Playoff Stage

The Playoff bracket is organized in a single-elimination style, meaning that each game is a critical match whose outcome determines who advances. The teams that have reached this level have demonstrated their talent and reliability, but ultimately, only one will claim the championship. All of the matches except the Grand Final will be played in a best-of-three (BO3) format; the Grand Final will be a best-of-five (B05) series.
