In the Hussar Cup tournament, which will be held in Poland, eight teams will compete for top prize of $350,000.
The tournament will take place in Chorzów, Poland, with the Śląski Stadium acting as the venue. In addition, there will be parallel events including a gaming and technology exhibition, seminars, and debate panels, as well as a municipal parade.
Eight teams, four qualified and four invited, will compete in the event. These teams will initially be divided into best-of-three groups, similar to the GSL. The group winners will progress to the playoff semifinals, while the runners-up and third-place finishers will move on to the quarterfinals. A single-elimination, best-of-three format will be used for the playoffs.
