MDL Relegation bracket released
ESEA have released the bracket for MDL Season 28 Relegation, featuring seven teams on the brink of being demoted from the league, and nine hungry squads looking to rise from Advanced.
The opening round matchups are as follows:
 MakeWarNotLove (1) |
vs. |  Advanced #9 (16) |
| Big Frames (9) |
vs. |  oNe (8) |
| XFORCE (5) |
vs. | Hysteria (12) |
| Geostorm (13) |
vs. | Vikings (4) |
 Forty Six and 2 (3) |
vs. | Whatever it Takes (14) |
| The Fundamentals (11) |
vs. | Infamous (6) |
| subtLe (7) |
vs. | ETHEREAL (10) |
 VAULT (15) |
vs. |  ex-Atmosphere (2) |
The relegation tournament is set to begin on August 28th, and run through September 1st.
The bracket will be run in a double-elimination format, something that Big Frames will have to seek some degree of solace in, given that they have been drawn into a rematch of the Advanced Grand Final against the Brazilians of oNe.
Only the teams that survive to the top four of the bracket will earn the right to participate in MDL Season 29, which is a Pro League promotion season. The remaining twelve will be left to toil in Advanced.
