ESL Pro League Season 16 organizers have changed the playoff seeding format
Tournament operator ESL has updated the seeding format for the first round of the ESL Pro League Season 16 playoffs, according to a well-known analyst and commentator SPUNJ, who is currently covering the championship.
The draw for the ESL Pro League Season 16 playoff bracket will be broadcast live tomorrow after the end of all matches.
As a result of the changes, the organizers will randomly determine pairs of the first round of the ESL Pro League Season 16 playoffs. Thus, ESL will almost certainly manage to get rid of the NAVI-FaZe Clan pair at such an early stage of the event.
Recall that, according to the early rules, a separate slot was attached to the representatives of each group in the first round of the playoffs, thereby the participants could recognize their opponents in advance. Now the organizers will draw the starting matches live.
Earlier, ten teams were guaranteed to qualify for the ESL Pro League Season 16 playoffs, including NAVI, Cloud9, G2 Esports and FaZe Clan. The remaining two slots are claimed by FURIA, Team Liquid, Evil Geniuses and Eternal Fire.
