Sixteen teams entered the PGL Cluj-Napoca tournament, but only eight made it to the playoffs. If we think about surprises of the Swiss Stage, there are two of them. Both Virtus.pro and MiBR were eliminated. The Brazilian team even changed their roster for the future tournaments as current results were quite disappointing. The Bears weren't lucky in the decider match as they had to fight MOUZ, the strongest team out of 2-2 bracket.
But let's move to the playoffs. The format is simple: single elimination bracket but we also have the match for the third place. Considering that all matches are best-of-3, it is an okay decision to keep the live audience in the arena satisfied. Here is the bracket:
