There's going to be a playoff NGLL team that had a combination of a very advantageous schedule which avoids a Hero's Green or M&D matchup while getting a low tier A team on schedule.
Top 2 seeds from each division make playoffs. Usually Hero's and M&D are on opposite sides. Then Bethesda on one side and the "perceived " 4th best team on other.
So yes, certainly opens the door for Pride, LBC, MDU or someone else. But there are no guarantees. Who's to say Hero's and M&D are automatic. Although it would be a big surprise for them not to finish top 2 in their division.
I'm going to say, it won't be BLC this time around.
M&D, Hero's Green are rock solid playoff bound teams.
Its going to be someone like a Pride, LBC, MDU, NEMS, whichever avoids playing either M&D and Hero's Green.
The 3 & 4 slots are going to have to play either M&D or heros (as they should be separated by division) its all about who else is in their division and do they escape playing both M&D and Heros because of out of division games?
Yes, assuming you split M&D and Heros, everyone will play at least one, but several teams will play both, and BLC which is tough draw.
In 2021, NEMS didn't play M&D Black or BLC, instead got Skywalkers and FCA, the two weakest A teams in league.
