ESL Pro League S7 Finals bracket released

4-5-2018 23:54

ESL has revealed the initial match-ups for the upcoming Pro League Season 7 Finals.

The Pro League Finals will run from May 14-20 and culminate with a live event at the Verizon Theatre, in Dallas, where 16 teams will compete for their cut of a $750,000 prize pool.

The leading teams of the European and the North American Pro League divisions, plus the top two sides of the Asia-Pacific Finals and the winner of ESL LA League, have been split into two double-elimination groups, featuring a best-of-three format after the first round of matches.

FaZe will take on Cloud9 in the first round

The first round will feature an exciting early clash between FaZe and Cloud9, two teams who have met at every big event this year. Astralis will lock horns with the new OpTic roster in an all-Danish showdown, while MOUZ will face the winner of the match between FURIA and Sharks.

The group winners will automatically progress to the semi-finals, while the runners-up and the third-placed sides will fight for survival in the first round of the playoffs.

Below you can find the initial match-ups for the event:

Group A
MOUZ	vs.	ESL LA League winner
FaZe	vs.	Cloud9
NRG	vs.	HellRaisers
Natus Vincere	vs.	MVP PK
Group B
Liquid	vs.	Grayhound
Space Soldiers	vs.	Renegades
OpTic	vs.	Astralis
Ninjas in Pyjamas	vs.	SK

2018-05-05 00:13

I can not say. They're not playing on the highest stage like in 2014 or 2016. I just hope they will win something big in the future

They didn’t make it out of the MDL. And they didn’t make it for faceit league final as well. So we won’t see them till later on this year hopefully make it out of their slump.

Since its ESL they are probably doing the shitty 6 team only playoffs, unless it was confirmed otherwise already?

twitter.com/ESLCS/status/992484863482753..

2018-05-05 00:01

That shows the 6 team playoffs. 1 team from each group goes to semis, 2 go to quarters. Stupid system imo

Meh, this event feels a little weak until it reaches playoffs...

2018-05-08 23:23

its taken 5 years to find the best tournament format, but finally theyve found something thats legit... i really hope the major implements the upper/lower bracket group stage, it is easily the most fair to all teams and the best teams come out.
