Congratulations to franky35, jomboy78, Rigged Splits, hallerose, stratorat, Jimmy_C, pushpin76, Jablowmi, Radagast Brown for already clinching your spot in the finals. The amazing thing is not one of your names surprises me as you all are very good players and many of you make it this far every year. It's an incredible accomplishment and I wish I was good enough to make it into the top 12, but I actually had my worst showing ever in my 4 years playing in the tournament.
As was mentioned, there are 3 more spots up for grabs. Icterus Galbuli and daveaq31 are in the best shape as they control their own destiny and just need to win their semi-final series in the 90s to advance - they don't need to win their 90s championship to clinch. Icterus Galbuli's team had 100 wins, but is facing the always tough pushpin76 in League 5, daveaq31 had 90 wins and enters the League 3 semis as an underdog versus irish iii. Rjnewman is sitting in the other top 12 spot right now but did not make the playoffs in his 90s league. So he has to hope that sphillipp8 and Moodywoody - two great players - do NOT win their 90s championship. Those two are the only teams on the outside looking in with any chance, and they both need a 90s championship for a chance. Moodywoody won 101 games in League 11 and sphillipp8 won 92 in League 9. All eyes are on Moodywoody, who always seems to be facing elimination at some point in the tournament every year and finds a way to stay alive.
Good luck everyone and congrats on making it this far!
