Eagles and Vikings and Hentai, oh my; Advanced Playoffs have it all

The winner will make their way to MDL automatically, who will it be?

With the ESEA regular season finishing up on the 18th for all divisions, except the MDL, the second season of the Advanced division has had it's playoff bracket released.

The playoffs will feature a best of three, single elimination bracket, and a single spot for the victor to push them through to the MDL for Season 30. The runner-up and semifinalists will find themselves in a double-elimination bracket against the bottom MDL's teams ex-Velocity, VAULT, Blight and ETHEREAL. 

For teams looking at a redemption for last season's blunders, Guerrilla Tactics and The Fundamentals will be looking to find themselves in the relegation after both busting out in the Advanced playoffs.
