This week is going to be so god damn exciting and there is no talk (plus its viaduct)!
Last week was crazy and juggled a lot of standings up.

Looks like teams will probably have to finish 10-6 to have a chance at a playoff birth which puts 13 teams in the running for 8 spots.

Who do you got for the last few spots?

New Faith Church vs Fragophilia is a deal breaker for both teams this week, I think Frago's going to come away with the win though.

since 1,2,3 are locked uhh

sals canal(can't see them losing their next 2 matches)
6cuties
rent a homies
playground

either my team(new faith) or fp for fifth

I think 6cuties vs dragon ball jav and playground tactics vs tonights entertainment are gonna be the best matches of this week. rent-a-homies can probably win their match with chill2good as I think they don't care as much about scrimming anymore atm while rent-a-homies are putting in work.

I don't think my team can lose again and make it. Good thing we play 2 of the better teams right ;)

It'll be an exciting week regardless with so many teams in must win situations and on viaduct.

The only pred that I'll make is, if 6 cuties plays via like they did last season, they'll be through without a problem - because they were amazing on viaduct last season lol.

Based off schedule it seems that Knights of Grillz, Chill2good, Dragonball Jav, Sals Canal and 6cuties are guaranteed playoffs.
That leaves 3 spots available:
Whoever wins in the Fragophilia vs New Faith Church game will definitely make the playoffs, as any team with 5 losses or less will make playoffs. After this game, two spots will be available.

It is too hard to say which team will get the final 2 spots remaining, as there are so many teams in the running. The order based off ease of schedule for the final 2 spots would be.
1. The loser of Fragophilia vs New Faith Church game
2. Rent-a-homies
3. The winner of Tonights Entertainment vs Playground Tactics
4. Story Time with Marxist

Story Time with Marxist and Rent-a-homies have the most control over if they take one of the final two spots, but have the hardest schedules, with Marxist's team playing two of the top 3 teams and Rent-a-homies playing Chill2good.

Most teams hold their destiny in their hands though, so it should be interesting.

^^ my predictions, RF assumes all matches are a 4-0, but in all honesty any team that has 8 wins right now could easily make playoffs, there's been a lot of upsets this season already.

Tonight's Entertainment beat Fragophilia so they would get the 8th seed in your spreadsheet. (Head to head before RF)

kermit_Does head-to-head still matter when there are 3 or more teams with the same record?

nope, it goes straight for RF at that point, since there are possibilities for x > y > z > x scenarios (even if that isnt the case)

I'm pretty sure only in the case of a > b > c > a does head to head not count, in which case baby dick hasn't played tonight's entertainment so TE would be 8th. Although I can't find that clause in the rules anymore.

we're gonna post our power rankings tonight and all of this analysis looks pretty spot on with what sakura and i figured.

marxist kinda got fucked for their last week. we wanted to make the MOTW fragophilia vs NFCG for the playoff implications but i think dragonball jav vs 6cuties is going to be a bit closer. a lot of good matches this week for sure though!

I wish some of the top IM games were casted on TFTV, or made more public by whoever was casting them. I only saw a couple by Ques+Mustard, but they seem to have disappeared now too.

I've done a *few* on my youtube channel - but my upload is such that I had to skip several of the better matches because they were too long. That's not to say I did everything, because I'm lazy.

Not really about the playoff spots, but this playoff will be very interesting. I think 6 Cuties is going to win it all. Br0nze and Co. are playing the strongest lately IMO.

well, i know that was the case a few seasons ago, since a team i was on was kept out of playoffs due to some convoluted RF scenarios even though we had won the head to head

We have a forfeit win coming up. New Faith and sals canal have matches they are likely favored to win, so these teams are almost secured for playoffs. Tonights Entertainment have a bye coming up so they won't have enough rounds to get into playoffs. All of the other teams below Tonight Entertainment in standings do not have enough rounds/wins to get into playoffs. The last two seeds in playoffs will be taken by either Fragophilia, Story Time with Marxist, Rent-a-Homies, or Playground Tactics.

Story Time with Marxist needs to secure a win from either Dragonball or Chill to Good to get into playoffs. Playground Tactics needs to hope that Rent-a-Homies have bad games against BIG BOYS and Chill to Good and get no more than 5 rounds while Playground Tactics win both of their games. I'm not entirely sure how head-to-head works in cases of 3 or more teams, but it seems like Fragophilia and Rent-a-Homies are the most likely to get playoff spots. Of course there are various upsets that could happen this week and seeding is far from determined.
