FURIA and The Fundamentals through to MDL Season 30
The second day of play in ESEA MDL Season 29 Relegation has come to a close, and the results see the Brazilians of FURIA and homegrown squad The Fundamentals through to MDL for next season.
First in the upper bracket, Masked took on FURIA in a rematch from the ESEA Advanced Season 29 playoffs. Unfortunately for David "Delta9" Shafer and Masked, the result was the same, as the Brazilians cruised to a swift 2-0 victory.

The second upper bracket match saw Big Frames (ex-Blight) take on The Fundamentals. This tilt was closer than the previous, with Yan "PRDTR" Davtian and his side just barely falling short in the first map 16-14. Inferno was not a similar story, however, as Robby "ROBBY1" Robshaw topped the board for his team in a decisive 16-6 victory.
Both Masked and Big Frames are still alive in the tournament, but have now fallen to the lower bracket.
