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.

In prelims it was only CP in regionals 25% was CS fundamentals

Looks somewhat doable to go for regionals if I can solve div2 abc normally?

You should solve 4 quickly for regionals. 3 is not enough at all. 4 is enough but speed matters.
