ESL Masters Winter – Regional Playoffs

by Wax

With two weeks of group play concluded, it’s time to move onto the playoff phase of the ESL Pro Tour Winter regionals.

A number of major changes have been made since EPT Summer. First, the playoff format has been changed from single-elimination to double-elimination. As this has increased the number of playoff games, the duration of the playoffs has also increased from one week to two weeks (total match days: 5 -> 7). Also, the number of main event seeds awarded in the Asia region has increased from one to two.

Schedule & Format: All three regions are played using a double-elimination bracket (8 players for Americas and Asia; 16 players for Europe). All rounds are best-of-5 until the grand finals. Grand finals are best-of-7 with the winners’ bracket player having a one map advantage.

• Week 1 – November 9-12: Double elimination brackets. Half the players from each regional competition are eliminated in week one.
• Week 2 – November 17-19: Remainder of double-elim bracket is played until all regional champions are decided.

• EPT Asia start time: 12:00 GMT (+00:00)
• EPT Europe estimated start time: 14:00 GMT (+00:00) (begins after EPT Asia concludes)
• EPT Americas estimated start time: 18:00 GMT (+00:00) (begins after EPT Europe concludes)
