After a ladder phase fraught with disputes and bitter defeats, the Big Air Gaming League's Call of Duty: World at War competition has moved into its bracket portion.

16 teams advanced to the brackets, and cramming matches into the last week of ladder play definitely catapulted a couple of teams to the next level. So far, no matches have been played in the bracket (thanks, Christmas), but here are our matchups:

#1 [W]icktown [K]illas vs. #16 TeaM FeaR

#2 Team cAv vs. #15 American Bad Ass

After taking over the top spot in the ladder, cAv fell to 2nd in the scramble at the end of the ladder phase. Still, 2nd seed isn't bad, and could work out for them in the end.

#3 3rd_Degree vs. #14 Contrakt Killers

#4 The Mormon Ballers vs. #13 LilBirds

Two hilariously-named teams collide in a cloud of feathers and golden tablets. Who will prevail?

#5 Red Cell vs. #12 Z-Hour

#6 A.I.D.S vs. #11 SlitherySquad

#7 Cryptic Heroes vs. #10 Six Feet Under

#8 [TeAm MuRDa] vs. [TeAm MuRDa] #1

Two squads from the same team will battle in an epic clash. Let's hope no win trading goes on!

Keep your eyes peeled for match reports and analysis as we whittle down the teams in this exciting competition.
