You're right, aiming for the best possible spot is of course the best. But, if you're gambling with a CT to get a play-off spot, lose, and end up with a wrecked TS to fight in the play-downs it's nothing pleasant either.

For me it's quite easy,you'll easily win against Obira at home so a win is mandatory. For Shoes, going CT while knowing I'll give my best to win is ... hazardous. Expecting a loss and going TIE to prepare the play-downs might lack ambition. So I'm expecting a good fight !

You made a huge come-back and an impressive second round with 6 wins out of 6 games. That being said, it is absolutely possible that one or both of our teams don't end up playing the final ! I like your chances on saturday more than mine, but your play-offs won't be easy.

I managed to grab HCA if I ever go the final, but at what price ?

Losing my C for 2 weeks will probably cost me the championship. This is the 4th injury this season, the second one for a starter player at a key moment. I'm cursed.

Really, I'm sorry for sounding that bitter but this is truly how I feel right now. That's just ... not fair.

OK, let's see what I can do without one of my starters.

Screw you BB, really.

Well few weeks ago I could not see a clear path to avoid demotion, and now there is one.
Still far from over but I have a fighting chance now!

I also think you did not believe at the beginning of the season you had a chance at reaching the finals but with Penko out... On the other side, Eagles- cows is the game to watch...

And congrts to BBB too, it was clear he would be relegated since a long time ago but he kept on fighting and being competitive, he has a young team and will be back soon!

Thanks @Joe for all this very interesting analysis, makes the game even more exciting, we are lucky to have you among us
I am happy that the chickens have a chance to stay in BBBL as we would had lost our )

As for me it will be very though to win away against @Eagle but I will try to make the surprise (the chances are 75% - 25% against me).
I put all my efforts on winning the cup which at least was not for nothing.

Congratz to @All as this is a very exciting season! No Teams with a short term strategy which then disappear or come back after 10 seasons tanking in lower divisions.

I did my job by winning my last game at home against Obira as expected, but it turned out to be not enough as Dartreb managed the difficult task to win his last 2 games of the season by winning away at two difficult opponents. Really impressive, especially since Dartreb won the games so convincingly. So if i would ever reach the finals against Kelmis - which is no guarantee at all - i don't have the HCA, which is an important factor.
But at this point, we are standing just before one of the most open playoffs ever in the BBBL. There is no guarantee that me or even Kelmis wil even be in the playoff finals. There is really no real favourite this time, and i see most of the playoff teams capable of winning the title this year.
I immediately have to start the playoffs with probably the most difficult game/opponent i could have, cfr. Paros Bulls who already has won the cup this season. This will without any doubt be a very difficult game for me, as is proven by our match history between eachother.
Almost every playoff team is capable of reaching the finals, the teams ar so close to eachother that anything can happen really.

I had little doubt you would take it against Obira :)

I can hardly believe you did 7/7 on the second leg of conference games. That's really impressive, because the blue side is stronger than the red one.

On the other hand, even I'm am pissed as f*** over Penko's injury, if we are to meet in the final, my chances are better with HCA without Penko than playing away with him.

Now, I have to very carefully plan my first round of play-offs, while it is clearly not as hard as yours, I still have to be cautious.
