The tournament format follows most of the rules of a Counter-Strike 2 tournament. The group stage will be a double elimination best-of-three. The top team in the group stage will advance to the semifinals in the playoffs, the runners-up will advance to the quarterfinals as high seeds, and the third-place finishers will advance to the quarterfinals as low seeds.
The playoffs will be a single-elimination bracket. The quarterfinals and semifinals are going to be best-of-three, with the grand final being a best-of-five.
Here are the eight teams participating in the tournament:
- The MongolZ

The event will last until Nov. 16, 2025. Liquipedia ranks this event as an S-Tier, while Valve ranks it as a Wildcard tournament. Regardless of the rank, this tournament is one of the highest-level ones this year simply because of its attendees.
