Here the bracket: https://www.over.gg/event/187/open-division-season-2-playoffs-west-europe.
From the bottom to the top:
5th-8th : eSubaOW
The Czech top team went of the playoffs with the heads up: they archivied to take one map from the winner of the tournament (LFT OWL). This good results( reached after qualifing beating NyyRikki on last round of regular season) bring them a solid base on wich working over, ottr is the addition they needed: a 5 man solid roster + a really good player= succes.
5th-8th: Wizards eSports
Successfuly passing the tiebreak matches and with the advantage of being on fire they put on a great games against Copenhagen Flames( one of the big three with LFT OWL and Golden Sausage) taking away two maps from them.
Even if they change their roster ( with the leaves of their old carrier veteranjr) they managed to have a great results when needed.
5th-8th:Mkers
Taking one of the top 4 seed during regular season they managed to have against a team that they already stomped during the tournament: Epok Team. Unfortunatly in the italian clash , thanking the fact Epok roster were already warmed after the tiebreak (and this was an important factor also for the Wizards-Copenhagen close fight), they finished as beated ruining their dream of glory. They probably needs to find their identity, but when they will reach it they will ruled the europe: they have talent and experiences.
5th-8th:Samsung Morning Stars:
The qualificiation to the playoffs is an important result for this italian team. Confirm the fact they are improving a lot as a team: if they maintain this improvement condition wait them on top 4 in the next season. Golden Sausage was an hard opponent for them but they reached what they deserved. Promoted.
3rd-4th:Copenahgen Flames
After they domination of last months and after being undeafeat against Golden Sausage they fall off to the Tier 1,5 team disguise as T2 named LFT OWL. But they put up a great fight bring the match to Game 5 with passion and strenght. We dont know ( due to the lack of streams) if they were at their best conditions (they lose 2 maps to Wizards) but stay sure they will come back stronger than ever.
3rd-4th:Epok Team
The biggest surprise of the day come from another italian team who managed both to pass the tiebreak matches and their italian enemy Mkers. The team, who featured 3 of the 6 Italian national team member, has been stopped by the italian destroyer Golden Sausage, but they archieved more than no one expected from them.Surprise.
2nd:Golden Sausage
Finnaly to the top. Golden Sausage hardworked for months to reach this position. A team formed by old and new players thanks of a lot of constancy make a close fights in each maps. With a great regular season (only a match conceded) they were the jolly of the tourney but unfortunatly Veinless's boyz were on fire. They closed this season
saying goodbay to their main dps Nlaeer(who had find a great opportunity).Even if they lose you have to mark their name, cause they will be sure on the head of europe in a few time.
1st:LFT OWL
The machine of vitory has a name: LFT OWL. With the core of ex-Team Expert( Veinless Decod NexX), the most understimated support duo in the west( evojke and veinless) and with the return to oringis for the great ex-Movistar player Dante they come up undefeated without leaving a single match in all the tournament. On fire and ready to rule contenders this guys are absolutely to take under watch.

The only playoffs of the big three who had both upper and lower bracket( for the unlucky of 6 rinas boyz) excited( at least with live results cause no stream except for the finals thanks to this great boy: https://www.twitch.tv/tachyon) some of the most appasionated NA T2 fans( plus me). The three big clash( 6 rinas, Rockets eSports and Toronto Esports) with an uncertain final was something absolutely worthing to watch it.
The competitions between the big trhee starts during the semi-finals with 6 rinas stomping 3-0 Rockets eSports who risk the elimination in the lower bracket thanks to a close fight(3-2) with the outsider of the playoffs: The Savages. But with the 3-1 that Toronto eSports applied to 6 rinas during the Upper final Rockets had the opportunity to have the rematch with a solid 3-0 permorfance who bring them to the Grand Final against TO.
Unfortunatly for them the demoniac dps duo formed by nero and Dalton with the add of the korean god Panker brings to Canada the victory stomping yeHHH's boyz 4-0.
Final Standing:
1st:Toronto Esports
2nd:Rockets eSports
3rd:6 rinas
