Before the official Rising Stars League tournaments start in various regions of the world, the organizers revealed that there would be several prequels, first of which will be the Rising Stars SEA Promotional Cup that will kick off on April 20.

Two groups of four teams will battle it out in a best-of-one group stage format and the top two from both groups will advance to the playoffs which will be played as best-of-three games and will have a single-elimination bracket.
