A few words about the principles of the playoff draw.
1. In the 1/16 round, the first-place players play against the fourth-place players, and the second-place players play against the third-place players.
2. All players from the same group in the 1/16 round will face players from another group. That is, all players from group Y play against players from group Z, all players from group X play against players from group G, and so on.
3. Therefore, players from the same group have a chance to meet in the playoffs no earlier than the 1/4 final.
4. Players who took the same places in the groups (for example, first place) have a chance to meet in the playoffs no earlier than the 1/4 final.
5. As a reminder, all matches in the playoffs are BO3, and the final is BO5.
The draw is scheduled for June 12th after 16:00 Moscow time. If anyone wants to stream it, please write to me, and we will agree on the exact time.
