D2 Playoff Race Heats Up

The Montreal D2 playoff picture is far from settled, with three teams fighting for the final two playoff spots heading into the last two weeks of the regular season. ## Current Standings 1. Rush (6-0) - Clinched playoff berth 2. Pulse (5-1) - Clinched playoff berth 3. Velocity (4-2) - Controls own destiny 4. Apex (3-3) - Needs help 5. Drift (2-4) - Mathematically alive ## The Battle for Third The Velocity hold the tiebreaker over the Apex thanks to a head-to-head victory earlier this season. That means if both teams finish with the same record, Velocity gets the playoff spot. ## Key Games Remaining - **Week 7:** Velocity vs Drift, Apex vs Rush - **Week 8:** Velocity vs Apex (potential play-in game) ## Scenarios - If Velocity wins out, they're in regardless of what Apex does - Apex needs to beat the Rush AND have Velocity lose one of their remaining games - The Week 8 Velocity vs Apex game could effectively be a playoff game ## Analysis The Velocity have the easier path, facing a struggling Drift team before the showdown with Apex. The Apex face a near-impossible task against the undefeated Rush before their must-win finale. Stay tuned for what promises to be a dramatic finish to the D2 regular season!
