Battlegrounds: Starcraft II Playoffs This Weekend

Well, it looks like eight StarCraft II Archon Mode teams for the Red Bull Battle Grounds Playoffs are locked. The six online-qualified duos will join two show match winners to battle LIVE at the Red Bull eSports Studio in Santa Monica this weekend.

These eight teams will begin the Playoffs with three “chances” in the unique Red Bull LIVES format. Competing teams will issue Best-of-Three challenges in qualifier-decided order, where the winning team of every challenge is awarded a bounty for each match won.

Losing a match means losing a life; losing all three lives means being eliminated from the competition.

The two teams to survive this three-day clash will be invited to the Red Bull Battle Grounds Grand Finals in Washington, D.C. on September 19 – interested? Buy tickets here

Watch the Playoffs here LIVE from August 28-30th @ 12PM PT.  Tickets and information, including where to watch the Playoffs, can be found here.
