[1] Two teams have temporarily let go of their coaches due to financial reasons: JYP and SaiPa.
Top six advanced straight to the quarter-finals, while teams between 7th and 10th positions played a wild card round for the final two spots.

The worse ranked team will play the first game at home.
There will be no over-time or penalty shoot-outs in the first game even if the score is tied.
