Twelve teams, including eight regional qualifiers, are competing this week in the $1 million ESL One Bangkok tournament. The group stage (running Monday through Wednesday) splits teams into two round-robin groups of six, where all series consist of two games.
The top two teams from each group advance to the upper bracket of the playoffs. The third- and fourth-place teams from each group will move into the lower bracket and the other teams will be eliminated. The double-elimination playoff bracket features best-of-three matches except for Sunday’s grand final, which is best-of-five.
On Tuesday, PARIVISION posted a 42-minute win on red and 33-minute victory on green to dispatch Liquid before securing a 37-minute win on red and 33-minute victory on green versus Gaozu.
BetBoom Team kept on PARIVISION’s heels with a 51-minute triumph on green versus beastcoast before taking the second map. In Group A, Falcons remained in first place with a 28-minute win on red and 33-minute victory on green against Shopify Rebellion.
