With a prize pool of $100k, the LAN tournament will kick off on 9th December.

The tournament is divided into two stages viz. Group Stage and Playoffs Stage.
The group stage will have the eight teams divided into groups of four, and they will play each other to seed the teams in the group. The top three teams from each group will be seeded into playoffs. The first-seeded team from one group will play in the semifinals—the second-seeded and third-seeded teams will play in the quarterfinals and qualify for the semifinals.
The playoff will follow a single-elimination BO3 bracket. Only one of the six playoff teams will win the Red Bull Home Grounds bragging rights and take home a significant chunk of the $100K prize pool.

The group stage will start on 9th December and will have three BO1 matches to decide the four teams in the playoffs. The tournament will be a litmus test for Cloud9's new superstar roster, and if the roster can perform at a higher level, They'd solidify themselves as the threat for VCT 2023 Kickoff tournament. The second team people will have their eyes on will be the new Team Liquid, who would be in the race to upset Cloud9.
A likely tournament run will be Cloud9 vs. Team Liquid finals, and the EU/NA will be a good start for the VCT 2023 season.
100 Thieves have already looked strong, and with Cryocells, it'd be interesting to see how the team will fare amongst the teams. The tournament will be a good test for most teams and will be fun to watch.
Where and When to watch Red Bull Home Ground?
Red Bull Twitch will live stream the tournament.
The tournament will surely be a great experience, and we will see a few of the best teams in action.
