Based on 11/22's regular season results, Central Middle School eSports has qualified for 2022 MSEL Fall Major Playoffs! One RocketLeague team of 3 and 10 Minecraft survivalists will battle for points to earn playoff ranks!
RocketLeague will battle through a single-elimination bracket, against 32 teams from across the nation, with 5 rounds total to fight their way to finals! For each RocketLeague opponent, it's best of 5 matches, with 5-minutes for each game. Our record is 4 wins: 1 loss: 3 forfeit losses from unplayed matches. Our RLGold team shares great communication, each plays a great role, shares a healthy rotation to protect our goal, centering the ball, to twist and air-dribble an aerial goal. We can take any team in this bracket! Watch our bracket results during these playoff rounds @ https://tinyurl.com/MSELbracket
When playing all 5 rounds, our Minecraft survivalists will earn points for attendance, kills, and placing top 10 out of 24 players. Our Minecraft players know how to fight to be the last one standing: collect items, hide, sneak attack, and be patient.
Our match dates are the next 3 weeks of Tuesday and Thursday @ 7pm queue time: Round 1 Tues 11/29, Round 2 Thurs 12/1, Round 3 Tues 12/6, Round 4 Thurs 12/8 and Round 5 Finals on Tues 12/13. To practice before our playoff matches, students will stay after school or enter through the bus ramp doors at 5:30pm.
Dinner food and drink donations are WELCOMED on those playoffs @ 7pm Tuesdays and Thursdays for Minecraft and RL Gold players. Please let me know if you want to sponsor food/drink, or $6 each for 16 CMS eSports players to get a playoff-qualifying trophy for the 2022 MSEL Fall Majors! @ samatha.leonard@lawtonps.org
