To better understand the current Lima Major 2023 Playoffs bracket, it’s important to look back at the Group Stage. In Group A, most of the expected TI11 participants advanced to the Playoffs, but the bottom seeds of the standings surprised fans. PSG.LGD, one of the strongest Chinese teams and multi-TI finalists, did not perform as well without their star player Wang “Ame” Chunyu. Tundra Esports, the reigning TI11 Champions, barely made it to the Playoffs after losing every series against their past TI11 rivals, including Gaimin Gladiators, and PSG.LGD, Team Spirit, and Evil Geniuses. Many opponents have accused Tundra of using overpowered item builds, particularly the Wraith Pact, during TI11.
In Group B, the BetBoom Team had a strong start but ultimately fell off and was eliminated. The top seeds of the standings were Vici Gaming and Alliance, both of whom had a dominant performance throughout the Group Stage. Thunder Awaken, a team composed of ex-Thunder Predator and beastcoast players, also made it to the Playoffs after a tiebreaker match against Team Unique.
With the Group Stage now behind us, the Lima Major 2023 Playoffs bracket features some exciting matchups. The top two teams from each group will face off in the upper bracket, while the third and fourth seeds will battle in the lower bracket. The tournament promises to be full of surprises, and it will be interesting to see which team will ultimately come out on top.

Group B at the Lima Major 2023 saw a disappointing performance from the highly anticipated all-star team BetBoom, who quickly fell off after a strong start on the first day. Despite comprising high-profile players such as ex-Team Spirit midlaner Alexander “TORONTOTOKYO” Khertek, BetBoom struggled to secure wins and only managed to secure ties in their matches. This resulted in insufficient points to challenge for a tiebreaker, leading to their elimination from the tournament.
In a surprising turn of events, HellRaisers managed to snatch the final spot in the playoffs after a tiebreaker victory over Geek Slate. This was unexpected as HellRaisers were initially underestimated as a soon-to-be-eliminated team. Meanwhile, Geek Slate’s efforts were well respected, given that they are a relatively new Southeast Asian team that made their debut in a DPC Major.
Overall, the group stage of the Lima Major 2023 saw some unexpected outcomes, with TI11 participants PSG.LGD and Tundra Esports finished as the bottom seeds of Group A. The playoffs bracket is now set, with the remaining teams set to battle it out for the championship title.
