M88 Open League S2: Group Stage 2 preview
The first group stage of the M88 Mansion - Open League Season 2 concluded last week, locking in four playoffs candidates. Finishing in second place after winning six out of their eight matches, Gods Reign are the only Indian team to clear group stage 1 and book a playoffs spot.
For the most part VICTORES SUMUS looked comfortable to secure a top four finish but faltered towards the end, falling just a single win short of finishing in the top four. Group stage 2 is currently open for registrations and is just ten days away (23rd October 2024).
Teams from Vietnam, Thailand, Korea, India, Malaysia and Japan can register for the second group stage. Group stage 2 will start out in a Swiss bracket format, giving teams two matches per week over the course of four weeks.
A top four finish in the group stage will confirm a playoffs spot. The playoffs will begin on 23rd November 2024 with eight teams locking horns in a single-elimination bracket to fight for the lion's share of the $10,000 USD prize pool.
