ESEA League S48 Playoff Schedule

Matches must be played by the following evening from the scheduled default match time. For example, if the default day for your match is March 6th, you can play the match anytime before March 6th or up until the evening of the 7th. You can play before the 24-hour window if both teams agree to a time on the match page and open a ticket so a staff member can schedule it. However, you cannot play after the following day, so please re-arrange your work schedules, dates, or anything else that can conflict with the playoff dates. Matches will be forfeit if they have not been completed after the evening following the set default day.
