The competition occurs across three days; July 6, 7, 8, and 9. Before the main tournament begins, Gamers8 will host a regional Middle East qualifier on July 6 to fill out the five remaining spots.

Then, from July 7 to 9, competitors will participate in six daily games with a different scoring system during each session.

Ultimately, the final placement on the leaderboard will depend on each duo’s placement points and eliminations earned across the three days.
