WRL Set for Dramatic Finish

The Wizard Redraft League is down to its final contenders, and Week 15 delivered decisive results across all three playoff tiers. With regional championships on the line, favorites were tested, champions were crowned, and the Fanatic Four is now set in Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3.


Tier 1 – Regional Championships Recap

The Tier 1 playoffs lived up to the billing, as all four regions saw heavyweight matchups with championship implications.

Turd Ferguson delivered the most explosive performance of the week, dismantling the Unicorn Legends 220–180. The win crowned Turd Ferguson as the Red Dragons Regional Champion, knocking out the Red Dragons regular-season champions in emphatic fashion.

In the Krakens Region, Teds Lasso continued their postseason pedigree. The defending WRL World Champions overwhelmed the Music City Miracles 199–135, ending the Miracles’ run and securing the Krakens Regional Championship.

The Monarchs completed a dominant Cerberus campaign by defeating the Maniax 189–143. Already the Cerberus regular-season champions, the Monarchs added the regional tournament title to their rΓ©sumΓ© with a convincing win.

In the Loch Ness Region, THE Ohio River Monsters continued their season-long dominance. A 166–152 victory over the Terrifiers locked up both the regular-season and regional tournament championships, cementing their place as one of the league’s most consistent forces.
