PARIVISION off to strong start in Group Stage 2 at DreamLeague Season 24

PARIVISION and Team Falcons cruised to 2-0 sweeps on Saturday in Group Stage 2 action at the DreamLeague Season 24 event.

A 28-minute victory and a 41-minute victory -- with both coming on red -- sent PARIVISION past Team Waska, while Team Falcons prevailed in 33 minutes on red and in 44 minutes on green to defeat Team Liquid.

Group Stage 1 featured two groups competing in single round-robin play, with all matches consisting of two games. Action ran through Wednesday, and the top four teams from each group moved on to Group Stage 2.

The eight teams that advanced to Group Stage 2 are playing each other in a lone round-robin group. All matches are best-of-three, and the two best squads will land in the upper bracket of the playoffs, the third- and fourth-place teams will head to the lower bracket of the playoffs and the remaining four teams will be eliminated.

Group Stage 2 began Friday and runs through Thursday.

The playoffs, which start Nov. 9, will feature a double-elimination bracket. All matches are best-of-three aside from the best-of-five grand final on Nov. 10. The winner will take home $300,000 of the $1 million prize pool.
