifier is not limited to the teams that have participated in the previous qualifier. So whoever loses in the previous qualifier will have one more chance, including Evil Geniusues (unfortunately, they didn’t make the top 8 of the Madness round).
