Playoffs set to start in Chicago
With the Group Stage having wrapped up with the 16-14 finish of RivaL over Drip or Drown, the bracket has been created for Mad City: Chicago.
The Round of 16 match-ups look as follows:

RivaL will be playing a sub known as "examples" and X1 will be fielding "AWOL" after the incident involving Jasper "sfX" Ko and Alex "PTRIP" Kruszewski.
Due to the way the seeding was done, Etherian will be playing their Group 5 rivals, ESEA Clout Tokens. Shawn "witmer" Taylor will see to it that the team he found to be the biggest threat, Drip or Drown, will be defeated in the Round of 16 as the two will play each other right away.
Matches will be played in a Best of 1 format until the Quarter-finals begin later on today, in which they will become Best of 3. The Grand Finals being played tomorrow will have a Best of 5.
