Yup, it's that time again. We would like to congratulate the Top 4 teams who have made it into the AUS / NZ 4v4 Season 1 Playoffs. As always, the schedule for playoffs can be a bit hectic, but we have done our best to make the schedule easy to follow and spread over the four weeks in a better way for participating teams. If you have not made it to playoffs, we would like to congratulate you and thank you for your efforts this season. All badges will be distributed at the completion of the season.
Schedule
The below schedule is used to illustrate what matches are played each week, with the allowed days also being listed under the image. As you have made it to playoffs, we expect that you ensure you and your team's availability for these days, as matches will be tightly scheduled and closely monitored by each Sub-League's Manager (see our staff list here).

Week 1: Upper Bracket Round 1 (BO1): Monday - Saturday
Week 2: Upper Bracket Semifinals (BO1) & Lower Bracket Round 1 (BO1): Monday - Saturday
