Your playoffs teams are Chiefs, Enterprise, Man LFO and Rival, seeded in that order.
The chiefs look very poised to make EWC. They went almost undefeated in the group stage, beating all 3 other playoffs teams, loosing only to shaiikademy (2 of shaiikademy's 3 wins come from beating enterprise and chiefs. They then lost to a bunch of worse teams and missed playoffs). Remember, Oceania has 2 slots so Chiefs just have to win 2 bo3s. Its looking very likely they make EWC.
You might expect Enterprise to return from a top 8 finish and obliterate the entire league, but they've looked slightly rocky this stage. They lost in regulation to both Shaiikademy and Chiefs, playing with a sub against Shaiikademy. Dont get me wrong, they are very likely to make EWC but not as securely as, say, Weibo who actually have returned from SLC and obliterated their league.
Man LFO have been floating around top 3-4 for a while now, and theyre looking to finally break through that barrier. 4th in stage 2 last year, 2nd in si open quals, 3rd in kickoff. They go into playoffs with nothing to loose and everything to gain, and i wouldnt write them off to finally make it to lan this stage.
Rival is a new team with some familar faces. International viewers will probably recognise Wettables and oce fans will know Chefjeff, both now on the same team. They had a very dissapointing start to the stage, playing chiefs, enterprise and man lfo and loosing all of them in regulation. Wettables said in an interview, they made some changes in the team and bounced back from a dire position, winning 5 regulation games in a row. Theyll have to prove they can get it done against a top team if they want to make it to lan.
Group stage head to head:
Enterprise < Chiefs
Enterprise > Man LFO
Enterprise > Rival
Chiefs > Man LFO
Chiefs > Rival
Man LFO > Rival
Are my eyes deceiving? How on earth LOUD became the first team to take down Faze in this season, not w7m, not LIQUID, not Furia but the team that couldnt even make it to the playoffs in the kickoff
Just an org merger
Nothing for POZY, until the very end. Both teams were grouped so this match was meaningless, but at least 4AM don't struggle against the worst of the league. MVP: LyDA
Nighthaven Labs (POZY): 4AM 7-2 POZY
Fortress (4AM): 4AM 7-2 POZY
Border: Not played

Why does Kyno continue to call Shopify “SQ” ? Odd
Heartbreak. Titan start out electric with Arcox frying Leviatán on Clubhouse to take a promising 7-2 map victory on the favourites pick. So much hope was in the air, but Lair was a tale of frustrating last second losses. Clutches and 1v1s all went in favour of the Beast and took all the wind from the heroes sails, as they went down 0-6. Two defenses were found, but it was still dire as they now needed to win Kafe 7-3 or better to beat out One Coin on round differential. It seemed doomed as they dropped all three in a row and were left with no wiggle room. A fourth attacking win to end the half sealed their fate. But despite that, they wanted their dignity and pushed the mighty Leviathan to overtime and win the series. Shadow finished on 17 kills and Rusher on a whopping 19 in this barn burner to earn the MVP. Titan finish on 11 points and -19 round differential, missing playoffs by two round wins.
Clubhouse (LEV): TEC 7-2 LEV
Lair (TEC): TEC 2-7 LEV
Kafe Dostoyevsky: TEC 8-6 LEV

I feel like he's a classy Callington kinda guy, but I could see him liking a Sacramento or even an Accent to be honest.
6-3 up and then you keep selling every single round. Can I not win money this week
I love how two of the most hated people in Pro League have had insane stages, and I can’t lie it does make me happy to see them doing good. Alem4o was always great on his old role but I think he always had trouble making the IGL role HIS, but now between Ramalho helping him and the meta in general letting him play more loose he has been on one.
Ashn is competent on the other roles, but playing with Savage who lets him frag out has been a treat. He has such great game sense and watching him take engagements it borderline looks like ranked sometimes. M80 built a reputation for extremely precise executes but when you break down their roster they have so many nasty gunners. When your least mechanically crazy player besides Savage is Gunnar the BO5 kill record holder it’s no surprise that they look so good.
