sick comeback whataburger

With Rodney & the Stangers having already played both their matches this week, I'll be casting the only non-Newcomer match. Fresh Installs (3-10) vs. Muddy University (4-9). With both teams eliminated from playoff contention, the only thing on the line tonight is their pride. While Installs' record is worse, they do have a pair of one-round losses against the current #5 and #6 seeds. And both teams have earned roughly the same amount of points throughout the season.

Should be a good game? Though Muddy's recent two forfeit losses concern me. Hopefully the match still happens.

There's two crucial matches left to determine Main playoffs and I'll be casting both of them. With Whataburger Esports dying at the 11th hour, it grants just meatball a ticket to playoffs (seed TBD). With only 2.50 points of difference between these four squads, there's a variety of outcomes that will determine who will keep playing for glory and who will be sitting on the couch.

THURSDAY 10:30 EST - juggalos of cs:s (7-7, 21.33 pts.) vs. PLUMPWENCH (9-6, 26.01 pts.)
Match: https://rgl.gg/Public/Match.aspx?m=5859&r=40

As the team with the most points of the remaining four, Plumpwench have already secured themselves a playoff spot. Even if they were to lose 5-0, it's impossible for both the Stangers and Anglerfish to acquire enough points to knock Plumpwench out. What they are fighting for is seeding. Win by at least two rounds or more and they will get the 5th seed. If they only win by one round, then just meatball will take 5th seed while they get 6th. Should they lose, then their seed will be determined by how many rounds they earn and what happens in the Stangers vs. Anglerfish game.

juggalos will be the benefactor from the dead Whataburger roster, but they have their work cut out for them. Mainly, they still need to win. That will guarantee them a spot in playoffs while simultaneously hurting Plumpwench's seed. If they lose, they will want the Stangers to get the runback on Anglerfish AND for Anglerfish to not take many rounds. In a worst case scenario for them - ex: losing 5-0 to Plumpwench, they could still get in so long as Stangers win by two rounds or more. Taking as many rounds in a loss would help their cause, as would a considerable win by whichever victor of Stangers vs. Anglerfish.

FRIDAY 10:30 EST - Austin Anglerfish (9-6, 23.51 pts.) vs. Rodney & The Stangers (8-7, 24.82 pts.)
Match: https://rgl.gg/Public/Match.aspx?m=5856&r=40

The Stangers' situation is simple: win and in. No matter the scoreline, if they get the W they'll be in the playoffs at some seed or another. However you could also consider their case the most volatile, as if they lose they will need a ton of help from Plumpwench. If they lose and juggalos lose, it will come down to the rounds. If they lose but juggalos win, then they're almost certainly out. A 5-4 loss and a juggalos win is the only outcome where Rodney losing still gets them into playoffs.

For Anglerfish, they have the least amount of points so they want juggalos (the next lowest in total points) to lose. Any win all but guarantees a spot besides the aforementioned scenario where they win 5-4 but juggalos beat Plumpwench. If they lose 5-4 but juggalos lose 5-0, Anglerfish would make playoffs. No other outcome would work. What they do have going for them is a 5-4 win over the 2nd seed BEASTMODE yesterday, so there's that.

Since they are playing on Friday, after the juggalos vs. Plumpwench match happens, both these teams will have a clearer picture of what they need to get done. Of course there's a small chance my math is wrong but I...don't think so? Feel free to waste as much time as I did for something like this.

which main playoffs match do you guys want to see ?

IT'S PLAYOFFS TIME BABY. First we'll check out Main's opener: the #1 Sword Art on9 Survivors vs. #8 Austin Anglerfish.

Following in halo 3 on9 family's footsteps, Sword Art on9 Survivors have also achieved a perfect 16-0 regular season. The difference is in how they did it. Sword Art - for a lack of a better word - dismantled the division. They had but one close game which was their final match of the regular season against the #2 seed BEASTMODE on Granary which ended in a 5-3 victory. They gave up five other rounds total. For comparison, halo 3 on9 gave up 20+. Sword Art have the distinctive honor of earning the most points in RGL 6's short history at 45.84 points. Along with their IM counterpart in Pastel Mirage, they are the only two undefeated teams this season. The pursuit of perfection awaits.

On the other side, Austin Anglerfish are the unfortunate casualties of RGL's ranking system, being seeded below two teams with worse records. Oh, and they beat both those teams (three times total, in fact). As such they face the juggernaut that is Sword Art. Outside of those wins however, they have struggled against the top seeds of the division. That is, until week 8 when they upset BEASTMODE in a 5-4 thriller. Perhaps that gives them a surge of confidence heading into this showdown. Unlike their opponent, they have practically no pressure on them. If they lose and go home, many would have expected that outcome. But if they win...now that would be a legendary upset. Here's to a good set.

tonight twitch.tv/nutcitylive will take our crack at covering main playoffs with The First Galactic Empire (#3) vs just meatball (#6)

this match should be an interesting one as the last time these two teams faced off was Week #2A of the regular season with The Empire taking the match with a clean 5-0 win, but since then The Empire has proven that they weren't unbeatable, losing a match to the #9th seed team, juggalos of cs:s, as well as pretty convincing losses against the other top teams in the division. With tonight's match on the three pug maps, it seems that teams are going to ignore any gimmicks they might have and instead just try to play the best TF2 they possibly can, but will that be enough our underdogs, or will they fall victim to the same fate as many Jedi before them.

im also streaming the match

its honestly just meatball

gg jodd and stngrs that was a good match
