Playoff Grid

All of the 8 teams in the qualifiers were directly invited, as there wasn´t enough time to hold an open qualifier, however there is no doubt that the invited teams are the best China has to offer. They will battle each other in a single elimination format from May6 to May 13 with each match being a Best of 3, with the exception of the Grand Finals which will be a Best of 5.The winner will go to Frankfurt to compete for the $150,000+ prizepool, while the 2nd and 3rd place will have a second shot at the Asian qualifier.Make sure you also check out joinDOTA´s coverage page , where you can easily access every piece of information regarding the ESL One Frankfurt.
