The playoffs bracket for the Clavision Snow Ruyi Dota 2 Invitational is set after the conclusion of the group stage.

Notably, no teams were eliminated from the group stage with the top teams (1st place team from each group) advancing directly to the upper bracket semi-finals whilst 2nd-3rd place teams start in the upper bracket quarterfinals. The bottom-rung teams start in the lower bracket.

Here’s a quick recap of how the group stage unfolded:

Group A: The reigning TI champions top their group in a dominating fashion, losing only to Virtus Pro in a full three-game series. Their CIS compatriots, NAVI, follow them in second place whereas LGD Gaming stands third. Virtus Pro and Team Zero languished at the bottom of the table.
Group B: After a disastrous Riyadh Masters campaign, G2.iG has shown remarkable improvement, dominating their group and emerging as the frontrunners for the Chinese teams. Surprisingly, Nigma Galaxy is second, followed by Xtreme Gaming, in 2nd and 3rd place, respectively. Azure Ray and Talon Esports are backbenchers in this lot.

Clavision Snow Ruyi Playoffs Bracket

The playoffs bracket is set. Let’s take a look at the bracket:

Nigma Galaxy faces LGD Gaming in the first series of the upper bracket quarterfinals. It’ll be interesting to witness the battle between the two erstwhile giants, who were once at the epitome of competitive Dota but are now merely a shadow of their former selves.
NAVI faces Xtreme Gaming in the second series of the upper bracket quarterfinals. It’ll be an uphill battle for the Eastern Europe team to go against arguably the best Chinese Dota 2 team. Who will win the David vs. Goliath battle?
Virtus Pro faces Talon Esports in the first series of the lower bracket. Both teams are on tenterhooks with poor performances across the board. The loser faces elimination while the winner will advance to the next elimination series.
The newly formed roster of Azure Ray faces the dark horse winner of the TI13 Chinese regional qualifiers. It’ll be a daunting task for AR to overcome Team Zero.
Team Spirit and G2.iG directly advance to the upper bracket semi-finals where they await the winner between Nigma Galaxy/LGD Gaming and NAVI/XG, respectively.
