Welcome to another edition of the Old Spice Swagger Series! This is it -- the final Regular Season update of the Gears of War 2 Spring Season. The $3,000 playoff tournament is now just hours away from beginning. Let's take one last look at the standings as we head into the post season.

Fully Spaced had a very productive week, now with 97 wins and only 7 losses. Thanks in part to a 17 game win streak, they're going to enter the playoffs as a #1 seed. Dreams, also on a 17 game win steak, was able to pass RAW TALENT to claim the #2 spot. RAW TALENT only trails Dreams by 145 XP, meaning a few battles today could flip-flop the two once again. Spirit F3, who have amassed 115 wins with just 18 losses, is in the #4 slot -- just 35 XP ahead of Less Than Zero. Less Than Zero is now 50 - 1 and still adding to a 30 game win streak. Annoy, the current #6 ranked team, is 114 - 14 and has won 29 straight matches, giving him the second longest streak behind Less Than Zero.

A few teams that were "on the bubble" have now moved up and secured playoff births. UnKnoWn, #17, has a record of 63 wins and 8 losses. They've built a 10 game streak while climbing into a playoff position. Just south of them in the standings are Ransom (92-25) and InFLueNce (44-5), both of whom are enjoying the momentum coming from short 6 game win streaks. Meanwhile, Murked Gaming, the former #1 team on the ladder, has fallen to 21st position and will be battling with the likes of SwaG (46-11, #26), Exposure (68-16, #32) -- and pretty much any other team ranked between 25-35 -- for the final few playoff spots still available.

It will surely be a great finish to the season for whoever is able to qualify. We wish all the teams in contention the best of luck while trying to secure themselves a post season birth. To battle all season long and go home now, especially for a former #1 team such as Murked Gaming, would be certain disappointment. Be sure to keep an eye on the standings as we enter the final 24 hours of the season, and check back next week for the first Old Spice Swagger Series Playoff Update!
