A total of 32 teams from around the world had arrived in Seoul. The first thing they had to play was the group stage, divided into Groups A and B, with the same rules as before.

The teams placed in the same group as 4AM included South Korea's AFS and RGS, North America's TSM, and Europe's TL and NIP.
There were also Thailand's AG and TO, as well as teams from other countries.
As for Faze, the biggest favorite to win this World Championship besides 4AM, they had also come to this FGS tournament.

Still, this was good in its own way. The strength of the two groups was fairly even, unlike at the previous London tournament, where 4AM had been placed in a group of death packed with top-tier
