Split 2 reaches its third round in July, spread across three Mondays at EVA Bucharest: Division 3 on July 13, Division 2 on July 20, and Division 1 on July 27. The order matters, because the bottom of the ladder sets the tone for the top: every division night reshuffles who climbs, who drops, and who collects the league points that decide the season.
Here is where things stand, division by division.
Division 1, July 27: 8BIT walk back into the fire
The headline of the round. 8BIT went down to Division 2 after Split 2 opened, then answered with a perfect 3-0 night: 2-0 against Hold My Beer, 2-0 against Tactical Telemea, 2-0 against Mici cu Mustar. Not a map dropped. That run sends them straight back into Division 1, and the welcome party could not be harsher: OneShot, Ghost and Project Underdog, the top three teams of the season, all in one night.
The fixtures: OneShot vs 8BIT, Project Underdog vs Ghost, OneShot vs Ghost, 8BIT vs Project Underdog, OneShot vs Project Underdog, Ghost vs 8BIT.
The subplot at the top is just as sharp. Ghost lead the season at 470 LP with a 12-3 record, but last round belonged to OneShot, who swept Division 1 with a 3-0 night that included wins over both Ghost and Project Underdog. OneShot sit third at 360 LP with the best current form in the league. Project Underdog (410 LP) are quietly in between, and they took Ghost down 2-1 last round too. Ghost won just one series on that night. Two rounds from the end of the split, the champion is genuinely unclear.
For 8BIT, the math is simple: at 325 LP in fourth, a strong Division 1 night against the three teams above them is worth more than any sweep below ever could be.
Division 2, July 20: TRG hunt a second straight promotion
TRG are the hottest story in the lower half of the league. They arrived in Division 3, went 4-1, won the division last round and now step up to Division 2. Their reward: Adam, freshly relegated from Division 1 and fifth in the season standings, plus two teams that know exactly what this division demands.
Mici cu Mustar hold an 11-4 season record, better than half of Division 1, and pushed 8BIT hardest before their promotion night. Tactical Telemea are the streakiest team in the league, capable of beating anyone in this bracket and losing to anyone in it too.
The fixtures: Adam vs TRG, Mici cu Mustar vs Tactical Telemea, Adam vs Tactical Telemea, TRG vs Mici cu Mustar, Adam vs Mici cu Mustar, Tactical Telemea vs TRG.
Adam against TRG in the opener is the one to watch: the relegated side that needs to bounce straight back, against the promoted side that has not slowed down since February.
Division 3, July 13: three teams, one way up
The split opens at the bottom, and it is a three-team round robin: Hold My Beer vs 8BITX, Hold My Beer vs Ceaunarii, 8BITX vs Ceaunarii.
Hold My Beer come down from Division 2 and are the natural favourite. 8BITX, the academy side, beat Ceaunarii 2-0 last round and get a real shot at the division with only two series to win. Ceaunarii have had the roughest season of the three (3-11), and a night like this, short format against direct rivals, is exactly where a season turns around or quietly ends.
Small division, big stakes: the winner takes the promotion spot and the points, and with only three series on the night, one upset decides everything.
The season picture
- Ghost, 470 LP
- Project Underdog, 410 LP
- OneShot, 360 LP
- 8BIT, 325 LP
- Adam, 285 LP
Division 1 nights pay the most league points, so the July 27 finale is effectively a four-way playoff for the season lead. Ghost defend it, OneShot arrive in form, Project Underdog have beaten both, and 8BIT have nothing to lose and everything to climb toward.
