Four teams are automatically qualified after their result in last year's World Cup tournament. Those are Spain, Poland, Russia and Canada. When the actual tournament starts there will be 16 participating teams, and to determine what nations except for the mentioned who will get a spot there will be determined by a group play, where the winners in eight groups consisting of four nations each will be qualified. That leaves four more spots, that will be played for among the second placed teams in the groups.
This is how the groups look like.

Mexico Chile Netherlands United Kingdom

The first round of matches must be finished before the end of April, and matches will be played in a format with five 1on1 matches that are all best out of three games. The first map is Longinus.
In the case of several teams all finishing at the same number of wins/losses, WGTour will use the following set of rules to determine who moves on and who don't.
-In the event of a two way tie, whoever won the match between the two teams will advance.
-In the event of a three way tie in the group, it will come down to total matches won for the three matches. If there is still a three way tie, it will come down to the ’small matches’ won. If the first case is met and there is only a two way tie, it will come down to whoever won the match between the two nations.
Cases will be handled as fairly as possible.
