The selection of this format was due to the concern that a elimination phase of eight teams would have to start the same day when it would end the group stage, which would force some teams to compete in the first matches of the eliminatory phase without Preparation time, Francois said. he said. After listening to the comments of the community, we determine that the raffle of the elimination phase could be held at an anterior point of the tournament, which would provide the teams with a clearer indication of their protective opponents, which would allow them to prepare for His first game of the eliminatory phase. The only additional requirement is that the calendar of the elimination phase should be established after the raffle.
The pressure of the community focused on the format of the playoff stage and the lack of equipment that could qualify for the event. The original format had the 16 teams playing in GSL groups and the best team of each one earned a place in the playoffs. This would have been in a category of simple elimination of four teams that would have taken place for two days.
Now, the group phase will be more like a phase of classical GSL groups, in which the winners of the upper and lower group will be classified for the playoffs, since Riot has now eliminated the game of final group confrontation. The playoffs will also be carried out during the four-day course and its serial head raffle will take place at an earlier point of the tournament.
The event will still be carried out from September 10 to 19 and will be presumably kept in its busy party agenda in the German city. There are still three posts to fill out for the International LAN event: the last place in Brazil and the two serial heads of Southeast Asia.
The two regions will coronate their final representatives on Saturday.
