During the past few weeks, players have climbed the Double Up ranked ladder to become the two highest-ranked players in order to represent their region at this global championship. The regions represented include North America, Europe North East, Europe West, Russia, Turkey, China, Korea, Brazil, Latin America North, Latin America South, Japan, Oceania as well as teams from various qualifier tournaments to round out the 16 team field.

These 16 teams will start off on Day 1 of the competition split into four lobbies. During Phase One, each duo will play three games and lobbies will rotate every two games. The eight teams with the lowest points after three games will then be eliminated and the remaining players will move to Phase Two.

During Phase Two, which will also take place on Day 1, points for the remaining teams will be reset before another three game session. After, the top four will advance to the finals on Day 2.

The Day 2 finals will wrap up the event with a five-game series between the remaining four teams. The duo with the highest point total at the end of five games will be crowned champion.
