Eight participants in two GSL groups will fight in best-of-three matches, and the top academy team from each group will go straight to the LAN Finals at WePlay Arena in Kyiv, Ukraine. This time we've slightly changed the format. As it was in Season 1, teams will be divided into two GSL groups, and the top team from each group will qualify for the main event — LAN Finals at our comfortable and bright WePlay Arena in Kyiv, Ukraine. Unlike the previous season, teams in 2nd and 3rd places will proceed to a "Last Chance Group" to compete for the opportunity to get to the LAN Finals. The matches will take place from October 7th to 9th as Play-In Stage with Double-Elimination bracket and Bo3 matches. The winners in each group will proceed to the LAN event.
