Notes: You don't need to use a real email for challonge, FAF nor myself are going to store/use it for anything. The "TURBO2" field is a stand in for whomever wins the TURBO2 vs archsimkat tiebreaker.

Playoffs Schedule:

Saturday 13 UTC - TURBO vs archsimkat, sudden death tiebreaker
Saturday 14 UTC - Round of 8 starts, Semi-Finals to follow
Sunday 14 UTC - Bronze match starts, Finals to follow

Semi final players should wait for casters before beginning. All games are BO5 except finals which are BO7 and the sudden death tiebreaker which is BO1. Players have 3 vetoes each and use the same faction and map pick rules from group stage.

@femboy The goal is to get as many correct as you can, not incorrect.

@zlo The real big brain move is to predict your own loss to hedge your bets.
