Brief season description

The regular season will commence with group stage play. Players will be divided into 20 groups with approximately 11-12 players in each group. In these groups, all players will face each other once and finally the top 6 players from each group will advance to the playoffs (a total of 120 players). The playoffs will be played in best-of-five manner with the exception of a live-event, where the semifinals and finals would be best-of-three. The fourth round of the playoffs will hold 32 players, as invitees Erik @Eki Tammenpää and Arttu @Artuzio Mustila will join the tournament at that stage. The remaining 32 players will be divided into groups of four players, where they will play to face each opponent twice. The two best players in each group will advance to the top 16 finals, which are again played in a best-of-five manner.
