The group stage took place from 12 to 15 May. Within its framework, the teams fought to stay in the tournament and for the right to enter the upper bracket of the playoffs, which will be held in the Double-Elimination format. In Group B, representatives of the Mind Games team were disqualified ahead of schedule. This happened due to problems with visas for cybersportsmen. Thus, none of the teams from Group B had the risk of being relegated from the championship.
According to the results of the last stage, Gaimin Gladiators, Thunder Awaken, Team SoloMid and Team Spirit took the first four lines in the Group B table, which allowed them to start their journey from the upper bracket.
