HoYoverse has announced that Genshin Impact‘s First Genius Invokation TCG Asia Invitational will take place from January 11 to 21, 2024, with a total prize pool of 500,000 CNY (approximately 69,900 USD).

The top 16 players from the Dynamic Cup in the People’s Republic of China and three different The Prince Cup Asian regional tournaments will be invited to compete in Shanghai.

The Asia Invitational will unfold in two main phases: the group stage and the knockout stage. Both stages adopt the double-elimination format, in which contestants will be eliminated after losing the second game.

In the group stage, the sixteen players will be randomly divided into four groups and win the best of three games to secure the eight spots from January 11 to 14. The knockout stage will last from January 19 to 21, which will see the eight advancing players face off in intense best-of-five games.

On the final day, the champion must outlast other competitors in a best-of-seven match to take home the trophy and the top prize of 250,000 CNY.

Genshin Impact fans and players can watch matches live via @AstraCarnival on X, YouTube, and Twitch as well as @GenshinImpactOfficial on Twitch.
