Between last season's GSL and their GSTL results I was a bit worried for them, but it's almost like after MLG they've decided to rip everything up. Glad to see it! (now only if Alicia can join that party...) | ||

If there are two teams (TSL and MVP) that go 4-1 each or a combined 8-2, that leaves 7 wins and 13 losses for the rest of the teams (15-15 for all 6 teams on the season). The remaining four teams could have a 2-3, 2-3, 2-3, and 1-4 record and thus third place would go to a 2-3 team who has the tiebreaker. Since oGs and Prime are already 1-2, they can theoretically finish 2-3 on the season, with oGs beating F. United and losing to SlayerS, and with Prime beating F. United and losing to MVP. Since SlayerS and TSL also play F. United, that leaves them high and dry at 1-4 if the SlayerS conditions for entering the playoffs are met. Otherwise, F. United could beat Prime and lose to SlayerS, finishing 2-3 while Prime finishes 1-4. This is also acceptable and also negates any tiebreaker situation between Prime and SlayerS. Since SlayerS would theoretically beat oGs and F. United, they'd hold a tiebreaker there too. The chances are extremely low, but it's still possible. The final scores could be something like this: 4-1 TSL (only loss to MVP) 4-1 MVP (only loss to F. United) 2-3 SlayerS (winning next 2 against F. United and oGs) 2-3 oGs (winning against F. United, losing to SlayerS) 2-3 F. United (losing to SlayerS, oGs, & TSL; winning vs Prime) ** 1-4 Prime (losing both remaining matches) ** ** Swappable via their match vs each other but I prefer it this way The Prime/F. United match is the only one that doesn't matter if everything else happens and head to head tiebreakers don't matter. In that case, SlayerS definitely needs more points via 4-1 victories or all-kills. I'm not sure if tiebreakers (head to head results) matter, but if they ignore those and go by points instead, then SlayerS also needs to pull off some All Kills, or something close, just to be sure. Edit: there are a few other ways it could play out, but the bottom line is that if the top two teams end 3-2 (most likely MVP and TSL), that's really bad as the 3rd place is almost certainly also finishing 3-2 (unbeatable by SlayerS at this point) unless SlayerS finishes 1-4 or 0-5, which is entirely out of the calculations for them getting into the playoffs. Hey, one can hope. | ||

How SlayerS can win: Case A: TSL>FU FU>Prime SlayerS>oGs oGs>FU Final ranks: 1.TSL 4-0 (+9) 2.MVP 3-1 (+4) 3.SlayerS 2-3 (0) 4.FU 2-3 (-4) 5.oGs 2-3 (-3) 6.Prime 1-4 (-6) The numbers in parenthesis are their W/L sums. They are based on the current rankings, but if in the scenario a team wins a match they get +1 and if they lose they get -1. This is because in the worst case winning scenario you go 4-3 and still gain 1 point, and the best case losing scenario you go 3-4 and lose 1 point. Since the scenario is based on an assumed win or loss this works. In this scenario FU would require an extremely good W/L to take 3rd, not likely considering they were just all killed. oGs is a bit more likely, but -3 and -4 are huge deficits right now. or Case B: TSL>FU FU<Prime SlayerS>oGs oGs<FU Final Ranks 1.TSL 4-0 (+9) 2.MVP 3-1 (+4) 3.SlayerS 2-3 (0) 4.F.United 2-3 (-4) 5.Prime 2-3 (-4) 6.oGs 1-4 (-5) Slayers comes out ever further ahead. MVP vs TSL does not matter. If FU beats both Prime and oGs FU moves on with a 3-2 Record. Essentially FU and oGs are the only teams that can still hit 3 wins. It isn't unlikely that SlayerS move on. The stars don't need to align. MVP and TSL just need to keep winning, SlayerS has to beat oGs and FU can't hit 3 wins. Bottom Line: For SlayerS to move on they MUST beat oGs and FU CAN NOT reach 3 wins, but if they beat oGs they have the best shot of anyone. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Results of Slayers vs F. United] + The all-kill victory vs F. United helped Slayers chances at the playoffs immensely. There are two major scenarios for Slayers to advance: Scenario #1 - Slayers beats OGS - OGS beats F. United - F. United also loses to Prime and/or TSL + Show Spoiler [Tie-breaker Notes for Scenario #1] + If F. United beats Prime but loses to TSL: Slayers would win a three way tie vs OGS and F. United based on head to head. If F. United loses to TSL and Prime: Slayers would win a three way tie vs OGS and Prime b/c: At best, OGS can get 0 point differential (by all-killing F.U. and losing 4-3 vs Slayers) At best, Prime can get -1 point differential (by all-killing F.U.). At worst, Slayers would have 0 point differential (if they win 4-3 vs OGS). So OGS and Slayers would have the point tie-breaker over Prime, and Slayers would have the head to head tie-breaker over OGS. If F. United beats TSL but loses to Prime: Slayers would win a four way tie vs OGS, Prime and F. United b/c: At best F. United can get -1 point differential (by all killing TSL and losing 4-3 vs OGS and Prime). At best, OGS can get 0 point differential (by all-killing F.U. and losing 4-3 vs Slayers) At best, Prime can get -1 point differential (by all-killing F.U.). At worst, Slayers would have 0 point differential (if they win 4-3 vs OGS). Again Slayers has the point tie-breaker over Prime and F.U. and the head to head vs OGS (and F.U. as well). Scenario #2 - Slayers beats OGS - F. United beats OGS - F. United loses to TSL and Prime + Show Spoiler [Tie-breaker Notes for Scenario #2] + Slayers would be in a three way tie with F. United and Prime. But Slayers would win on points b/c: At worst Slayers has 0 point differential (by winning 4-3 vs OGS) At best F. United can get -1 point differential (by all-killing OGS and losing 4-3 vs TSL and Prime) At best Prime can get -1 point differential (by all-killing F. United) + Show Spoiler [tl:dr] + In order for Slayers to make the GSTL playoffs: - Slayers needs to beat OGS. - F.United has to go 0-3 or 1-2 vs TSL, OGS and Prime. - Match scores don't matter. All the tie-breakers will fall into place if these two things happen. | ||
