StarLadder has announced the opening matchups and bracket for Stake Ranked Episode 3, a $100,000 LAN in Barcelona, Spain, scheduled to take place from July 15-18.
Reigning Stake Ranked champions Ninjas in Pyjamas will be looking for redemption after a rough start to life with temporary academy promotee Roman "n0te" Hamze at XSE Pro League Guangzhou, where the team exited in the Swiss group stage with a 1-3 record.
Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer's men will face K27 in their opener, with their side of the bracket also seeing a Antonio "MartinezSa" Martinez-less Gentle Mates take on Wildcard.
The Spanish sniper wil make his debut for his new team, HEROIC, alongside Ludvig "Brollan" Brolin on the opposite side of the bracket against 3DMAX, while paiN and Phantom face off in the other fixture.
The tournament will utilize a double-elimination, best-of-three bracket until the grand final, which will be a best-of-five. The complete bracket can be found on our event page, and the schedule for the opening matchups is as follows:
