All series in the tournament will be implementing the Global Ban-pick System.

This means 10 heroes will be automatically banned for the following game and another 10 for each game played.

This does not include the usual bans that happened during the draft phase.

There is one catch: The team must propose their lineup and common spells in three minutes.

All teams will compete in the Group Stage.

This year, however, the KPL’s representative will not participate in the tournaments.

As the host nation, the Philippines also gets another slot for their qualifier.
