The games switch to a bo3 setting after the first round with the second round in the upper bracket serving as the qualifying round. Two wins straight out the gate will confirm a team's appearance at the Major.

A loss in the first or second round, sends teams into the lower bracket, upon clearing which, a single team books their Major slot, filling the Asia-Pacific quota at the Perfect World Shanghai 2024 Major. The opening round's matchups were revealed a couple of months back, right after the closed qualifiers concluded.
