The champion of each region, excluding Cambodia, will be given a bye to the quarterfinal of the tournament.
The placement of the remaining teams will then be determined through the captain’s draw. A representative from the MPL champions in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines will pick which teams they want to face by drafting them into their bracket.
The draft order will be determined with a lottery-style draw. Once the order has been determined, the draft will proceed until all teams have been selected.
The captain’s draw will be broadcasted live on ONE Esports’ Facebook, TikTok, Twitch, and YouTube channels. MPL ID casters Rachael “Aeterna” Melati and Frederick Handy “Mirko” Loho will host the show.
