We've arrived at the Playoff stage also in our fifth tier of competition, the Neo division. Let's take a quick look at how these Playoffs will proceed an which teams are still in contention for the title!

Their opponents will be coming out of the winning teams in the first round, RO64. For instance, Rusty Bulls will face the team with the lowest seed from RO64 and so on. Please find here the first round matchups for the teams seeded #9 to #24
Jokers Cergy (9) vs Wildcats esport II (24)

The Neo Championship playoffs are always difficult to predict and this ECL '23 Winter is no exception to the rule. Obviously the Top 8 teams are already favorites but honestly the gaps between #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11 and #12 are not huge. It's all the more possible that the teams which have to go through a preliminary round can pull a beneficial effect due to the pace of competitive matches from the outset, while the teams at the top of the table will be resting for a short week.
Let's have a look at some stats that might help to predict what will happen next.
