In Phase One (1), teams can name three (3) key players to build the backbone of their squad. These players can be duplicates among the participating teams.

In Phase Two (2), teams participate in the Live Draft. During the draft, each team selects 10 in-game players in a snake draft order. Key players from phase one (1) are removed and cannot be selected during the Live Draft. There can be no duplicates during this phase.

In Phase Three (3), teams complete their in-game squad by selecting players from the open pool. The open pool contains all players from the pre-defined player pool that have not been selected in phase one (1) or phase two (2). In-game players chosen in phase three (3) can again be duplicates.

In Phase Four (4), players drafted by teams eliminated in the group stage become available to the teams that advance to the knockout stage. Based on their final group stage ranking, each advancing team may select two (2) players from the pool of players originally drafted in Phase Two (2) by the eliminated teams.
