D1 West Playoff Predictions – Round 1
Current West Prediction Record: 0-0
Current Prediction Record: 4-3
Plenty of playoff races came down to the final day with as many as 11 teams having a shot at the playoffs. Now that the dust has settled, we have finally made it down to the final 8 teams, where 3 match days remain. Who will go the distance and challenge for the Division 1 Overall Title? A quick look at our playoff teams:
1) Cracks Nation – 63 points
2) Magic X – 56 points
3) Uncs FC – 50 points
4) Bazukazos – 49 points
5) Impact X – 46 points
6) Warriors FC – 46 points
7) Sons of God – 40 points
8) Eternal Legion e-Sports – 38 points
Game 1: Cracks Nation (1) vs. Eternal Legion e-Sports (8)
A tale of two completely separate stories. Cracks Nation has been a West powerhouse for years and clinched a playoff spot with weeks to spare, while newcomers Eternal Legion somehow came through on the final day to steal a playoff spot from Untouchables and Los Boyz. Expect Cracks to lean on their experience and make a deep playoff run this year.
Prediction: Cracks Nation wins 5-1
Game 2: Magic X (2) vs. Sons of God (7)
Another round of old against new teams here. Magic X have been playoff mainstays for some time, while Sons of God have done well to make playoffs in their first year of West. Magic X have been consistently solid all season and are incredibly deserving of their seeding, while Sons of God will look to pull off a huge upset here.
Prediction: Magic X wins 6-3
Game 3: Uncs FC (3) vs. Warriors FC (6)
Only 4 points separated these teams this season. The Uncs have had great success offensively scoring plenty of goals, while Warriors have had an impressive defense all season. Can the Uncs keep up their goal-scoring form and hold up on defense just enough to avoid an upset from Warriors?
Prediction: Uncs FC wins 4-3 over 3 games
Game 4: Bazukazos (4) vs. Impact X (5)
A battle of two high-scoring teams. Their 48 and 50 goals scored are near the top of the division. While Bazukazos has been consistently good all season, Impact X have been up and down the table due to scheduling conflicts and handing teams free points via forfeit. Expect match hosting to have an impact on this fixture also.
Prediction: Impact X wins 6-3
