For those unaware, the CN League 2026 Kickoff Playoffs will work slighly differently to the format seen in Europe and MENA, North America, and South America. In China, the eight remaining teams after the conclusion of the group stage are all placed in the Upper Bracket. Therefore, regardless of their group stage performance, all teams will have two chances in the playoffs as a defeat will push them to the Lower Bracket.
Here's a look at how the CN League 2026 Kickoff Playoff bracket currently looks like:
- April 18 (8 AM CEST): All Gamers vs. Wolves Esports
- April 18 (11:30 AM CEST): One Coin vs. Four Angry Men
- April 19 (8 AM CEST): KINGZERO eSports vs. TYLOO
- April 19 (11:30 AM CEST): My Queen vs. EDward Gaming
Based on what we have seen in the group stage, it's very likely that, on April 18, All Gamers and Four Angry Men end up facing off at 3 PM CEST as the winner will qualify for the BLAST R6 Major Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, on April 19, Group B's winner EDward Gaming will likely face off against the winner of the match between KINGZERO eSports and Y.
