As you can see, we are near the end of the league and we are approaching the finals and here are some information about it. 

All teams from each division will participate and have a chance to fight for prices from SteelSeries in a huge playoff. Finals will be structured so that there will be a simple 32 team double elimination bracket with the words that you will get a second chance if you lose in the Winner Bracket.

The winner in the Winner Bracket final will meet the winner in the looser bracket final in a Grand final where the team from the winner bracket only needs to win one map to take home the 1st place

The first playoff matches will be placed like this; The winner of Division A will face the last placed team in Division 5, Second place in Division A will meet the second-last placed team in Division 5 and so on. 

The matches will be played with MR12, Maps will be decided by the xVera crew. Knife round for side choice. If a third map is needed the xVera crew will have a third map decided. The first team to reach 13 rounds wins the map. The winner of the match is the team that wins 2 maps.

[b]And last but not least the Prices from our sponsor SteelSeries will be the following:
