The bracket for the ESL Pro League playoffs on Saturday and Sunday. The icons aren't all correct, but the team names are.Credit: ESL 。SK Gaming and Ninjas in Pyjamas are two of the best teams at the moment -- SK Gaming is the reining Major champion and the Pro League Season 3 winner, while Ninjas in Pyjamas has been performing well in recent tournament and took first place at StarSeries Season 2. 。
Thanks for signing up!。
One of the better match-ups in the playoffs will be Ninjas in Pyjamas vs. SK Gaming in the semifinals -- as long as Ninjas in Pyjamas can beat Team EnVyUs. It wouldn't be a surprise to see either NiP or SK heading to the grand finals. 。
The other three teams in the playoffs haven't seen much recent success in international tournaments. Cloud9 played well in the online season, but the team doesn't usually perform that well at LAN events. In front of Cloud9 are OpTic Gaming and possibly Mousesports, which aren't known for their LAN play either, so C9 could feasibly end up in the finals.。SEE ALSO:Inside ESL One New York 。
ESL Pro League Season 4 started with 28 teams that competed in nine weeks of online play. Twelve teams qualified for the finals in Brazil, with Fnatic and Cloud9 finishing the online season in first place in Europe and North America respectively. Fnatic was not able to attend the finals because player Dennis "Dennis" Edman was unable to participate due to personal reasons. 。
