Playoffs: Week 2

Remember that the semi-final round will be filled by the top four teams from this round of three games.  These will be determined by points in the round, and ties broken by regular season seed.  After the first night of playoffs, the standings for the semi-finals round are:

The second week of the playoffs open at 5PM with a re-match of Black and Red.  Black dominated the regular season series, 2-0-0, outscoring Red 9 to 1, but that won’t matter here after the winner gains the upper hand in making the semi-final round.

Following will be a rematch of Gold and Yellow at 6PM.  Yellow dominated this regular season series, 2-0-0, outscoring Gold 7 to 2.  Assuming someone wins the Black versus Red game to start the night, the winner of the Gold versus Yellow game will move ahead of the losing team, and into the top 4 ahead of the last week of this round!

Next up at 7PM will be a Silver and Teal rematch.  Not only did Teal hand Silver their lone loss of the season, splitting the regular season series, they outscored Silver 6 to 5 on the season, playing them tight in both matches.  Teal will need a win here to remain in contention for the next round, while a win for Silver with their 1 seed will ensure they continue into the next round.

Following this at 8PM will be a Green and Neon rematch.  Green outscored Neon 8 to 5 in their matches, splitting the series with a lopsided win and a close loss.  The winner here will head into the final week in contention for a spot, while the loss will put the other out of range.

The evening will close with a 9PM rematch between Orange and Purple.  Orange outscored Purple 8 to 7 in the series as they split their regular season matches.  Purple needs a win to keep their chances of a semi-final birth alive, while an Orange win keeps them in control of their own semi-final chances.
