EPT Season 24 Playoffs Stage set following exciting Groups
It’s been a wild ride for Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) esports fans at ESL Pro League Season 24, with 16 teams getting whittled down to just eight for the Playoffs Stage.
This weekend, top-tier CS2 esports returns to the iconic Spodek Arena in Katowice, Poland, with the final eight teams duking it out for their share of a huge prize pool.
Many upsets have already occurred, including NAVI getting eliminated by PARIVISION with a reverse-sweep comeback, and G2 Esports eating dirt with a 1-3 record in the Swiss Stage. Even the likes of Team Spirit were a bit wobbly, making it through with a 3-2 record. At the top of the pack with 3-0 records are MOUZ and Team Vitality.
The teams will fight through a single-elimination bracket, where all matches are best-of-three, except for the Grand Final, which is best-of-five. The teams will compete on stage in front of a crowd. CS2 esports fans can watch all the top-tier ESL Pro League Season 24 matches live via the official ESL_CSGO Twitch channel.
