The offline playoffs for the streamer tournament LTK Season: Pandemonium start June 20 at TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO. Four teams of 15 players each compete in a three-tier system (MASTERS, NEXT, CORE) with a special BO4 point system that rewards strategic tier deployment.

The offline playoffs for LTK Season: Pandemonium begin June 20 at TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO. Four teams of 15 players each compete in a three-tier system: MASTERS for advanced and former pro-level players, NEXT, and CORE. The special BO4 point system awards 1 point for Games 1 and 2, 2 points for Game 3, and a Game 4 only if the score is tied. The tier that plays Game 3 cannot play Game 4, forcing teams to decide when to deploy their strongest players. Dahlia Diadem enters as the top seed, but the format makes raw strength secondary to tactical choices.
