S4 Promotion Playoffs #2

¹ FlyQuest roster leaves and revives eQuinox.^[1]

² The roster of Renegades leaves and revives Momentum. ^[2]^[3]

³ EPICJonny originally left Out of Style during the off-season^[4]^[5], thus causing the team to lose its spot (in which case the 3rd placing team from the S4 Promotion Playoffs, Allegiance, would have been given the spot), he rejoined just before the deadline, along with the newest player to the team, Hato^[6]. As a result, Out of Style has kept their spot in the RLCS.

⁴ Evil Geniuses acquires the roster of eQuinox.^[7]

⁵ Counter Logic Gaming acquires the roster of Momentum.^[8]
