Neon, Orange, and Gold locked up a spot, but their matchups are yet to be determined.  Each and every game coming up has a potential implication, but I will talk about them out of order, in the order of controlling their destiny towards securing that final spot.

In the third game, on 2/9 at 7:30 PM, Silver will face Orange.  Orange can finish anywhere from 1st to 3rd, but a Silver win locks them in the 4th spot.  A tie will mean that a Teal, Green, or Purple victory bumps them out, and losses or ties by those teams leave them in.  Orange leads the season series with a win and a tie.

In the first game, on 2/2 at 8:30 PM, Black will face Teal.  If Teal takes a point more than Silver, they will claim the 4th spot.  Black swept the regular season series with two wins, but will not be able to reach the semi-finals with the clean sweep.

In the fourth game, on 2/9 at 8:30 PM, Green will face Neon.  Neon can finish anywhere form 1st to 3rd, but Green will need a point more than Silver and Teal to claim the 4th spot.  Neon and Green split the regular season series, each claiming one victory.

In the second game, on 2/2 at 9:30 PM, Red will face Purple.  If Silver, Teal, and Green lose, Red can still get in with a win, owning the tie breaker with everyone.  Purple can get in as well, by getting more points than Silver, Gold, Teal, and Green as well.  Red swept the regular season series with two wins.

The final game of the round is on 2/9, at 9:30 PM, between Yellow and Gold.  Gold can finish anywhere from 1st to 3rd, and Yellow will not be able to make these semi-finals.  Gold leads the season series with a win and a tie.
