Regions compete each week in a Best-of-5 set. Regions are paired against each other every Sunday (I.E. North America vs. Europe, Latin America vs. Oceania, Global vs. Asia/Pacific in a single day) 5 players from each region will be paired against each other in a BO3 set, whoever wins, earns a point towards their Region’s BO5 set.

Top 4, Single Elimination Phase
The top 4 regions in points after each week will progress on to the Top 4, Single Elimination Phase. This phase is one week.

The Best-of-five set is similarly structured to previous phases, where players from each region play a BO3 set, and the winner earns a win toward their region's BO5 set.
