Qualification procedure
Players from all available regions can participate in the qualification process. You can enter the championship in two ways:
- Each region will host multiple qualifiers each month. Players will earn Championship Points (CP)according to their position after each month.
- The teams with the most CP after the end of all tournaments will qualify for the World Championship. CP players can be retained so they can switch teams mid-season.
An Open Qualifier phase, similar to the February Cup, will be included in the monthly event. The top eight teams from the open qualifiers will advance to the monthly finals, which will take place one week after the open qualifiers. Players can also participate in the Aeos Cup, which will be held in March and will have more CP and prizes than the monthly tournaments.
