Play-ins
During the Play-ins stage, five teams from the Wild Rift Champions SEA and Wild Rift Oceania Championships tournaments (1st runner-ups from WCS Masters, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, and the champion of the Wild Rift Oceania Championships) will compete in a single round-robin match in which each team will play each other in a Best-of-3 format.
The top team in each of the five groups will advance directly to the Playoffs, while the teams in second and third place will play a best-of-five series to determine the remaining Playoffs position.
Play-offs
The two teams who advanced from the Play-ins. They will fight in a double elimination format against the six sub-regional winners of the Wild Rift Champions SEA in the Playoffs stage.
These eight teams will be divided into two four-team pools. The sub-regional champions of WCS Masters, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam are in the first pool, while the sub-regional champions of WCS Malaysia & Singapore, Indonesia, and the two qualified teams from the Play-ins round are in the second pool. Teams from the same sub-regions are not allowed to compete against one another.
Teams from the first pool will face off against teams from the second pool in the playoffs.
Second Chances
The winners of the first round of playoff matches will progress to the Upper Bracket’s next round, while the losers will be relegated to the Lower Bracket. Except for the Lower Bracket Finals and Grand Finals, which will be played in a Best-of-7 style, all matches will be played in a Best-of-5 format.
If a team fails to qualify for the finals in the Upper Bracket, they will have another chance to qualify in the Lower Bracket by winning their remaining matches.
The top four teams from the Southeast Asia area will play in the Wild Rift Icons Global Championship this summer in Europe!
