The $200,000 iBUYPOWER Masters event will take place this weekend at the Avalon Theater Hollywood in Los Angeles.

The format remains unchanged from the previous iBUYPOWER Masters editions, with a best-of-one, double-elimination group stage with the top two teams in the groups playing in a single-elimination bracket, in which all matches will be best-of-three series. First place wins $100,000.

Liquid and Astralis are tipped as favourites in this tournament, however this event comes right after the player break which means that we could be in for some upsets as teams try to get back in to the swing of things.
