Understandably, Pop Flash will feature the founding members of B Site, which are Cloud9, Dignitas, Envy, Immortals, and Gen.G Esports, in addition to, Sentinels, T1, and TSM. The eight participating teams will be split into two groups of four, to play three days of group stage, with the top two teams in each group qualifying to the playoffs. The final four teams will go head-to-head in a double elimination bracket format to determine the winner and champion of the final Ignition Series tournament of North America.
