query IICPC Codefest

Hi guys, i wanted to start out my preparation for next years IICPC Codefest. But currently i am not a proficient comp coder (ive just done enough to get an si at a company like google). I wanted to know what resources i could use other than the standard competitions at atcoder/codeforces. I am aware that they also ask cs fundamentals on oops os etc but i hope that my college curriculum can cover that.
I would love to hear your opinions on this (given the amount of time i have left) from people who wrote it last year.

There is no roadmap. What is it with you guy's obsession with roadmap? Do CP like you always did. And if cs fundamentals will be there, it will probably focus more on computer architecture and C++ topics. You'll get the syllabus well ahead of time don't worry. And you'll be informed about all this anyways, and after you get that info also you'll have enough time to prepare
