All proceedings will be coordinated via Battlefy, and all communications will be distributed via our Discord.

We will be doing an online Swiss Qualifier on 27th November, and then the top 8 teams will progress to an In Person Finals hosted at Warwick Esports Centre on 4th December! All games will be streamed with delay at: https://www.twitch.tv/warwickesports
