oNe continue their dominance.

ESEA Advanced Season 28 playoffs kickoff

Big Frames, Geostorm, and oNe pick up wins in the opening round.

The opening round of playoffs for ESEA's Advanced Division began on July 30th and has had both expected and unexpected results, with some of the best teams dominating and a few faltering. The first stage of the playoffs saw oNe continue to dominate, Big Frames win in a close series, and Vault upset Mentality. 

The South American squad had no issues dealing with Reform in this series. The number one seed in the playoffs dominated on both Overpass and Cache. Every player on oNe carried their own weight throughout the series, but Alencar "trk" Rossato stood above the rest with a 1.58 Rating and also boasting an ADR of 93.4 over the Bo3.
