With the CLoL quarterfinals, the remaining eight teams are expected to outshine their previous matches
Toronto v Bethany: An equal match-up, both teams play offensively around the map, and they pick champions to which they can easily scale with
Maryville v Columbia: One of the most exciting match-ups. Both of these teams show a lot of promise, however, Maryville is infamously undefeated in League. Columbia is the underdog here, as they focus on good trades and patience
Winthrop v Buffalo: A personal favorite. Winthrop is nothing but spontaneous with their gameplay, they don’t settle with regular combinations, they adapt. Buffalo is a powerhouse with surprises up its sleeves.
Harrisburg v Illinois State: Another well anticipated game. Harrisburg is known to crush nearly all of their opponents, but Illinois does not back down from a fight. Illinois is seemingly unmatched against Harrisburg, but from their previous matches, Illinois has no trouble grouping together to finish their objectives and opponents.
Teams like Buffalo and Columbia have everything to prove since they are the only two who have been voted in
Teams like Maryville and Harrisburg have to maintain their champion-esque reputation
Teams like Winthrop, Toronto, and Illinois have a well-adapted team that simply enjoy what they love to do — compete!
Overall, the teams are well balanced and the match-ups create a clear line between who is the underdog and who is the fan-favorite
