Teams placing fifth and sixth in the round robin will be eliminated from the tournament.



Gosugamers is attempting to reach G-1 higher ups to explain how the tiebreak will work considering the 2x3 groupstage may be very prone to draws.



The schedule for the tournament is extremely unfortunate considering the Eastern qualifiers for The International 3 will also run on the same weekend.
