After last Sunday's GEST group phase, the playoff dates were not yet announced. Now it's clear: Round of 8 will be on Tuesday, final on Thursday.

The playoff dates and the grid for GEST Dota 2 have been announced. On Tuesday, 13 November, the round of 8 will be played, where the group winners Zenith, Orange, MUFC and Natural 9 face the runner-ups of the groups.

On Wednesday, the semi finals will be happening, while the final will be played on Thursday, 15 November. About the second Chinese team next to LGD which await the two finalists, there is also new news. Originally it should have been iG, now DK is the tournament's favorite. Still, even DK has yet to confirm the participation in the 4-team mini tournament after GEST Dota 2.

The playoffs of GEST will be casted by LD and GoDz again, with them casting solo in the round of 8, where the schedule overlaps games and together from the semi final onwards.
