After an intense four-day group stage, eight teams are now locked and loaded for the MSC 2023 knockout stage.
This phase adopts a single-elimination format, where losing in the quarterfinals leads to automatic elimination. Teams losing in the semifinals, however, will still have a chance to compete for third place.
Notable teams such as world champions ECHO, Blacklist International, and MPL ID powerhouses ONIC Esports and EVOS Legends made it out of the group stage.
Cambodian representatives BURN X Flash also secured a slot after a thrilling series against North America’s Outplay in their final series.
Among the three regions outside SEA, only Turkey’s Fire Flux Impunity has secured a spot by defeating Laos’ EVO Esports.
What is the MSC 2023 knockout stage?
The MSC 2023 knockout stage is the crucial second phase of the mid-season tournament.
The ultimate victor will claim the lion’s share of the US$300,000 prize pool and earn the title of the best MLBB team in the mid-2023 season.
All eight teams will compete in a single-elimination format.
Each match in the knockout stage, except for the grand final, will be decided in a best-of-five series. The stakes are even higher in the grand final, which will be an electrifying best-of-seven.
