Divisional Game 1

The Gremlins put on a good front in their home fight but Jack was way too much. It was a close 5-4 first set which Jack rallied and won. Donte had a strong showing in his first playoff appearance and got the home team to the 3rd set. It was a full team effort for the final set as the Scarlet Ember rolled to a 5-3 victory. They aren't the 2nd best chemistry team for nothin'.

Expect a quick defeat of the Gremlins with the home field advantage, on to the Conference Championship!

The Diamonds got completely caught in the limelight and the Skylarks thrashed them in what could likely be their last home game in that building. They shutdown Sean for 3 sets and Sebastian proved ineffective. The Skylarks played fair team ball as everyone got a piece of action. Maurice showed out.

Now the Skylarks have quieted all the Diamonds hype they can go home and wrap things up. But, the Diamonds are still a dangerous team, and Simeon didn't have the best index in the league for no reason. I see this series going to 3.

The Interceptors probably played their 3rd worst game of the year (Dragonfish, Cat's) in New York City. Salem played terrible and they even struggled to 3 sets against an Empire team that was basically trying to lose. Aleksandr played ok in his >8th straight playoff experience. The Interceptors are on such a higher level but have struggled terribly since Salem is no longer a big threat.

The Interceptors will feel playoff fever again in game 2 and make this series interesting.

Rename the Gold the Brass! Unlikely hero rookie Brass had a phenomenal game against the home team Cat's. The Gold showed they really are #1 in the league. The Cat's couldn't get anything going with Joseph, Jared and Ausonio missing throws. The Cat's could be out the door in 2.

I expect a big game from Jared but an even bigger game from Desmond and the Gold will find themselves in the Conference Championship again.
