Do you know if the elimination bracket is going to be purely best of 3, or will there be single-map matches as well? Also, are maps known for the bracket, or are they dependent on the group fixtures as well?

Sorry to bother with all of these questions!

EDIT: Also is there any info about the playoff for the last spot in the invite group, as mentioned in Admirable's article?

Most of the elimination will be best of 3 - it's probably only the first round that isn't right now, assuming we're running on time. It's a tight schedule but we can just about squash lots of BO3 action in. Maps for that haven't been set yet either, so tba until after groups are done.

The playoff idea was news to me - would love to see it happen :D needs to be done before 12 pm tomorrow though so not sure it's actually going to be physically possible.

That would mean matches would start at 3 AM British time, seems a bit unlikely.

Hello , this is a message to DavidTheWin :

I'm not sure whether or not you'll be the cameraman for all the streams, but please use the freecam the next time you are given the job of "cameraman" ..
I don't think we can call switching from one first person view to another a "camerawork" ..
A great example to follow : YOUTUBE

Thanks in advance, much appreciated

So when does i52 actually start? Apparently cbear said it starts at 5:30am on the stream tonight, if you go to the schedule it says "Dallas: 9am-5pm" and on the main i52 page it shows a countdown which says "0 days 11 hours 50 minutes and 7 seconds to go" which would mean i52 starts at like 3 PM CST. I'm just confused on what time the event actually starts since I've seen 3 different times.

I've already been on there and there are two different times for when i52 starts. There is the time on the schedule tab which says "Dallas: 9am-5pm" and then there is a countdown (which I am assuming is referring to when i52 goes live) that says "0 days 11 hours 36 minutes and 36 seconds to go" which would mean that i52 starts at 3 pm CST. I just wanna know what the official time is.

I've been dumb with the ticker. The schedule is correct.

Onv's an obnoxious cunt but I agree with the suggestion. Use free cam a bit because it's good to show the team positioning now and again.

freecam is hardly good for anything but the occasional midfight, where everyone has the potential to do something. not sure why you'd want a freecam on during a hold when you could be watching the pockets pov, an offclass play, roamer bomb etc. if you need to know the team positioning you can use the x-ray.
