BLAST Slam 2 format
The tournament has two stages - the Group Stage and the Playoffs. The Group Stage will see two groups of five teams each. The teams play each other in a round-robin format, with every series being a best-of-one series.
The best team advances to the semifinals while the second-place team goes to the quarterfinals. The 3rd-place team moves to Round 2. The remaining two teams go to Round 1, where they will face other similarly placed teams.
The playoffs are a single-elimination format where the Grand Finals is the only best-of-five series. All other matches in the playoffs are best of three series.
