IEM Melbourne playoff bracket set

MOUZ and Vitality will start their playoff run from the semi-finals.

The IEM Melbourne playoff bracket has been drawn out following the conclusion of the final group stage matches, with six teams set to play at the Rod Laver Arena from the quarter-finals on April 25 through the grand final on April 27.

Notably missing will be Natus Vincere, who continue to flounder ever since becoming Team of the Year in 2024, after losing to Liquid in the Group B lower bracket final.

The other heavy hitters who could not make it out of the groups were FaZe, who went down to GamerLegion in a two-map series in the Group A lower bracket final.

The two best teams in the world in the VRS, Vitality and MOUZ, topped their respective groups and are straight through to the semi-finals on either side of the bracket.

GamerLegion and Falcons will play the first quarter-final on Friday in a bid to reach the semi-final against MOUZ, while the other side pits The MongolZ up against Liquid for a shot at the undisputed hottest team in the world right now, Vitality.
