The first Major of the 2019-2020 Dota Pro Circuit is underway. The MDL Chengdu Major playoffs have begun, with 16 teams clashing in a double-elimination bracket.
The main event will be underway from 8pm CT on Nov. 17 until the champion is crowned in the early hours of Nov. 24.
Eight teams will start in the upper bracket. A loss here doesn’t mean game over, though, because the team will drop down to the lower bracket and get a second lease on life. Any team that loses in the lower bracket will say goodbye to their hopes of lifting the trophy and will be on the next flight home.
The first round of the bracket will be best-of-one matches. The grand finals will be a best-of-five series, and every other series will be a best-of-three.
Here are the main event results and matchups so far at the MDL Chengdu Major. The most recent day will appear at the top of the list.
