HOTS TopAchat Tournament's trailer
Despite its youth, a lot of teams already had the time to show their skill during the beta. Therefore, 9 teams out of the 16 teams that will take part in this competition, will be invited. The 7 others will have to earn their spot trough two qualifiers on the 13th and 14th of June. As usual for a tournament organized by Millenium, one of those qualifiers will be only open to french teams ( with at least four french players). The other one will be open to all the european teams.

Then, the two best teams of each group will access the second phase of the competition, a single elimination bracket in best of 5 and best of 7 for the final.
