Seed 1 • Two wins and a Finals bye
PTB earned the cleanest route through the group with depth across the ranking ladder. 
LittleReaper #20 · G5 and 
Neutrophil #9 · G3 are both 5–1 in credited maps, 
ChienPwn #38 · G10 is 4–0, 
MvonLipwig #37 · G10 is 3–1, and 
SaraNghae and 
Dpoo are each 2–0.
Darkblade #4 · G1’s debut against 
MedicJR #3 · G1 was a competitive 1–1 split—not a sweep. 
AntoineQ #6 · G2, 
RegreT, 
Infestor-x, and 
Pebble each sit at 0–2, leaving clear opportunities to reset and contribute when the Finals arrive.
Outlook: The bye is a major advantage, but the long pause also makes preparation and keeping everyone engaged especially important.
Seed 2 • Living by the Ace
PSIOP’s record does not fully capture how competitive they have been. Their two victories both came under maximum pressure, with 
Crankytoaster #18 · G5 and 
BeanTheBard #43 · G11 closing the deciding games.
Crankytoaster is 6–1 overall, including a 2v2 sweep and the Ace over 
GreatArchon #19 · G5. BeanTheBard is 5–2 and answered an 0–2 slot against 
SgtABC by winning the Ace rematch. MedicJR #3 · G1 is 2–4: two 1–1 splits against near-top board opponents, followed by a 0–2 against 
Chat-Omic #2 · G1.
HurtnTime’s 1v1 results have been difficult, but the 2–0 Week 4 team win with Crankytoaster mattered. 
LanixMagi also responded to an early loss with later production. Those are useful signs entering the semifinal.
Seed 3 • Elimination week
ASH have a strong top end and have stayed within one map of the #2 seed. 
SunnyD #29 · G8 is 7–1 overall and perfect at 6–0 in 1v1. Chat-Omic #2 · G1 is 5–1, and 
FRost #11 · G3 opened with a 2–0 over 
Freeedom before the later forfeit.
GreatArchon #19 · G5 is 3–6 overall when the Week 1 2v2 split is included, rather than winless. His heavy schedule has included several high-leverage slots and the Week 5 Ace. 
Pacha is 1–7 overall, with the shared 2v2 map showing that even a rough individual stretch can still include team value.
Week 6 is a fresh, self-contained opportunity. ASH do not need to repair the whole season at once; they need one solid series against ST.
Seed 4 • A dangerous small sample
ST are still only one win from the semifinal. 
HyperTurtle #36 · G9 is 3–1, 
Parkanian #39 · G10 is 2–2, and SgtABC went 2–0 before dropping the one-map Ace rematch. 
DarkMenace #1 · G1’s only appearance was a 1–1 split with MedicJR #3 · G1, so the #1-ranked player remains barely sampled.
sOs #10 · G3 and 
SCVSir took a difficult 0–2 in Week 4’s 2v2, while 
Fenrir’s 0–2 is a credited no-show forfeit rather than games played. Those distinctions matter when evaluating the roster fairly.
The standings say fourth seed; the map margin says the team has been close. A cleaner availability night and a few converted splits could change the bracket quickly.
