- Multiple qualifying tournaments will be held in each region each month. Players will earn Championship Points (CP), based on their position after each month.
- The teams with the most CPs after the end of all the tournaments will qualify for the World Championship. Players’ CPs can be retained for them to be able to change teams in the mid-season.
An Open Qualifier phase, similar to the February Cup, will be included in the event that takes place each month. The top eight teams from the Open Qualifier will go on to the Monthly Finals competition, which will be held one week following the Open Qualifier. Players can also participate in the Aeos Cup, which will take place in March and will feature more CP and prizes than the monthly tournaments.
