Each team will face every other team on his group on a Best-of-three format. The top team from each group will proceed directly into the LAN finals to be held later this year.



Fifteen play days for the Phase 3 of the qualifiers are divided into three periods. The first two periods consists of twelve days, where all the group stage matches will be played. Each date on the first two periods is set to only have one game, all scheduled at 1930 GMT+8 (1230 CET).

As said earlier, the top team from each each group will proceed directly into the LAN finals. The second and third ranked team on each group will then compete against each other on the last play period to determine the final two teams heading into the LAN finals.

The second placer from group A will play the second placer from Group B to determine who will go through to the offline playoffs. The same goes for the team who comes third.

The third placer from Group A will also play the third placer from Group B in a best-of-three format. The winner of this will have to play the loser of second placers battle. The winner will proceed to the offline event.

Here is the video of the group draw.
