The biggest news from the week comes on the professional side of things, with the NA and EMEA playoffs.
In NA, the teams have been decided. Sentinels, the Masters 2 champions, won the playoffs, facing 100 Thieves in the championship game.
Joining 100T and Sentinels will be Envy, making their first appearance at a LAN event with a greatly improved roster.

EMEA Challengers 3 Playoffs continue
In the EMEA playoffs, things are a lot more spread out than they were in NA.
The EMEA playoffs will take two weeks to finish when it's all said and done, but we already have two Masters 3 teams confirmed.
Acend and SuperMassive Blaze booked their tickets to Berlin for Masters 3, as Gambit, forZe, Liquid, Guild, G2, and Giants continue to fight for the last two spots.
