Format

The organizers of WePlay! Dota 2 Tug of War: Mad Moon did not think of anything unusual for the group stage - all the participants will get divided into two groups where they are to play by the GSL format with matches up to two wins. One best roster from each of the groups will get to the upper bracket of the playoff and the teams taking second positions will start their way in the lower bracket and the other participants will begin with an elimination match.
