Second FRAG LCQ day recap

The second day of Fragadelphia is here, and we've dropped the bottom 17 teams from yesterday. The last chance qualifier for this $100,000 event will see the top eight teams qualifying for the main stage at the end of the day. Currently, eight teams sit in the upper bracket fighting for four slots, with another 16 in the lower bracket for the other four.

To understand how Fragadelphia is structured, you can read the full explanation from the organizers themselves here, or continue reading as we do our best to simplify it below.

We have a lot to see in the upcoming three days, so follow along on this live blog, the bracket and the various streams from Fragadelphia!
