It was known that the playoffs are divided into an upper and lower bracket with teams competing in best-of-three matches. The teams that lose in the upper bracket are not immediately eliminated but are instead elevated to the lower bracket for a second chance. However, a loss in the lower bracket meant the elimination of the tournament. The structure is however dynamic as teams compete for the prestigious championship and share a $15 million prize pool on offer. The stakes are therefore high as the Riyadh Masters is not only a chance to claim a significant portion of the prize money but also portrays the power and strength before the International 12.
