Team Reciprocity (6-3) vs. mousesports (6-3)
The RLCS playoffs are upon us, and that means it is time for the best Rocket League of the year, opening with a fiery matchup between mouz and Reciprocity. REC come in with the win during the regular season, taking the set 3-1, with Chausette45 looking like one of the top players in the league, currently boasting a 1.11 rating, good for third among all players. mouz, on the other hand, made a mid-season change by switching Scrub Killa for arju, who has held his own and more despite his late entry to the main roster. The big question will be if Speed and Kuxir97 can put the pressure on Chausette45 and keep him and Ferra free reign to push forward and score goals. In the end, Reciprocity come into playoffs off the back of a 3-2 win over no. 2 rated Dignitas and should have enough skill to work past mouz. This series has huge potential to be a nail-biter and could be decided by the star power on display.

Veloce Esports(5-4) vs. FC Barcelona(5-4)
The first elimination match of the EU RLCS playoffs kicks off between Veloce and FC Barcelona, both of whom ended with respectable 5-4 records. The intrigue around this match should be the absolute lack of form both teams have shown coming into the playoffs. Veloce are on a three-game losing streak while Barcelona lost their last two and squeaked by an 0-9 AS Monaco 3-2. Barcelona will look to Deevo to return to his former World Champion level, while Veloce will be hoping for FreaKii and FlamE to carry them over the line. This matchup went 3-2 in favor of Barcelona in a Week 1 meeting that featured two games going to overtime. While both teams have struggled in the back half of the season, Veloce have the individual talent to bring it all together when their whole season relies on it. That said, Deevo is one of the cheapest players available and could be a huge bargain if he can bring out a classic performance.
VEL Players to Target: FlamE ($14,400 captain, $9,600 flex), FreaKii ($15,000 captain, $10,000 flex)
FCB Players to target: Ronaky ($15,600 captain, $10,400 flex), Deevo ($12,300 captain, $8,200 flex)
