Caseking King of Kings goes into the playoffs which start today. It will feature a four team single elimination bracket with the first match starting at 15.00 CET.
After the double-elimination group stage where we had eight teams splitted into two groups, only the top two of each could advance to the playoffs. In the group A, Epsilon made an upset in the opening match where they defeated Cloud9, however the North American team went through the lower bracket and consolidation match to secure their spot in the playoffs. The new roster of Ninjas in Pyjamas had its debut and they were pretty confident making it 2-0 and taking the first place in the groups. Planetkey Dynamics were down at the bottom of the group A with 0-2 score.
Group b also had an upset. The French team, Titan was left at the bottom of this group with the score of 0-2. They started the campaign with a loss against mousesports, after which Virtus.pro sealed their place in this tournament with a 2-0 in their Bo3. However, the first map of Titan and Virtus.pro was probably the best one which could be seen during the group stage. We could see some nice comebacks and a triple overtime on de_cache where in the end the Polish team came out on the top. London Conspiracy had a nice match against Virtus.pro where they managed to beat them on de_overpass, however VP quickly took a revenge and secured the second spot in the group.
