GosuGamers are happy to announce that the SteelSeries HoN World Cup playoffs will kick off on October 18.
Update: Rounds for Winner Bracket Round 2 and Loser Bracket Round 1 have been updated.
Update 2: Rounds for Winner Bracket Round 3 and Loser Bracket Round 2 have been updated.
Update 3: Loser Bracket Round 2 times have been standardized to fit both teams.
After a gruesome qualifier and a quick group stage weekend, GosuGamers are proud to present the playoffs of the SteelSeries HoN World Cup with $40,000 USD on the line.
Top-ranked teams such as Evil Geniuses, KD-Gaming, Team.Team, Deal With it, DuskBin, Dotally Rad, FnaticMSI and TS-Gaming will be battling against scene newcomers from around the world in the double elimination tournament tree.
Following up from a pretty strict group stage schedule system, the playoffs will be more flexible. Each winner bracket round has a time span over a week, while the loser bracket is set to half a week. Teams will, within that time span, be able to reschedule their matches (with 24 hours notice to admins) to suit the best possible time for both teams. Should the teams however not find a time that fit both, the default time set by GosuGamers will apply.
The tournament will reach its ending phase at the end of November. Due to DreamHack Winter 2010 occurring at that time, we will try to be as flexible as possible for the finals and bronze match.

The tournament bracket was created based on our GosuGamers rankings.
