MIDWAY, KY. - A great fall season ended for Midway's League of Legends Esports in the NECC Division VII East playoffs with a 2-1 loss to Eastern (Pa.) Tuesday night.

Second-seeded Midway, which hadn't so much as lost a game during an 8-0 start to the season, were immediately facing elimination after their sixth-seeded Eagle counterparts won the opening round of the best-of-three match.

Midway fought back to win game two, but Eastern responded by coming out on top of the winner-take all third game.

Despite the disappointing end, the fall proved to be another big step forward for the League of Legends team, which won a Southeast Region championship last April. The Eagles will attempt to duplicate that feat when they return to action in the spring semester.

Midway has one other Esports team in the postseason. The Eagle Call of Duty squad will begin the Playfly Conference Playoffs against the University of Frazier Valley on Thursday.

The match will begin at 8:30 p.m. and can be streamed on the Midway Twitch page.
