4 winners advance, losers are eliminated. [/] Playoffs [/] 8 teams: 4 winners of the Breakout and the Top 4 winners from Group Stage [/] Double-elimination bracket. [/] The first two rounds of the Lower bracket are Bo1, while the Grand Finals are Bo5. Others are Bo3.
really not sure what to make of EG vs VP. I'd guess (and that's all it is, a guess) that EG is one of the better teams to take on VP from a mindset point-of-view. Also, VP might be a little down from yesterday... So I'd honestly put the series at much more of a coinflip than it should be. It being bo1 only makes that more extreme.
But yeah this bo1 business is weird. I can kind of get behind that for the r1 LB but bo1 for top6 games (a win to get top4) is silly. That should not be happening
Other than that I'm on TL to win, Vici to win, EG vs VP? hell who knows, TNC to win?
Upper bracket goes really interesting. 3 of the 4 teams really need those locked in DPC points, as the loser still faces a Bo1, which means a draft mistake and your tournament is over. Mineski puts themselves in prime position for a direct invite with at least 3rd. LGD needs 2nd.
There's a funny scenario where Mineski gets 4th, LGD gets 3rd and Na'Vi stays in the hunt for a TI invite by the barest of margins.
