Liquid and OG rematch in Elite League Season 2 playoffs will be on new patch

The Elite League Season 2 playoffs are set to begin in the upper brackets tomorrow with the new patch.  

The Elite League Season 2 will finally enter the playoff stage. The action will begin in the upper brackets with a rematch between Team Liquid and OG. 

OG bested Liquid 2:1 in the Round Robin Stage, demolishing them in the first game and then stunned fans with an incredible team-wipe to turn the third game around to take the series. 

It's always fun to watch these two go head-to-head, but to make things even more fun, the series will be played on the newly dropped patch.

The patch mainly brings changes to heroes and not a lot of changes to gameplay, but who knows what we will see! Neither of these teams is afraid to experiment or go with unorthodox builds or hero-laning setups – we still haven't forgiven Boxxi for the Morphling Position 4 influx. 

The action will begin tomorrow with two Upper-Bracket series.

The two Lower Bracket Round 1 elimination series – one featuring beastcoast, the hometown heroes hopefuls, will take place afterwards.
