Notable upcoming matches are On Lance vs Dogs Of War on the 25th, Just Swing vs Neon Black and LiviD vs Dogs Of War on the 26th, and heX vs LiviD and Final Feature vs Just Swing on the 27th.
The 16 team playoffs for the Advanced division will award a direct spot in MDL Season 32 for the winner, and four spots in MDL Relegation for the 2nd-5th place teams. The winner of Advanced will also win a hefty $4,500, while second place will take home $3,000. The rest of the $7,500 will be distributed across the rest of the top eight.
