Frankfurt Major brackets
While the seeding for the brackets were determined, ESL have also revealed the match ups. Oddly enough, teams from the same group have been placed on the same side of bracket, resulting in rematches.
@BTSGoDz yeap, Vega and VP were actually trying to tell this to admins. This is really bad cause both in WB and LB well see same matches
