What happens at the end of the first qualifying round?
Players will have until April 15 to achieve top rankings in their battlegroups. The top teams from each battlegroup will be invited to participate in the second qualification round, where they will compete with the top teams from the other battlegroups in their region. Characters on the qualifying teams will be copied to a public test realm (PTR) and will have two weeks (April 21 to May 4) to compete for the top eight spots and advance to the regional tournament.

What happens after that?
The top eight teams that qualified from the second qualification round will then compete at a live regional event (time and date to be announced in the near future). The top teams (likely a different number of teams per region) will then advance to the global finals!
