'''Esports Arena Rewind II LAN 2018''', commonly known as '''Rewind II''', was the second [[Esports Arena]] Team Fortress 2 tournament. It was confirmed that it would be in the same location as the previous iteration in Santa Ana, California.<ref>[https://twitter.com/EsportsArena/status/922587118769078272 Rewind 2 announcement on ESA's twitter account]</ref>

The tournament's format was similar to the previous year's, but however, teams [[froyotech]] and [[Se7en]] already had their spot in the Invite group reserved due to their results in the previous event and throughout the entire year. The two remaining teams, [[Ascent]] and [[SVIFT NA]] were decided in an [[Esports Arena Rewind 2018/Invite Groups Qualifiers|Online Closed Qualifier]] while the the remaining teams, as well as any other teams wanting to participate, would need to make their way in through the [[Esports Arena Rewind 2018/Open|Open Qualifier]] that took place at the event.<ref>[http://tf.gg/45700/ Rewind II invites and closed qualifier announced]</ref> '''Se7en''' flew in a few days early in order to bootcamp before LAN.<ref>[https://twitter.com/CoolerMasterUSA/status/955939882899193858 Se7en Bootcamp by Cooler Master - twitter]</ref>
