After a hectic and rather unpredictable four day Round-robin event during Phase Two of The International 2014, six teams have been eliminated as the remaining top ten split into two separate groups. Be warned, as major spoilers for the tournament lurk below.
At the end of Phase Two on September 12th 2014, Arrow Gaming, Na'Vi US, Fnatic, Team Empire, Alliance, and mousesports have all been eliminated from the tournament after failing to gain enough points to secure their survival. NewBee, LGD Gaming, and mousesports were all briefly locked in a Best-Of-Three head-to-head to decide which of their teams would be sent home once all three found themselves with a score of 7-8 after all matches had been played out. Ultimately, NewBee and LGD won out, moving them straight into the third and final phase of the Playoffs alongside Titan, Team Liquid, Cloud9, Na'Vi, Invictus Gaming, and Team DK.
ViCi Gaming and Evil Geniuses, who scored 12-3 and 11-4, respectively, will be skipping Phase Three all together and heading straight into the upper bracket of the main event, securing both teams a minimum of over $500,000 in prize money. On Sunday 13th and Monday 14th, Phase Three of the tournament will play out, after which two more teams will be eliminated before the remaining eight progress into either the upper or lower bracket of the main event at KeyArena on July 18th.
