First and Foremost thank you again to the players, captains, and admins who stepped up to draft and put everything together.

Let's get into the predictions & breakdowns for each team going into the playoffs!

-]iB[- by far outperformed everyone in this cup at 29.4 points from group stages! with that, they get to rest comfortably on a bye week. congrats team!

Mr. also gets to enjoy a bye week for a hard-fought set of victories they may have ended in third in points from group stages but they were at the top of group A! Congrats team!

-IFS- vs dH (In For Silver) (Duck Hunters)

I'm not going to tell you how to beat my team. that's dumb. jk jk.

Seriously congrats to both teams 

-IFS- Started out ROUGH against -]iB[- to start the season and looked like they may of bit off more than they could chew, making a few roster changes and positional changes they were able to slowly turn things around and ended in 2nd place in pts(silver baby! also sorry FA)

-dH- the South American sensations opened the season with a victory against PAPE and played REDACTED  2nd week with some challenging contests vs both UF and MR. To end the season they are going into this game battle-tested.

Starting 5 for both teams

-IFS- jmoney, PACO, Gzt, SCREAM^ and KNOCKOUTDAD

-dH-  Lokoooo, Hildee, Spriggan, Vodka and Mets

X- Factor - The amount of all capitalized names on IFS is too strong for dH to overcome sadly. In all seriousness jmoney/ch3kz and Mets/Hodor will be the respective keys to the win for either team they will have to step it up to push it over the edge as I believe it'll be pretty locked between the top 4.

Prediction - Both teams find some way to win and celebrate a WIN for THE AMERICAS as a whole while building new relations for the advancement and future of the world. (not predicting my match)

[UF] vs ^()$ What is this tag? seriously it looks like a cat ran across the keyboard I keeeeed) 

(Unstoppable Force) (Art of Slaughter)

Congrats to these teams for making it!(2nd for UF & 3rd for $%%^$#^@%)

[UF] Stonco|d openly robbed me during the draft by picking brr and never looked back. They've had a strong showing every single week except for the time they forgot their injection of roids and rage ensued against Mr. They cleaned it up the following week made some roster/positional changes also doubled checked they had whey protein & roids in stock they look to be back on track. (may still rage though.)

^()$ had some dominant showings in some of the games and some others just missing the mark a little. Having personally played this team I can tell you they are very team-focused and oriented and if uZi is subbing...WATCH OUT! They don't know the meaning of quit as they hung on to beat FA| 6-5 in a very wild nuance game to end the season and doing something similar against -]iB[- the week prior on anfractuous!

Starting 5 for both teams

[UF] - Stoneco|d , brr , kHr(you're welcome) , bUENO and rmrz

^()$( - uZi , UzI ,Uzi , uZI and UZI!! (jk jk) - dickfish, sheeva, CoMeT ,Draymith , ftwphil

X-factor - Will Stone and bUENO get upset at each other if $#@%%^ goes up by a score and be able to maintain composure for any adversity? %$%#^ has proved they can and will fight till the bitter end i believe that will be even more amplified in playoff mode.

Prediction - dickfish and Sheeva are a very good duo with CoMeT providing support for both offense and defense they have a really good system in place that may be enough to water down the attacking force of stone, brr, and bueno or frustrate them to no end. on the flip side, kHr and rmrz aren't going to let you walk in and walk out with caps so you will need your best from Dray and phil to at least make it to where CoMeT can lend a hand. brr & bueno can be very tricky...not quite blackmane level of trickster god but slippery enough you're going to need to just bash them with a hammer and be done with it before they get going.

Both teams will win their map picks by at least 1. (because that's when it's 5D TIME BABY)

[UF] will come away with a 2-1 victory on the third map and advance!

Don't think I am right?? VOTE below!

Good Luck to all teams! it should be a lot of exciting UT!
