Eight teams remain and it’s not who you might think would make it
The group stage of the VCT Champs 2023 has come to an end. Sixteen teams started at the event and only half of them now remain in the playoffs. Right after the group stage, Riot also revealed the VCT Champs Playoffs Schedule.
What is the VCT Champs Playoffs Schedule?
The VCT Champs 2023 Playoffs teams have been finalized and so have the fixtures for the next few days.
The VCT Champs Playoffs matches are as follows:
- Fnatic vs LOUD
- PRX vs FUT
- DRX vs BLG
- Evil Geniuses vs EDward Gaming.
The playoffs feature a double-elimination format where each team gets at least two opportunities to prove themselves. Teams that fall down to the lower bracket will, obviously, have a tougher time than those in the upper bracket. But if history is anything to go by, wading your way through the lower bracket might just prove to be the necessary warmup when you do actually reach the Grand Finals.
