Mazer battle past a Squirtle Squad in ESEA Intermediate final

These aren't the Squirtles you're thinking of.

ESEA Intermediate came to an end last night, with Mazer taking down Squirtle Squad 2-1 in a rather close final.

The losing team are not the squad you may be thinking of, who currently go under the name Excelerate. Unfortunately, adopting the name did not help their chances as they only finished second in the playoff bracket. Both teams came from the Central division of Intermediate, where Mazer went 12-3 in the regular season and their opponents secured a 11-5 record.

The best-of-three started off with Squirtle Squad looking strong on Overpass with a 16-7 win, but Mazer came back with two very close wins. A 16-14 win on Inferno began it for the eventual champions, before taking it to a second overtime on Mirage to claim the win with a 22-20 win.

The top eight prizewinning teams of the Intermediate Division are:

1. United States Mazer - $2,460
2. United States Squirtle Squad - $1,640
3/4. United States Midwest - $1,230
3/4. United States Unkind - $1,230
5-8. United States APE ESCAPE - $410
5-8. Canada FilthyCasuals - $410
5-8. United States Vendetta - $410
5-8. United States AngGang - $410

Based on the released move up details from ESEA, after Mazer's win they will become members of the Advance division for Season 29. Teams placed second to 32nd will be promoted to Main. The full standings are available here.
