Dota 2 Sixteen Teams

The sixteen teams are split up into four groups of four, and each team plays one game against everyone in their group. The results of the group stage will populate the winners and losers bracket. The two teams in each group with the best won/loss record in the group stage advance to the winners bracket. The two teams with the worst won/loss record in the group stage are placed in the losers bracket. Ties at the conclusion of the group stage will be broken by total match time for their wins (lower is better).
