Today's bracket includes four group-stage matches, two Swiss round 4 matches and two lower-bracket fixtures. The marquee matchup opens at 19:00 UTC with Skyline Five taking on Halberd in Group A — both teams are tied at the top of the group and the winner takes the seeding edge into the playoff.
The cross-region final seeding match at 20:30 UTC carries the first broadcast of patch 8.4 meta context. The Swiss round 4 pairings at 22:00 UTC will decide which teams carry a 3-1 record into the playoff and which drop to 2-2. The lower bracket reset path at 00:30 UTC closes the broadcast block.

Match questions
What new viewers ask about the match schedule
Plain-language answers to the questions the editorial desk hears most often from first-time viewers.
1
Why do some matches start at unusual hours?
Broadcast blocks follow regional prime time. European events typically start 18:00–22:00 CET; APAC events move to 19:00–23:00 JST; cross-region events stagger start times to share broadcast crews.
2
Where can I find the VOD after the match?
VODs are linked on each match card after the broadcast concludes, on the verified partner's channel. We do not host or embed unauthorized streams.
3
Why are Bo1s still in the schedule?
Swiss rounds use Bo1 to keep the round count high and the broadcast block dense. The format rewards consistency over a single map.
4
What's the difference between group stage and playoff?
Group stages sort teams into playoff seeds. Playoffs use single or double elimination to determine the tournament winner. The bracket explainer walks through each stage.

Reading the broadcast block before the broadcast starts
The broadcast block is the operational schedule for the day's matches. Each card on the match schedule carries a start time in UTC, the format (Bo1, Bo3, Bo5), the stage (group, playoff, final), the region and the editorial verification note attached to the lineup. Reading the broadcast block before the broadcast starts lets the viewer plan their day, set their regional filter and prepare for the round layout they are about to watch.
Bo1 rounds run fast. A Bo1 match takes roughly 30 to 45 minutes from the buy phase to the post-match interview, depending on the economy phase and the overtime scenario. Bo3 rounds run longer — typically 90 to 150 minutes across the full map series, with breaks between maps for caster analysis and player setup. Bo5 finals can run four hours end-to-end, especially when the map series extends to 3-2. Format choice dictates the broadcast block length.
Where the broadcast block stacks multiple matches back-to-back, the production crew uses the inter-match window to reset the caster desk, swap the on-air crew and prepare the next match's map veto. The viewer sees this as a 10-15 minute window between matches, with the VOD of the previous match replayed on the broadcast partner's secondary channel. The match schedule lists every match on the broadcast block with the start time in UTC, so the viewer can plan around the gaps.
Regional broadcast blocks follow prime time in the host region. European events typically start 18:00-22:00 CET. APAC events move to 19:00-23:00 JST. North American events run 16:00-22:00 EST. Cross-region events stagger start times to share broadcast crews across the major time zones. The regional filter on the match schedule scopes the broadcast block to the viewer's time zone, but the start times are always shown in UTC for editorial consistency.
For viewers who want to read the broadcast block in detail, the bracket explainer walks through every round layout with a worked example from week 38. The tournament index pairs with the match schedule to surface the format primer for each event. Together, the schedule, the bracket explainer and the tournament index are the operational map for the competitive circuit.

Reading the broadcast block before the broadcast starts
Each moment below sits on a verified source. The editorial desk flags matches because they reshape the bracket, not because they make for good television. The list updates after every round close.
1
The opening Bo3 of the broadcast block
Skyline Five vs Halberd — the Group A decider. The winner takes the seeding edge into the playoff; the loser drops to the second seed but keeps the upper bracket path. The map veto for game one sets the tone for the broadcast block.
2
The cross-region seeding match
Cobalt Crew vs Ironbrand — first broadcast of patch 8.4 context. The team that adapts fastest to the new agent select pool takes the seeding edge. The broadcast partner's caster desk will run the analysis live.
3
The Swiss round 4 pairings
Bo1 — every match decides a 3-1 or 2-2 record. The pairings re-pair teams with the same record after the previous round's results. The pairings update on the match schedule as soon as the league confirms them.
4
The lower bracket final
Bo5 — the underdog path narrows on the reset. The team that has survived elimination rounds meets the team that dropped from the upper bracket. The format primer explains the lower bracket reset rule in detail.
