In the first round, opponents are matched based on seeding and regional protection rules to avoid early clashes between teams from the same country and maintain competitive balance. All first-round matches will be played in a Bo1 format, with winners facing each other in subsequent rounds and losers competing against other teams seeking a comeback.
