Team Liquid’s perfect 4-0 regular-season record and dominant map differential have positioned the squad as the frontrunner for a top-two finish and upper-bracket bye, reflecting strong recent form heading into the final weeks of the single round-robin. Sentinels’ climb to second place with back-to-back sweeps has tightened the race for playoff seeding, while LYON, Cloud9, and Shopify Rebellion remain in contention at 3-1. With Week 6 and 7 matches still to play, head-to-head results and map wins will determine bracket placement ahead of the September 12 double-elimination playoffs. The top six advance to best-of-five series, where consistent drafting, momentum, and adaptation under Fearless rules will shape which teams reach the October Grand Final.
