ESL Pro League Season 17: What's interesting about the play-off stage of the tournament

Differences of the current EPL Season 17 playoff format from previous seasons
The increase in the number of regular tournament participants from ESL from 24 teams to 32 led to the need to expand the format. In the group stage, this was reduced to the introduction of Triple Elimination.

This is still a Single Elimination system, but this time, the teams ranked 3rd and 4th in their group will start at the Round of 16. In the previous seasons the play-offs started with Round of 12. All matches, except for the grand final, will be played as a bo3 series. And the ESL Pro League Season 17 champion will be decided by bo5 matches.
So in the battle in Round of 16 the following teams will start:
- Natus Vincere
- 00 Nations
- FURIA Esports
- Fnatic
- paiN Gaming
- Team Liquid
- G2 Esports
- Movistar Riders
The winners will advance to the Round of 12, where teams such as
- Outsiders
- FaZe Clan
- MOUZ
- ENCE
Group stage winners will go straight to the quarter finals:
- Heroic
- forZe
- Cloud9
- Team Vitality
NAVI have a long way to go to the triumph.
