The third season of the European Development Championship is here just 2 months after the conclusion of the last season, where the German lineup of Sprout fought their way through to a victory. Receiving a direct invite once again this time, it will be interesting to see if they can successfully defend their title or not.

The Group Stage will witness the 16 teams - 12 directly invited, the remaining 4 making their way through various qualifiers, being divided into 4 equal groups. The top 2 teams from each group will further qualify onto the Playoffs stage.

The opening matches of the Group Stage will be a single game affair followed by all other matches being a best-of-three series. On the other hand, the Playoffs stage will feature a best-of-three matchup right from the very start across a single-elimination format.
