Four European teams will face off from February 10-11 in this double-elimination bracket, which will use a best-of-one format in the first round and a best-of-three system in the rounds thereafter.

NiP, fnatic, HellRaisers and LDLC (now known as EnVyUs) were invited to the take part in the tournament, but, according to fragbite, the ASUS ROG Winter champions have been forced to pull out of the competition due to personal problems from one of their players.
