VCT Playoffs brackets -
The playoff brackets have been decided randomly, firstly all the #1 seeds from each group were randomly placed in 4 slots then the remaining 4 teams #2 seeds were randomly selected and were placed with the #1 seed. If the teams were from same group then the teams will be placed in opposite side of bracket in the empty slot.
The North American fans are pretty upset as all the 4 NA representatives are placed on the same side of the bracket and Envy and Sentinels will face each other in quarter finals. While this all was randomised it was still pretty unlucky for NA teams and fans.
