ESEA Main S26 Playoffs set to start
After just over two months of steady competition, ESEA Main is coming to a close with a 32 team playoff bracket, with the first games scheduled to begin at 9:30pm tonight.
The first round of the tournament will last from November 29th up to December 1st, the second round will take place between December 2nd and December 4th. The quarterfinals are scheduled between December 5th and December 7th, with the semifinals taking place between December 9th-11th. The grand final itself is currently scheduled for December 13th.
On offer this season is $9,000 for the top eight placing teams. As well as that, the top two teams will also gain guaranteed qualification to the next season of ESEA MDL, the highest division below the ESL Pro League. It should be noted, however, that historically more than two teams receive promotions at the end of the season.
The full prize break down is:
1st: $2,700 + ESEA MDL Season 27
2nd: $1,800 + ESEA MDL Season 27
3rd-4th: $1,350
