A lot happened this past week, with La Fine Équipe solidifying their hold on the top spot, and a bit of shuffling in the middle of the pack. While Heavy Greg and Start Slow Then Taper Off currently hold the #2 and #3 spots, keep in mind Protectors of Aiur has played 2 series fewer, so have plenty of opportunities to catch up. Two of the series went the full distance, making for some exciting viewing. Best of all, every single match this week was casted. Woo hoo!
Clips of the Week
In our first matchup of the past week, Kaden303 showcased the brawl between Heavy Greg and Protectors of Aiur where we learn that the ability to create terrain is pretty good.

Fun Fact of the Week That May Only Be of Interest to Me
Brightwing has been banned consistently, so only has been played 10 times. Of which she has won … 1.
Week 6 Preview
One match has already been completed (more on that next week), but we have a numbr of exciting games lined up, all of which will be casted! We have a bit of a logjam in the middle of the pack, quite a bit of which will be sorted out shortly. We also have a number of teams that have not played (or scheduled, get on it) their flex matches.
I expect we will start to see some of the wilder picks out of the teams looking to secure a place in the playoffs, as time is of the essence, given how many games are left to be played.
Week 6 Game to Watch
Deciding to save the best for last this week, Protectors of Aiur will be facing Start Slow Then Taper Off on Sunday, March 23, starting at 9:00 pm EDT. This will be casted by the always entertaining, and easily distracted, taco so be there when the action starts, and maybe he will notice most of it! https://twitch.tv/eltaquito
