NSG Eastern Conference Championship group stage complete; bracket drawn
The first day of play has completed at the Ocean Resort Casino, seeing twelve teams through the playoff stage.
Every group was a rather straightforward affair, with the first seed in each advancing with the top spot. With a large gulf between the top and bottom teams in attendance, quick stomps were the name of the day, leading to ridiculous stat lines like the one Ricky "floppy" Kemery posted against Vivency.
The only showdown between contenders occurred in the Group A winners match, with Singularity facing off against Misfits and Digenerates. Despite having a 13-8 lead, Matthew "mCe" Elmore and co. were unable to close out the map, ultimately losing 16-13.
With all the results in, the opening matchups of the playoffs look as follows:
 Vivency |
vs. | x1 Mob |
| Fragging for Andy |
vs. | 7evenChapters |
| Misfits and Digenerates |
vs. | can't believe she took the kids |
| Thunder Logic |
vs. | The Tourists |
The winners of these best of three series will then go on to face the top seeds, who are:
| Singularity |
 FURIA |
| Vireo.pro |
| Drip or Drown |
The action recommences tomorrow morning at 11:00 AM EST, and will see the first two rounds of the playoffs play out.
