by Neal Ronaghan - April 14, 2015, 5:24 pm EDT

As we march into the playoffs, who is on top and who is on bottom?

Teams W L RW RL SL
1. PGC 3 0 8 1 17
2. Mousers 3 0 8 1 14
3. Newscast 3 0 6 3 9
4. RFN 1 2 3 6 5
4. Famicast 1 2 3 6 5
6. Forums 1 2 2 7 4
7. TNT 0 3 3 6 5
7. SWAN 0 3 3 6 5

Tiebreaker Procedure - 1. Wins 2. Round Wins 3. Stock Left 4. Coin Flip Standings Legend - W: Wins. L: Losses. RW: Individual round wins. RL: Individual round losses. SL: Stock left during victories.


We're in the final week of the regular season, so that means things are heating up. Or at least they would be but outside off the RFN and Famicast game (which is a battle for fourth place), every other game has a minor effect on the overall playoff picture.

Team Newscast (3-0) vs. Team Forums (1-2)

Team Forums straight-up shocked the world by winning their first match impressively over the lowly TNT squad. While I think Newscast will come through with the win here, I expect at least Carmine and Donald to put up a fight against Zach, Andy, and Nathan. I expect J.P. to not do well. Whoever from Newscast is matched up against him will get a victory.

Neal's Prediction: Team Newscast wins 2-1

Team PGC (3-0) vs. Team TNT (0-3)

Team PGC, currently in first place, needs to take care of business to claim the regular season trophy. I wouldn't be surprised if Team TNT squeezes a win out here, but with the dominant performance of TYP and Windy over the past month, I'm not entirely confident that will even happen.

Neal's Prediction: Team PGC wins 3-0

Team Mousers (3-0) vs. Team SWAN (0-3)

I'm going to be ballsy here: while I think Mousers will win the match, I think we're going to see a big upset here, with SWAN stealing a small victory and keeping the Mousers from overtaking PGC for the top seed. My money's on Daan winning a match.

Neal's Prediction: Team Mousers wins 2-1

Team Famicast (1-2) vs. Team RFN (1-2)

After two weeks of no items on the road, Team RFN comes back home with what I assume will be another zany item set much like their week one Gust Bellows affair. That puts Famicast at an immeadiate disadvantage, but I think, much like that week one victory, Team RFN will come dangerously close to blowing it.

Neal's Prediction: Team RFN wins 2-1
