DENMARK – The first-round matches for the VCT Masters Copenhagen Playoffs have been drawn, seeing the four top-seeded teams paired up against the four teams who advanced from the group stage. The first day of the playoffs is packed with action as two best-of-three matches will take place starting at 11 PM SGT. 

We could witness a familiar matchup in the opening round between XSET and OpTic if the Reykjavik champions win their decider versus KRÜ Esports. Leviatán will lock horns with Korea’s DRX, while Jake “Boaster” Howlett’s Fnatic will tackle the winner of FunPlus Phoenix and NORTHEPTION. The last eight-stage will also feature an interesting matchup between Paper Rex and Guild Esports.
