This is where the stakes rise, the pressure mounts, and every round is a fight to stay in the game. The Playoffs unfold through a multi-round, double-elimination format that gives every competitor a second chance to fight their way back after a loss. The official match servers have now been finalized, setting the stage for the first round of Playoff battles.

Second Chance Bracket

  • Round 2:
    • Top 2 of 5 advance to Round 3
  • Round 3:
    • Top 3 of 7 advance (one match will have 6 players; top 3 advance)
