The WMPL has officially rolled over to Week 14 and we are back in business overall! The SOS report
through Week 13 has been released and the newest power rankings will be
out Tuesday.
The WMPL Playoff
Picture Through Week 13 is now available. A slightly new look since we last saw this 2 weeks ago. Starting in the International Conference, AvatarLee has leapfrogged TallAcePaul via a conference record tiebreaker to take control of the #1 spot and home-course advantage throughout the conference playoffs. TallAcePaul still has control of the #2 spot, but hasn't guaranteed the first round bye yet as coolswing is #3 and right on his heels. coolswing will own the conference record tiebreaker over TallAcePaul if they end up with identical records, so it'll be up to TallAcePaul to win out his remaining 3 games to secure that first round bye. Vares remains locked in the #4 position and unless a serious shakeup goes on above him should remain there. paulmcm still hangs on to the #5 position and villadeoro has stepped up to knock tograss down one spot and lay claim to that final wildcard position.
Over in the National Conference the order is the same #1 through #5 as it was after Week 11. BolloxInBruges has a firm grasp on the #1 spot at 12-1 and will guarantee himself a first round bye with a win in Week 13. Kosei82 is still #2 and also can clinch a first-round bye with a win and a werksux loss in Week 13. werksux and ckiniry still round out your #3 and #4 spots. ckiniry has trouble breathing down his neck in the form of pricehcs & marioh, both of whom want to make their run at the National East Division Title. pricehcs & marioh will do battle this week and the winner will continue to make their run for the division title while the loser will be wildcard life support. DougBieker checks in again at the top wildcard position at 8-5 and claremoreblue at 7-6 is edging out pricehcs for that final spot thanks to a head-to-head victory earlier in the season.
Playoff Outlook:
Congratulations
to AvatarLee who has clinched the International West Division
Title. He has propelled himself into the #1 seed in the International Conference thanks to holding the conference record tiebreaker over TallAcePaul.
Congratulations
to coolswing who has clinched the International East Division
Title. Currently 10-3 after starting the season 7-0, coolswing has leveled off slightly in the last 6 weeks, but still maintains a 4-game lead in his division with only 3 weeks to go.
Congratulations
to Kosei82 who has clinched the National South Division
Title. Currently 11-2 on the season, Kosei82 is hoping for a win next week combined with a werksux loss to lock up that all important first-round bye in the conference playoffs.
Finally, last but not least please join me in congratulating the International
Conference who has prevailed in the 2010 WMPL Red vs Blue Rivalry by a final tally of 30 to 26. Kudos to all of the international players on the collective achievement!
Good luck with your Week 14 matches! Only 3 weeks to
go before the playoffs! =)
