The New Thalos Hydra and the Karecus Card Sharks both head into
the last part of the season with 9-9 records and fighting for the last playoff
spot of the ACFL's 5th season.
The Highland Gallowglass have been officially eliminated from the playoff
hunt after dropping a 3-0 loss to the Cardsharks on Tuesday, leaving the final
spot for the Cardsharks or the Hydra.
The Cardsharks have the slight advantage having a better head to head score
(10-8) over the Hydra during the season after both teams took 2 wins from
each other.
Both teams till have to face the winless Shalonesti Quicksilver but both
teams have one major opponent left, both facing teams that have already taken
the first two spots of the playoffs. The Hydra will face the league
leading 15-3 Arkane Stars on Sunday and the Cardsharks will face the
second place 14-4 Althainia Brute Squad the same night.
Verminasian King Marcaus Madaur, owner of the Karecus Cardsharks was quoted as
saying "As with all competition, it comes down to one final strike, one final
swing of the sword or axe. We've been waiting for this moment and we are
ready. We do not have the luxury of watching what our fate will be, we have to
win, or hold our breath for a match after. I choose to win."
The matches on Sunday March the 8th should determine the playoff
standings.
