ECL '22 Spring Neo Playoffs: Quarterfinals

SportsGamers,

A total of 24 teams reached the playoffs in the Neo division, and now we're down to only eight remaining. The top eight seeds had a bye week for the first round and some extra time to hone their game, and for the most part that advantage seemed to work well for them. Now it's time to start it all over again against new opponents. The third round of the playoffs will start on Monday the 30th of May 2022 and end on Thursday the 2nd of June 2022.

Here is a full schedule of the ECL '22 Spring Neo playoffs:

• Round-of-32: 08.05 – 12.05 (BO5)
• Round-of-16: 15.05 – 25.05 (BO5)
• Quarterfinals: 30.05 – 02.06 (BO5)
• Semifinals: 05.06 – 08.06 (BO5)
• Finals: 12.06 (BO5)

For the relevant rules regarding these playoffs, please find extracts from the ECL Rulebook below. Essentially, each series will be a best-of-five and the higher seeded team will play 'at home' first, then alternate back and forth with the lower seeded team.

In ECL Neo, 24 teams will make the playoffs. These 24 teams will be made up of the top 6 from each of the 4 groups. The top two teams from each group will progress directly to the second round (seeds 1 – 8), whilst the remaining teams (seeds 9 – 24) will play in the first round, with the victor joining the top 8 seeds in the second round. As is the case with ECL Lite, the teams will be seeded based on finishing position within their group, as well as the tiebreakers mentioned in 11.3.
