The tournament will feature 16 top teams that have emerged from local qualifiers representing regions including Vietnam, Mongolia, Australia, Thailand, China, India, Singapore, Korea, the Philippines, and the Middle East. The regional representatives will be announced starting in November. These teams will face off in a series of intense matches, leading up to the Grand Final in Shanghai, where the ultimate champions will be crowned.
