First day of FRAG LCQ wraps up
Day one of Fragadelphia is upon us, and boy, what a competition it is shaping out to be. Fragadelphia 17 reportedly has the largest team attendance in its history and also has one of the largest prizepools for an open North American event. Today, we will see teams like Apeks, BIG Academy, 7AM, and BLVKHVND facing off against some of NA's best to make it into the group stage starting on Saturday.
To understand how Fragadelphia is structured, you can read the full explanation from the organizers themselves here, or continue reading as we do our best to simplify it below.
There are 33 LCQ teams that will be playing in a double-elimination bracket today and tomorrow. The top eight teams will then join eight invited squads in four groups of four starting on Saturday. With group play happening all on Saturday, the top eight teams will then play in a single-elimination playoff bracket on Sunday.
We have a lot to see in the upcoming three days, so follow along on this live blog, the bracket and the various streams from Fragadelphia!
