Now that about two thirds of the season has passed and with about 10 games left for every team, the battle for playoff seeds has heated up as Taiwan Beer, KKL and Pure Youth are fighting for the No. 3 and the No. 4 seeds in the playoffs.

These three teams are only one game apart, which means any win or loss will have huge impact to the standing.
