insomnia59: The Elimination Brackets (LIVE)

521

Insomnia59 is trialling out a new bracket system for this LAN. It’s a creation of Jon “ViciousHorizon” Kelly, so no-one really knew what to expect how it’d potentially work. Time for a quick explanation of the bracket system.

Eight Groups of Six Round Robin	First Round Bo3 Single-Elimination Knockout Winners to Next Bracket Losers to Intermediates	Second Round Bo3 Double Elimination Winners to Upper Bracket Losers to Lower Bracket	Third Round Bo3 Upper Bracket
Top 3 to Brackets Bottom 3 to Intermediates			Bo3 Lower Bracket

That’s the format until the final, which is a Bo5 Format. The two UK Masters teams, FM-eSports and Endpoint, enter the tournament in the third round.

So now you’re all up to speed with the “Jon Kelly Special”, let’s get to recapping the first the brackets. This will be updated over LAN to include all scores from each round, so keep an eye on this and Social Media for updates.
