And then there were 12.
The Bali Major playoffs kick off in earnest after a grueling group stage. The remaining teams battle for the coveted championship — as well as a potential invite to The International 12 in October.
What are the Bali Major playoffs?

The playoffs — separated into the upper and lower bracket — see teams playing each other in best-of-threes. If an upper bracket team loses, they drop to the lower bracket and get a second chance. If a lower bracket team loses, they are eliminated from the tournament.
This is the last chance to secure DPC points — 3,500, to be exact. With six slots still up for grabs — and more being secured by the day — teams will be hoping to secure their TI12 tickets right here and now, instead of going through the Regional Qualifiers gauntlet.
All eyes will be on Gaimin Gladiators — already one of history’s most dominant teams — gunning for a third consecutive Major championship.
