SL i-League Inv. #1 viewer's guide

You'll find everything you might need to know about SL i-League Invitational #1, set to begin in less than 12 hours, in our viewer's guide.

The SL i-League Invitational will take place in the Olimpiyskiy Football Stadium in Kiev, Ukraine, from May 19-22, with eight teams in attendance of the $100,000 event.

Keep in mind that Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev's Worst Players have replaced Born Of Fire as the Chinese were initially supposed to travel to Kiev but weren't able to acquire visas. 

The eight participants have been drawn into a double-elimination, best-of-three bracket. While the double elimination usually gives some sort of an advantage to the upper bracket winner, it will not be the case here.

The upper bracket quarter-final match-ups can be seen in the schedule below:

Thursday, May 19th
09:00 Europe HellRaisers vs. Denmark SK UB1
09:00 Poland Virtus.pro vs. Ukraine Worst Players UB2
12:00 UB1 loser vs. UB2 loser LB1
15:00 Ukraine FlipSid3 vs. Sweden GODSENT UB3
15:00 World Natus Vincere vs. Poland Dobry&Gaming UB4
       
Friday, May 20th
09:00 UB3 loser vs. UB4 loser LB2
12:00 UB1 winner vs. UB2 winner UB5
18:00 UB3 winner vs. UB4 winner UB6
       
Saturday, May 21st
09:00 LB1 winner vs. UB6 loser LB3
12:00 LB2 winner vs. UB5 loser LB4
18:00 Upper bracket final    
       
Sunday, May 22nd
