Champions Stage is set and ready to go
After the three remaining teams qualified yesterday, the playoff bracket has been defined for the Jeunesse Arena games.
The quarter-finals and the rest of the playoffs will be as follows:
The draw is based on the seeding from the Legends Stage that combines the team record and the Buchholz score in relation to the other teams.
For example, Cloud9 and FURIA both qualified 3-0, and before the NAVI win, FURIA was the #1 seed with a 0 Buchholz score and C9 was #2 with a -1 score. After the NAVI win, FURIA was the #2 seed with a -3 score with C9 taking the #1 seed with a 0 Buchholz score.
FURIA is the only team from the American continent still remaining in the fight for the Major trophy after Liquid was eliminated by Spirit in a close 2-1 series.
FURIA started the Major with a defeat against BIG on a map the Brazilians forgot to close. After that, the team didn't drop a single map throughout its way to the playoffs, having won against 00 Nation, OG, and GamerLegion in the Challengers Stage, and then against ENCE, Spirit, and BIG in the Legends Stage.
