The group stages are over and bracket play is well underway at Insomnia 65. With several big names within the UKCS scene all in contention,
Insomnia64 finished on Monday afternoon, and after four days of competition we saw London Esports crowned the tournament champion. In a slightly delayed release (somehow I managed to pull my back closing my garden gate yesterday morning), here is the full final standings post for the event.
After four days, the end of LAN is here. The insomnia64 Grand Final between London Esports and DarkSpawn Gaming. The two teams face off for the lion’s share of the £6,250 prize pool.
EFLGG is proud to announce they are working with the British Armed Forces at Insomnia 64 alongside House of Gamers.
With the huge £30k prize pool up for grabs at i63, the top 16 teams at the tournament are awarded prize money. This means the intermediate tournament is more competitive than ever with £1,250 being awarded to the winning team. On Saturday, the Intermediate tournament consisted of 5 rounds of matches in a Swiss format followed by bracket play on Sunday.

As teams need four wins in the group stage to secure their place in the playoff bracket, this is the first round that teams can confirm their place.

In this stage Business 5, Team Unique and Fnatic Academy won their matches meaning those teams are 4-0 and in the playoff bracket.
