D1 West – Round 1 Playoff Predictions
D1 West Playoff Predictions
An interesting first season where East players and teams could play west have shaken up the West as we used to know it. Could this be the final piece of proof that East players just do it better? The 8 teams in the playoffs are:
- 06 Society FC – 70 points
- Tiburoneta (West) – 69 points
- Magisco – 68 points
- Famous XI – 59 points
- RoyalxAckerman – 58 points
- Lucky Tekkz – 53 points
- Magic X – 50 pints
- Sharti CF (West)
06 Society FC (1) vs. Sharti CF (West) (8)
06 Society had clinched their spot in the playoffs long ago while Sharti CF needed a result against Cracks Nation to seal their place in the top 8. Sharti CF’s defense will need to carry this team if they want any hope of making an upset.
Prediction: 06 Society Wins 5-2
Tiburoneta (West) (2) vs. Magic X (7)
Magic X have been on a poor run of form as of late, seemingly taking the foot off the gas once they clinched a playoff spot. Tiburoneta has been good all season, finding themselves in the top 2 almost all season. Their high powered attack will cause problems for any team they face this playoffs.
Prediction: Tiburoneta wins 6-2
Magisco (3) vs. Lucky Tekkz (6)
After a nerve-wracking final day, Lucky Tekkz turned it on and got themselves into a top 6 spot and will face off against a very strong Magisco side. Magisco had the 3rd best attack and 2nd best defense. Will Lucky Tekkz bring their strongest 11 to the playoffs?
Prediction: Lucky Tekkz wins 2-1
Famous XI (4) vs. RoyalxAckerman (5)
Famous will be hopeful to 3-peat in the west, with the ever-persistent RoyalxAckerman standing in their way. RoyalxAckerman have the best defense by far in West, while Famous has a top 2 offense. If Famous’ defense can piece it together, they should be able to make another deep playoff run.
Prediction: Famous wins 4-3 over 3 games
