SLTV StarSeries concludes tomorrow

With two playdays remaining in SLTV StarSeries' ninth season, there are still five teams competing for the four spots at the finals on May 2-4, where a staggering $30,000 will be given out.

Na`Vi are the team looking in from the outside. They currently hold the third place in the rankings, but having already played out their fourteen games, their fate is now in the hands of others.

Team	Record	Points
NiP	12-0-2	36
Virtus.pro	10-2-2	32
Natus Vincere	10-1-3	31
Titan	10-1-2	31
fnatic	9-3-1	30

If Clan-Mystik defeats both fnatic and Titan tonight, Na`Vi goes to the playoffs. Due to holding the head-to-head tiebreaker over both sides, the CIS-based team will also make the finals if CM splits their games, though a draw would be enough for Titan..

For fnatic tonight's game against Kenny "kennyS" Schrub is a must-win. If they lose, they are out. Titan have one more point in the standings than fnatic, so even if they lose, they will make the finals if fnatic also loses.

HaRts' Clan-Mystik will determine the fate of Natus Vincere tonight 

NiP are the only team who has guaranteed their seeding as number one. Virtus may still fall all the way down to fourth if both Titan and fnatic win tonight, so seeds two through four are still in play.

With seven SLTV StarSeries IX matches to be played tonight, the evening is full of action. There are also four games tomorrow, determining who stays in the league for its next season.

Monday, April 14
17:00	LDLC	vs. MayaM
18:00	fnatic	vs. Clan-Mystik
19:00	Dobry	vs. mousesports

Tuesday, April 15
19:00	Dobry	vs. ALTERNATE
20:00	Clan-Mystik	vs. MayaM
21:00	Clan-Mystik	vs. k1ck
22:00	k1ck	vs. ACES

GamePub, who disbanded just under a month ago, have already dropped out of SLTV. Former Courage, now known as Hashtag, are also out as they've already played all their games.

With four teams dropping out, that leaves two more to go. Currently k1ck and ACES are in those places, but the Portuguese could still retain their spot with victories over both CM and ACES.

Team	Record	Points
ALTERNATE	4-0-8	12
mousesports	4-0-9	12
Clan-Mystik	4-0-5	12
Dobry	3-1-8	10
Hashtag	1-2-11	5
k1ck	1-2-9	5
ACES	1-0-10	3
GamePub	-	0

ACES would require three wins in their matches against Clan-Mystik, LDLC and k1ck to stay in SLTV StarSeries for season X. Next teams in line in danger of getting knocked out are Dobry, Clan-Mystik, mousesports and ALTERNATE.

SLTV StarSeries IX's online portion will conclude tomorrow, just in time for Copenhagen Games, but the season will truly finish only at the finals on May 2-4, which HLTV.org will cover.
