China Nguyen topped the group stage with a 6-1 record, showing their dominance early on in the event. The positions from 4th-6th place were the most highly contested, with all three of these teams finishing the group stage with a 3-4 record. Out of Mamba Mode Gaming (MMG), Shiba, and SUPERFLY, MMG came out on top due to a higher round-differential. This granted them the fourth place in the initial stage of the event.

The last two teams were disqualified from the event, so the purpose of the group stage was to determine the seedings going into the playoffs bracket.
