Bracket for PGL Masters Bucharest Playoffs Set

The Swiss stage of PGL Masters Bucharest has concluded, with GamerLegion, Legacy, and Aurora winning their decisive 2–2 matches to claim the final spots in the playoffs. In total, eight teams advanced to the final stage, which will be played in a Single Elimination format.

The two teams that went 3–0 in groups — HEROIC and paiN — landed on opposite sides of the bracket. They will face GamerLegion and Legacy, respectively, in the quarterfinals. Two other pre-tournament favorites, Liquid and Aurora, also ended up separated. Liquid barely made it into the playoffs after edging out Astralis, who played without device, while Aurora are set to face B8, a team that has shown noticeable improvement since their captaincy change.

Liquid will meet SAW — marking only the second-ever encounter between the two lineups. Their previous match took place in March 2024 during BLAST Premier Spring Showdown.

Due to the condensed schedule, all quarterfinals and both semifinals will be played on Friday. Saturday will feature the third-place decider and the best-of-five grand final.
