Privileges for teams bringing in fans
Apart from the standard privileges such as travel and accommodation, YaLLa have promised support and rewards to teams who bring their fans to these tournaments. This initiative is aimed at increasing attendance, which has traditionally been low in the region. However, specific details about the rewards and support have not yet been revealed.

The top two teams in this tournament will earn spots in the YaLLa Compass 2025 closed qualification tournament.
