Following the end of the group stage, which featured a double-elimination format, the top two sides from each of the four groups have sealed passage to the best-of-three, single-elimination playoffs.
The winner of the tournament will take home the lion's share of a $20,000 prize pool - the smallest in the history of the competition. Despite the cut, however, Dreamz Media has told HLTV.org that it plans to host its biggest league ever at the end of the year.
