The 33 best trios from Europe, North America, Brazil, Asia, and Oceania will compete for the prestigious trophy and a hefty cash prize.

Dominant teams such as Peterbot, Cold, and Ritual, who excelled in Majors 2 and 3, as well as European stars vic0, Veno, and Flickzy, have increased the stakes for this epic confrontation.
