eFire announce Master League Season 2
eFire have announced a second season of their North American Master League, which will again feature a $10,000 prize pool.
This season will feature the top four teams from the previous iteration of the event, along with four additional teams coming from an eight-team qualifier.
The teams invited to the closed qualifier were:
 Big Chillin |
ETHEREAL |
 Infinity |
Faint |
 RBG |
Serac |
| Trivium |
Monstars |
The closed qualifier began yesterday after the announcement of the event, and immediately saw Monstars withdraw. As a result, their slated opponent, ETHEREAL, got a free pass to the main event.
RBG against Serac, on the other hand, actually happened, and the Canadian side emerged with a 2-0 victory. It wasn't easy on Vertigo, however, as RBG needed overtime to take their opponent's map pick, largely thanks to 29 kills from Cameron "Cam^" Stewart on the Serac side.
Inferno was much more straightforward for RBG, a 16-5 stomping that was spearheaded by the 24 kill performance of Josh "pwny" VanGorder. Every single member of RBG had as many, or more, kills than Serac's top fragger on the map.
The closed qualifier will conclude with two best-of-three series tonight:
| Infinity |
vs. | Big Chillin |
8PM EDT |
| Trivium |
vs. | Faint |
10PM EDT |
The participant list for eFire Master League Season 2 is currently:
 Yeah |
AA |
| Thunder Logic |
Keep The Comms Up |
| ETHEREAL |
RBG |
 Infinity/Big Chillin |
Trivium/Faint |
The entire event will be broadcasted on the eFire Twitch account.
