Gods Reign miss out on ECL S49 playoffs

The group stage of the ESL Challenger League Season 49: Asia has come to a close and ten teams are locked-in for the playoffs. Gods Reign who started this iteration of the Asian ECL by taking a map off of QUBE and harizma, spiraled midway through the tournament and missed out on a playoffs spot, falling short by a couple of wins.

Comfortable clearing the group stage with stellar numbers, TYLOO and Lynn Vision head straight into the upper semi-finals. Both these teams have dropped just three and four maps respectively so far. After shaky starts Chinggis Warriors and Nomads stormed their way into the playoffs right below Rare Atom and The Huns.

With an exact 50-50 W/L record, FengDa Gaming made it through at #7. THE, -72C and Just Swing had a hard time but managed to scrape through with borderline 10-16 W/L records. These four teams will start their playoffs journey in the lower bracket. Rare Atom, Chinggis Warriors, The Huns and Nomads start in the upper quarter-finals.

Thanks to their top two finish, TYLOO and Lynn Vision directly proceed to the upper semi-final. The double-elimination bracket playoffs concludes with a bo5 grand-final where the team coming from the upper-bracket will start with a map advantage. The winner of the grand-final bags a coveted ESL Pro League Season 22 slot.
