Teams Included in Alpha Bracket:
The 32 participating teams have been divided into two separate 16-team brackets: the Alpha and Omega bracket, inspired by the lore of Alpha and Omega Earths. Each match within these brackets will be a best-of-three (Bo3) series, where the stakes are high and every team will be fighting for their survival. The brackets are single-elimination, meaning that one loss could spell the end of a team’s journey. The pressure is on, and the competition is expected to be fierce.
