Eight teams will fly out to the beautiful Mediterranean island to duke it out for the crown, as well as the lion's share of a fifth of a million Euros.

With a grand total of eight participants, seven teams have already received invites, meanwhile a single slot has been reserved for the victor of a closed qualifier, taking place on Thursday, August 17th - Friday, August 18th.

Formatting and structure for the main event taking place in September will see the eight participants split into two groups of four. A GSL group stage will be seen (double-elimination, best-of-one followed by single-elimination, best-of-three elimination matches). Two teams that top their respective groups will immediately advance to the play-offs, whilst the six remaining teams duke it out in the decider matches. Once all four semi-finalists are decided, matches will take on a best-of-three, single-elimination setting, barring the grand final, which will sport a single-elimination, best-of-five format.
