ECL '22 Spring Neo Playoffs: Semifinals

SportsGamers,

We're closing in on the grande finale of the Neo season, but first - the Semifinals! Last round, the #1 seed London Lightning were trampled in a surprising sweep by HC KOROBKA, who seem to be on a mission to take down the big dogs. Quite interestingly we've also got the FIFA extraordinaire team Turkunummi paving their way this far into the postseason, going up against KH Torun Esports! The Semifinal round of the playoffs will start on Sunday the 5th of June 2022 and end on Wednesday the 8th 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.

5.9 ECL Neo Playoffs

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.
