The OTE regular season is coming to a close this weekend and there is still so much left to be settled. The four games in Atlanta on Friday and Saturday will not only determine the final playoff seeding but will also determine who the first ever team to miss the OTE playoffs will be 🏆

The first game of Friday night marks the first meeting of the year between Jelly Fam and RWE and also marks the last game of the season for both teams. Jelly Fam is more or less locked into the six seed at this stage but this game will play a large role in the DPOY race. Yandel German is one of the front runners for DPOY and is three steals away from breaking the single season steals record. If German can break that record it will be hard to deny the defensive impact he has made on this season and for Jelly Fam 🍇

RWE, on the other hand, has a lot to play for in terms of seeding. If they win this game they will still be in the running for the three seed, although for them to officially move up to three they would require Fear of God Athletics to beat the YNG Dreamerz in Florida tonight. If RWE were to drop this game they would be in danger of falling all the way to the five seed. With Taylen Kinney out of the lineup the likes of Javon Bardwell, Parker Robinson and Peyton Miller will have their hands full keeping RWE afloat 💪

The other major game of the weekend is the final one between the City Reapers and Diamond Doves. This is officially a win-or-go-home game for both the Reapers and the Doves, as the winner will advance as the eight seed in the playoffs while the loser will become the first ever team to miss the playoffs. The Reapers have some positive momentum going their way though, as Gabe Nesmith, who has missed the entirety of the season with an injury, will be available for game action this weekend 💀

The other two games this weekend both involve the hottest team in the league: FaZe. FaZe is on a nine game winning streak, matching the Cold Hearts for the longest win streak of the season. If they win both their games this weekend over the City Reapers and Blue Checks they will remain in contention for the number one overall seed in the playoffs. Marcus Spears Jr. and DaKari Spear are also both very much in the MVP discussion and if either guy has a great weekend they could propel themselves to the front of that conversation 🏅
