With the teams decided, here’s how the bracket for the playoffs will take place. It’s worth noting that this is a best-of-three, single-elimination bracket. That means if a side loses a single showdown, they’re out of the event. The grand finals will be a best-of-five battle between the two tops teams. And for NA fans watching, Sentinels’ second-place group finish means that only one NA side is capable of securing a place in the grand final. Here’s when each match will take place:
