After quite disappointing results in the frist matches for SlayerS, it looked like they had no chance to advance to the play-offs. However, after recent results of Week 8 it seems that they still have a chance.
With TSL and MVP secured their spots in play-offs for the Jupiter group, now its all about the 3rd place.
The current standings in the run for the 3rd place after week 8 are:
oGsTL: 1-2 (-3 sets)
FUnited: 1-2 (-4)
SlayerS: 1-3 (-1)
Prime: 1-3 (-5)
The remaining games are for these teams are all against each other:
Week 9: FUnited vs Prime, oGsTL vs SlayerS
Week 10: FUnited vs oGsTL
So, unless FUnited beats both Prime and oGSTL, and assuming that SlayerS will take over oGsTL, there will be a tie for 3 teams for the 3rd position.
And SlayerS seems to be a favorite to advance because of their best set win-loss ratio:
even if they beat oGsTL only 4-3, they will have 0.
Prime will have at most -1, if the 4-0 FUnited.
oGsTL will have at most 0, if they 4-0 FUnited
FUnited needs to win both games. If they beat only one team, they will have at most -1
So the short summary:
FUnited needs to win both games to advance (+they still have a chance for the 2nd place if MVP will loose to TSL);
SlayerS needs to win over oGsTL, preferably 4-2 or better and hope that FUnited will not win both games;
oGsTL needs to win over SlayerS, and most likely over FUnited too to advance;
Prime needs to 4-0 FUnited, and hope that SlayerS will lose to oGsTL, and oGsTL will loose to FUnited;
