Slice League Locks Four Playoff Teams

Published September 22, 2026

Slice League has its four playoff teams for the September 26 finish. Kyviera Esport leads the final listed group table with 19 points, followed by Fenris Gaming on 16, TalentsLab on 15 and Slice Esports on 14. Those four positions advance from a ten-team online EMEA league into a double-elimination playoff. The first listed matchup has TalentsLab facing Slice Esports at 10:00 CEST, while the higher seeds enter later points of the bracket.

Kyviera’s first-place record is listed at 6-1-1 with a 21-6 set line and a +15 difference. Fenris follows at 5-1-2, with 17 sets won and 10 lost. TalentsLab’s 4-3-1 record produced an 18-9 set line, while Slice Esports reached fourth at 4-2-2 and 16-11. The point totals are close from second through fourth, but the bracket positions remain distinct. A one-point edge separates TalentsLab and Slice Esports before their opening playoff meeting.

The schedule gives the league winner the deepest initial placement. Kyviera is listed in the upper-bracket final at 11:30 CEST against an opponent to be determined. Fenris is listed in an upper-bracket semifinal at 10:45 CEST, also awaiting an opponent. TalentsLab and Slice Esports start at 10:00 CEST. This staggered entry translates the group table into a direct competitive reward: stronger league placement shortens the path required on playoff day.

What the standings earned

The four records show different ways into the playoff. Kyviera combined six wins with the strongest set difference, finishing four points above TalentsLab and five above Slice Esports. Fenris held second with 16 points, one above TalentsLab. TalentsLab’s +9 set difference exceeded Fenris’s +7 even though Fenris owned the higher points total. The ordering therefore follows league points, while the set lines offer extra context about how each team accumulated them.

TalentsLab versus Slice Esports is the only fully named opening matchup in the current September 26 schedule. Its winner moves into the upper-bracket route, and the double-elimination structure also creates a lower path during the day. Fenris and Kyviera can prepare around known entry times while waiting for the bracket to produce opponents. Those TBD labels are live bracket positions, so the names should be added only after the preceding results settle them.

Every playoff match is listed as Bo5xBo3. The grand final expands to Bo7xBo3, with the upper-bracket finalist receiving a one-set advantage. That advantage makes the upper path especially valuable: reaching the deciding match without dropping into the lower bracket changes the starting state of the final. A lower-bracket finalist can still win the title, but it begins the grand final one set behind under the published format.

The league carries a €1,000 prize pool. The listed playoff payouts are €425 for first, €225 for second, €120 for third and €90 for fourth. All four playoff teams have therefore reached the paid positions, while September 26 determines how those shares are assigned. The format connects the season-long group table to a compact final day, preserving an advantage for the strongest upper-bracket run.

The playoff-day picture

For viewers, the useful sequence begins with TalentsLab against Slice Esports at 10:00 CEST. Fenris’s listed upper semifinal follows at 10:45 CEST, and Kyviera’s upper final is listed at 11:30 CEST. Lower-bracket matches develop alongside that route, giving a team one recovery path after an upper-side defeat. The grand final then uses the longer seven-set ceiling and the one-set upper-bracket advantage.

For the four teams, the group stage has already done its sorting. Kyviera earned the top route through 19 points and a +15 set difference. Fenris, TalentsLab and Slice Esports occupy the next steps with only two points covering second through fourth. September 26 turns those margins into bracket position, then lets the double-elimination results decide the champion.

• Kyviera Esport enters from first place with 19 points and a +15 set difference.
• TalentsLab and Slice Esports open the listed playoff schedule at 10:00 CEST.
• The grand final is Bo7xBo3 with a one-set advantage for the upper-bracket finalist.

Slice League’s final group table has a clear top four and a bracket that rewards their order. Kyviera, Fenris, TalentsLab and Slice Esports carry their league positions into the September 26 double-elimination finish. The opening named match, later seeded entries and upper-bracket final advantage make the route as important as the final payout.
