Season Playoff Implications

  • Either team’s odds of making the overall Playoffs or the Play-in tournament will improve if they can win this match.

I noticed dive is making a comeback, and the Spitfire too.

i am rooting for Defiants now :slight_smile:

this is really a coin toss for me i couldnt care less about either of these two teams but i guess if i had to pick…toronto

Spitfire has been disappointing but I have no faith in Defiant at all

This isn’t a match Toronto should be targeting as a victory tbh, because this is London’s meta. Just play well and we’re golden.

Yeah, this is London’s meta. If Toronto take this, I would be incredibly surprised.

best casters poggers

edit: grumpy do not interact

Don’t worry I have them muted.

Semmler is alive again … watching him cast GOATS was painfull and Hex tried to do his best … well and he did, i respect him, hes doing a great job

i just said dont interact and yet here you are, interacting

A lot of Semmler’s casting style can be boiled down to “repeating Hex but louder”

I want mr logix to pop off (thank), but really watching Profit and Gesture using Halt-Dragon is an absolute joy

yeah and hes hot so im giving him a pass

LONDON IS 1-7 ON ILIOS LUL

There’s another Season Playoff implication with this match.

NYXL secures the Atlantic Division spot for the Season Playoffs if London loses this match. NYXL doesn’t play this match, sure, but London is behind NYXL by 6 match wins, only has 6 matches left for the season (including this one), and are the only other team (besides NYXL) that has a slight potential of winning the Atlantic Division.

Edit: The same thing is also true if NYXL wins 1 match at all in this stage.
