All 8 playoff spots are set, but we still have a lot of room for movement in the middle of the ladder. La Fine Équipe has a lock on the top spot, and a week off to eye their competitors and concoct nefarious plots for the post-season. The real interest is in the middle seeds, where we have three teams tied at 23 points, Ground Up, Heavy Greg, and Start Slow Then Taper Off. All three play this week, most against teams at the top of the ladder, so it should be extremely competitive.
Clips of the Week
First up, The Sound brings us the match between Hot(s) Dads and Heavy Greg. Although everyone loves Medivh shenanigans, will it be enough in this fight that can end the game?

Fun Fact of the Week That May Only Be of Interest to Me
Happy Miles Lewis Day!
Week 11 Preview
As mentioned in the opener, this is the last week for teams to secure their playoff seed, so expect to see everything put on the line for those trying to gain a more favorable matchup. Every single match is meaningful, as the top seed is on a bye (well, a forfeit due to a withdrawal, but same difference).
Week 11 Game to Watch
While every match this coming week should be special, I expect fireworks from the set between Braincellmates and Heavy Greg. Both teams can brawl with the best of them, and surprise picks seems to be normal. Catch it live when The Sound picks up the mic Monday, April 28th, starting at 9:00 pm EDT at https://www.twitch.tv/thesound51.
