Masters London viewer guide: how to read the lower bracket on June 14
Masters London's lower bracket begins on June 14, and teams can no longer hide slow adaptation behind another chance.
In the lower bracket, the winner is not the flashiest team, but the one that repairs the map fastest after a mistake.
Who plays Lower Round 1
On June 14, Masters London moves into the lower bracket: LEVIATÁN face Team Heretics, and G2 Esports play FUT Esports. At preparation time, VLR lists both matches as upcoming, so no score is published in advance.
The lower bracket changes the approach: teams no longer have the right to adapt slowly after map one.
How teams should prepare
First, simplify veto. In elimination matches, two reliable maps beat four raw ideas. Second, script pistol and anti-eco plans because early economy often decides the series.
Third, prepare a response to losing map one. A team that keeps structure after 0:1 still has a chance to reverse the series.
What viewers should watch
Watch first contacts, retake quality and post-plant structure. In the lower bracket, it is easy to see who can slow down after chaos and who keeps donating duels.
G2 vs FUT is interesting because both teams already took painful upper-bracket hits. LEVIATÁN vs Heretics tests who fixes their 0:2 problems faster.
