Sorry for the brief absence, but let’s make up for it with some highlights of teams jockeying to secure playoff seeds. Many dominations took place, and a thrilling throwdown between top seed La Fine Équipe and Ground Up that went the full 3 maps. While the top 7 teams seem to be set for the post season, there is a tie for the 8th and final spot, and there is still a number of changes that could take place that would affect the final bracket.
Clips of the Week
There was only one B East match cast this week, so I am including a few from last week, since more highlights is more highlights.
First from week 7, we have Tokeybee bringing us the perfect rotation from the match between Hot(s) Dads and Frank’s Furters.

Fun Fact of the Week That May Only Be of Interest to Me
The most played maps in B East this season so far have been Infernal Shrines, Tomb of the Spider Queen, and … Braxis? Clearly B East hates the late game!
Week 8 Preview
There is a logjam at the top of the standings, with La Fine Équipe holding on, but Hot(s) Dads right behind them. Still within striking distance are Protectors of Aiur, Braincellmates, and Start Slow Then Taper Off. All of these teams have competitive matches this week, so we may see some shifting in the standings.
Week 8 Game to Watch
Two of the teams hoping to close in on the top seed will be squaring off as Protectors of Aiur is the home team against Hot(s) Dads. Who will rise to challenge our leader? There is no caster yet, but it should be an excellent candidate for casting either live or through a replay! Everything starts Tuesday, April 1 (no fooling!) at 9:30 pm EDT.
