One workforce was then randomly chosen from every pot to create what needs to be 5 equally matched teams.

Video games 81 and 82 can be added in December; that is the place issues get difficult.

Groups that do not make the knockout stage can be assigned two video games in opposition to different non-knockout qualifiers, and people would be the lacking two video games on their schedules.

For the eight groups that make the knockout stage, the quarterfinal sport turns into the 81st sport added to their schedule. Quarterfinal losers – two from the East, two from the West – will play one another, and that´ll be the 82nd sport on their schedules. Semifinalists – once more, two from the East, two from the West – will play, and that sport turns into the 82nd sport on their schedules.

Meaning the championship sport can be considered one of 83 video games on the schedule for the final two groups standing. And because the season is 82 video games, that sport gained´t depend within the standings, nor will the stats depend for something. They´ll be enjoying for cash and the trophy.
