What a crazy final day of games! So many of them meant something to the playoffs as well as the coveted 5th spot! lol
Here are the standings since the game hasn't updated yet.
1. Postal 1. Rougher Nation
2. Tachenko 2. Royal Challengers
3. Red Terrors 3. Wadsworth Grizzlies
4. Rogues 4. Pope and Cardinals
5. San Jose 5. Bobcats
6. Cleveland 6. Michigan Blasters
7. Warhawks 7. Da Bulls
8. Little Stallions 8. Prov City
Postal and Rougher Nation both won locking up the number 1 seed, although the Royal Challengers gave RN a run for their money by trying to catch up in PD. Only 22 points separate them.
Pope stayed in 4th and Bobcats stayed in the coveted 5th spot even though they both lost. Wadsworth also was victorious but his standing did not change and he stayed in third. Even though Michigan came up short on the road it was enough to keep HCA in his relegation series. Da Bulls stays in 7th, but would have been the 2 seed in the other conference in my opinion. He shouldn't have any issues winning on the road.
On the other side it was CRAZINESS. Postal of course won comfortably, but the win dropped the Warhawks down to the 7th seed and now causes them to win on the road to stay up. Cleveland was sitting pretty in 5th until they lost an absolute barn burner to Red Terrors at home. This win shot the Terrors into the 3 seed and bumped Cleveland down to the relegation series to face arguably the hottest team participating in the relegation series' in Da Bulls.
In the rest of the action, Rogues came up with a big win and moved all the way into the playoffs at the 4 seed. Although the 5th seed is a much better place as a first round knockout is inevitable. This alone will cost the Rogues over 100k+, but hopefully the fans will be more excited for next season and STH will be happier. With 5 teams at 7-14 going into last night's games, this conference did not lack in excitement.
Now onto the predictions.
First Round:
Postal def Rogues
Tachenko def Red Terrors
RN def Pope
Wads def Royal <-----no real reason, just a hunch.
Second Round:
Postal over Tachenko
RN def Wads
Championship
RN wins in 3 over Postal (Pipe dream lol)
Relegation:
Da Bulls wins in 3 (maybe 2 if he tries in game 1)
Michigan wins in 3
To the Stallions and Prov City, you will be missed. Enjoyed this season and hope you will come back soon.
Good luck to everyone else and to be honest, I will probably lose in the 1st or 2nd round! No offense to the other conference with my predictions in the Relegation and I hope nobody's feelings got hurt as this was just meant to be a fun playoff preview. I'm sure I will be proven wrong multiple times. Let the fun part of the season begin!
To the Stallions and Prov City, enjoyed having you this season and good luck in D3
