The playoffs stage of It's Gosu Monthly Madness is finally upon us with the conclusion of their qualifier stages in which four teams will pit themselves against twelve other invited teams for the cash prize of $1,000.

The first qualifier saw relatively unknown teams,

Water and

Darer and

Infused but they managed to regroup to take the top of the second qualifier in order to secure the final spots available in the round of 16.

The list of teams in the playoffs are:

Natus Vincere

Evil Geniuses

Dignitas

Counter Logic Gaming

Mousesports

Absolute Legends

mTw

Quantic

NEXT.kz

Western Wolves

Team Infused

The tournament will be played out in a best-of-three single elimination format with a best-of-five grand final. The winner will be keeping the whole cash prize to themselves.

The first game between

Team Dignitas and

mTw will begin on the 1st of March at 19:00 CET. You can always follow us on our matchtickers for the latest scheduling of the tournament. All the games will be shoutcasted by Starcraft 2 turned Dota 2 caster,

The boycott only applies to M5, and this is not M5 hosting the tournament...

For Ayesee being a starcraft 2 caster, he is doing a really good job casting DotA2 ;) my favorite caster after Tobi.
looking forward to all the games, especially coL vs Darer... I hope coL will win, and Darer will be a lesson given! :D

its gonna be a whopper!!
lots of interesting matches in the first round definetely...
aL vs Water...looking to see how Water performs.
Dignitas vs mTw...looking to see how Synd and the "new gang" are doing after a while away from official matches to see if they regained their composure
coL vs Darer...obviously being the most anticipated game, to see if artstyle + 4 will be able to stand up to one of the top teams of the moment and stake a claim to all the spotlight they've been hogging
MOUZ vs CLG ... not a flashy game but still hoping for a very good game MOUZ never lets down the spectators.
NEXT.kz vs EG... personally I always feel like NEXT.kz can surprise even the topdogs every now and then...lets see how EG is doing....they got quantic matchup first...and then this...lets see how they react after a tough beating from Na'Vi

Sadly the Darer team is not in it's best shape, judging by it's last matches (loosing to some no-name teams), so I don't think that they even have a chance against CoL in this particular tournament...

since EG got danish flag with majority of their player from sweden, i think you should do same with mTw (3 from SE)

on topic:

gratz to all who made it! let the best win!
