Eight squads will duke it out from October 20-22 at The National Western Complex in Denver, Colorado, USA. A total of $100,000 will be on offer, with the champions taking home half of that figure.

The teams have been divided into groups of four, and they will kick it off with a GSL group stage which will have best-of-one opening and winners' matches. The elimination and decider games will be played as best-of-three series.
