That's right! It's a "cluster round" designed to throw a stone at ladder rankings in what I'm sure will have plenty of ramifications down the line.

In terms of pure firepower, you can't look past Game 1 in reigning premiers Buenos Aires vs #1 scoring team of 2023 Rome. Only 30ish SC points have split these two teams so far, whom both are averaging a tick above 146ppg.

Toronto v Seoul is another big game, whilst I also think Berlin/Christchurch could be interesting too.
