The battle for European playoffs is coming to impasse as the 3rd through 6th seeds are all within 3 points of each other. The challengers have all had their problems throughout the season, but let's see individually how these teams got here! A grueling season 

 

1. FC London United City: Held the 3rd seed for a large portion of the season, but recent inter league performance has bumped them down to 5th, only holding on due to having a game in hand. The young team has once again been carried by Cole Pierce, a mid goaler who has let them down big time in the late half of the season, similar to their playoff performance. This team is one where their star power is greatly lacking, I think McWolf's own player (draft stock manipulated??) is the only player above 500 TPE, but he's borderline MIA on the forums and discord so he probably only earns his job pay per week now. I predict London will hold on to the 5th seed.

 

2. Praha Spookyghosts: An underperforming team with lots of big guns that have only recently been able to string some wins together. Recent matches against Warsaw have caused them to soar outside of the play-in round and into the 3rd seed (real playoffs). Prague is collecting an interesting collection of users that would probably need a hazmat team to surround the locker room to prevent terminal mesothelioma from spreading to the opposing squad. Prague is an actual good team so I expect them to qualify in 3rd and then sweep the Riga TpebannedGMs. 

 

3. Warsaw Predators: A young team punching above their weight class, the gritty Predators had a rough start that found them in more penalty trouble then most teams in the league. After a nice mid season spree, they charged the standings and sit in a battle for 4th. The aforementioned losses to Prague have been critical in seeing them fall behind for the direct qualification to the playoffs, but Warsaw is the obvious pick for the 4th seed. A young core willing to battle with good coaching and an MVP goaler performance. Amazing!

 

4. The worst front office in the league: Rife with locker room problems, the team with an inactive management recently had to replace their coach with an actual advanced intelligence AI which has caused such a burden to be lifted from the underperforming Titans. The only player on this team anybody actually knows is @jRuutu and that's only because he caused a shit show. I don't even know his player name, I think it may be one of the Beach Bobs / Baby Bobs / Big Bobs that are floating around. I predict Helsinki to win the draft lottery tournament, and then the draft lottery, and then pick another player 10 picks down the board because nobody in the top 10 would stay after their ELC

 

And there you have it, these teams will all be battling for the final 3 spots in the league! I cannot wait to see how this turns out!

Review: This is a funny and insightful article that I didn't read. I like the way you digest and regurgitate what's going on in the current standings leaderboard into a long and tpe worthy post. You add your personal thoughts and how excited you are to see what happens which helps everyone in the league get interested in this interesting race. I am also so interested in who makes it to the playoffs to see who Seattle can beat in the finals. 43/52

My lawyer will call your lawyer, which in this case means I will call myself, because I'm still your lawyer.
