Has anybody else noticed that next week is going to be huge?
Before reading my novel below, understand that I have based ladder positions for teams with the same number of wins-losses by the difference between rounds won, and rounds lost.
IE: two teams, both 3wins, 4 losses.
team 1 = 87 rounds won - 82 rounds lost (difference of +5)
team2 = 87 rounds won - 81 rounds lost
(difference of +6)
Team 2 would take the higher spot on the ladder.
Firstly theres the tussle betwee DA, GUF & TU for the top 3 spots, which are guaranteed this cannot change.
What can change however, is 4th spot.
4 out of the 5 remaining teams are all GENUINE chances to play off in the finals.
The KKK are arguably the luckiest team, drawing Ethereal Realms (and therefore the 24-0 win by default). Giving themselves every chance of snagging 4th spot. with 3 wins, 4 losses and a round margin of 87-82
Hot on their tails will be the team from IBISQ, who have drawn the GUF team. Purely to make my analysis that little bit more 'interesting' lets say GUF wins 16 rounds to 8. This would then leave the IBISQ team ALSO with 3 wins, 4 losses and a round margin of 86-82. 86-82 will not be enough to bypass the KKK with 87, therefore IBISQ need to ensure they manage to take at LEAST 9 rounds of GUF this week to bypass the KKK team.
Two teams that have a true playoff-style match next week are the team from Cyberbunker, and the Barracks up north. Both teams currently sitting on 2 wins, 4 losses. One of them has to win, and therefore end up with 3 wins, 4 losses.
In order to bypass KKK. BAR would need to win 15 rounds to 9, leaving them with a round score of 87-81.
Alternatively, Cyberbunker will need to win 22-2 to even things up with KKK, and 23-1 to stick their noses in front.
Dont take what I say as gospel, because it may very well be wrong... but im fairly sure ive got this right.
confused? so was I... but damn this is close.
