Key points to follow throughout the second round:

- Still, Dynastia. After a very strong group stage they had a small hiccup against Wilhelm Devils in the first round. In the end, they advanced with ease but will need too improve with their chance conversion when the games get tighter. Their series against Setelit on Ice should follow the same format and we can expect Dynastia to advance further.

- POGGERS & SAWO, both of these established Elite squads had some issues to get going in the first round, can they bounce back and put forth stronger performances against increasingly tough opponents?

- Tight matchups, especially some of the mid-table matchups are extremely even as some strong teams didn't perform up to expectations in the group stage. Kiekko-Espoo vs Reign and Sack Brothers vs VISU Gaming are ones to watch closely, those could go either way.

Make sure to tune in already tonight at 19:45 CEST in order to follow the first games of the Round 2 playoffs! Arttu @OLVARI Hämäläinen and Julius Sorjonen will be in the booth over at www.twitch.tv/NHLgamer.
