Sunshine Cup powered by serveme.tf: Knockout Stages and Prizes

This is what all of you have been waiting for: The Sunshine Cup Knock-out Stages!
The part where the teams will give each other a run for their prizes!

Each bracket has its own ‘mini-tournament’, starting at Sunday 18th of January 19:30CET with the round of 8. The semi-finals are going to be played at 20:30CET, leaving the grand finals to be played at 21:30CET.

The schedule is rather tight, so please submit your match results as soon as you’re done with a match! Matches without results will be decided by coin flip at the start of the next round.

Just a quick reminder for every team (especially the newer ones):

We encourage using the match comments to keep in touch with an opponent. Any agreement between two teams regarding the use of mercs or servers must be recorded on the relevant match page.
If anything requires verification it MUST be documented either by a screenshot of the original conversation or by leaders from both teams providing confirmation in the match comments (the latter is more optimal because screenshots can easily be faked).

The tournament trees for various brackets aswell as prizes and casts can be looked up below.

These brackets will also be listed in the Sunshine Cup powered by serveme.tf Home hubpage
