The Call of Duty 4 Summer 2009 Playoffs are rolling right along! We are now entering the fourth round of play, and in just a few short weeks the 64-team field has been reduced to just 8. Of those eight remaining teams, three are ranked within the Top 10. This round's matches are set to begin Wednesday the 14th at 9PM EST.

The #1 ranked EnVyUs finished the regular season with 135 wins and just 8 losses, and has so far sailed pretty smoothly in the playoff tournament. With wins over The Hulkamaniacs (#64), Above Standards (#33), and Expensive Habitz (#17), EnVyUs now must face their most worthy opponent yet: #9 ranked Equinox. Beating Equinox will be no walk in the park -- they finished the season 83-5 and have not lost a map so far in these playoffs. In the next bracket down is perhaps one of the most-hyped up teams in the competition: #5 FeaR Clan. FeaR finished the season 98-1 and has also won all nine maps played in this tournament so far. They'll play the #45 seeded VizuaL in Wednesday's match. VizuaL were able to put together a decent season, finishing with 56 wins and 11 losses -- but the advantage has to go to FeaR.

In the lower half of the bracket, #35 ranked Professional Supremacy will take on #11 ranked Evil. Professional Supremacy went 86-21 in the regular season, while Evil finished 88-9. Both squads are in their inaugural seasons as a team; so nobody has the experience advantage. This should be a close matchup. Meanwhile, Team Replay, the #39 ranked team who finished the Summer Season with a 57-8 record, is still waiting for an opponent. The third round match between #15 aD Rush and #2 Team Violent was disputed and is currently being reviewed by GameBattles administration. A decision will be made by Wednesday.

That's it for this week's Call of Duty 4 Summer 2009 Playoff update! As you can see, Wednesday has a full plate of match-ups waiting to be decided -- so be sure to check the bracket Wednesday night or Thursday morning if you're following along. It's sure to be an exciting conclusion to the playoffs, so check back often for more information in the coming weeks!
