What to expect from the final day of ECL S48
The final day of the regular season is here, and the 15 teams competing in the North American ECL have one more set of matches where they can try and improve their standings and their circumstances.
Mythic is in a fascinating spot going into the final day, as they could avoid relegation altogether or finish in the 15th spot that guarantees demotion. Their worst case scenario would be losing both games to Nouns while LAG Gaming and Take Flyte split their series, giving LAG a better record and tying Mythic with currently last place Take Flyte, who owns the tiebreaker. At least one win versus Nouns would mean Mythic avoids automatic demotion, but doesn't guarantee that they avoid Relegation.
Up near the top of the standings, a number of teams are jostling for those tantalizing top two spots. Legacy and M80 are in pole position with 22-4 records, and can guarantee they stay there with at least one win, but Wildcard and Nouns are lurking behind with 20-6 records. NRG have already completed their season and have locked in a spot in the upper bracket quarterfinals.
