Vitality, Falcons, Spirit on same side of EWC playoff bracket

A stacked bottom half of the bracket has arisen as a result of the group stage upsets.

With the conclusion of the Esports World Cup group stage the draw for the playoffs has now been made, and there are some fascinating potential matchups on the horizon as EWC moves into the do-or-die portion of the event.

The most notable fact is that Spirit , Vitality and Falcons have all been drawn onto the same side of the bracket, meaning only one of the three can make it all the way to the grand final.

The bracket has played out in this way because of the upsets that hit during the group stage, with the group winners and group runners up going into separate pools for the draw.

FURIA will be the team most thankful for the way the draw played out, as they are on the much weaker side of the bracket and will fancy themselves to make it all the way to the grand final.

The full matchups for the opening round of the playoffs are as follows:
