With this being the case, and building upon yesterday's report, we now know the confirmed Playoffs bracket and what to expect from the final five matches of the ongoing tournament.

To this end, you can see the bracket and the coming fixtures below, with the additional note that the two teams who were eliminated in the final moments of the Group Stage yesterday were both Furia and Team Spirit.
