Teams that manage to get high scores and finish in the first and second positions of each group will continue their journey to the Playoffs phase. Not only that, the top two teams in each group will get an Upper Bracket slot.

The Upper Bracket can be one of the advantages because a team that loses in the Upper Bracket does not immediately fall, but will continue to play in the Lower Bracket.

There are four teams that will end in third and fourth positions in the Group Stage phase. The four teams will still qualify for the Playoffs stage, but they will participate in the Lower Bracket.

For the four teams that end in fifth and sixth positions, they will fail to qualify for the Playoffs stage and their struggle must stop at the Group Stage phase. All Playoffs matches have a bo3 format.

The Playoffs will begin on the 25th August at 16:30 WIB. The Upper Bracket Semi-Finals match will be the opening of the Playoffs phase of the ESL One Malaysia 2022 tournament.

The following day, Lower Round 1 or Lower Bracket will be held, consisting of teams that have passed from the Group Stage with third and fourth positions. For teams that are able to win in the Playoffs phase, they will continue their struggle to the Upper Bracket and Lower Bracket Finals.

For teams that lose in the Upper Bracket Final, they will have the last chance, namely the Lower Bracket Final. The Lower Bracket Final is the last final and determines who will face the winning team from the Upper Bracket Final.

The Upper Bracket Final will take place on August 27 and the Lower Bracket Final will take place the next day, namely August 28, 2022.
