The tournament, which was initially supposed to take place as a LAN affair at the Coca Coca stadium in Dubai, UAE, was converted into an online setup after three players tested positive for COVID19. The players hence competed in isolation from their respective hotel rooms.

Despite these obstacles, the audience enjoyed the tournament, as players put on what was a spectacular showcase of their skills, with top notch plays and intense fights.
