Interesting. So top 2 will at worst place 3rd in playoffs and 3-6th have to win 4 bo5 in a row in order to win the split. We get a guaranteed match between 1st and 2nd and we might end up with the same matchup in the final again. One more week and no more "pointless" 3rd place match, but probably only the finals outside berlin
Edit: The last 2 Games will be played in the same week. So we don't really know who plays in the final until the day before. First place has to prepare for both teams and winner of third round has only one day to prepare for the final
