On the last day, one more event finished in January.

26. AWP World Tour - 250 Series - Discovery
https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=21291
Congrats to MoD for his 4th (!) event win on the Tour!
This win means that from now, regarding 250 Series events, only the tourney wins will count for him to his best six part :O (and need minimum semifinals in 500 Series events too)
He has got 300 not counted points already which would be enough for TOP50 LOL
Time to focus on the major events Master :P
Congrats to ANT as well, his performance on the Tour getting better and better lately.

I updated the Events google sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ao0SlM6Kv6CE1-Ha5mBIrI6nj4Uft2lMaE25qbXxWHs/pub?gid=648212339&output=html

The ongoing events were updated too.
And I collected the present finals (F, SF, QF) positions from these events, here are the players with more than 2 finals (the + means still in the game):
  • 5 - MoD (1SF+, 1SF, 2QF+, 1QF)
  • 3 - Panagiotis (1SF+, 2QF+), Edge (1QF+, 2QF)
  • 2 - Ollie (1F+, 1SF+), ACL Tears (1F+, 1SF), Hunta (1F+, 1QF), Buns (1SF+, 1QF+), rakleader (1SF+, 1QF+), Wini (1SF+, 1QF+), ANT (1SF+, 1QF+), Jackie Treehorn (1SF+, 1QF+), MIFRAN (1QF+, 1QF).
Seems that MoD will have a points boost, but despite his two finished events will count (Masters QF and 500 Series SF) and he can collect nice points from the 3 others too (Masters, 500 Series and 250 Series (only if he win this last one :D), so despite these his position not too good, because he lost in the first round of the Greece Grand Slam, while the other 3 players from the Big Four are already in the QF on that event!
Anyway, MoD's performance really impressive that how many finals he has got, but should more focus on the majors ;)

Very nice performance from the others too, Edge, Ollie, ACL Tears etc.

Finally, the 11th event finished!
ACL Tears and awesomeusername are both very thoughtful players, and both in the TOP4, so nothing surprise ;)

https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=20258
Congrats to awesomeusername for his first event win on the Tour!
Here are the TOP16:



Two Challengers were finished too.
Reminder: no Tour points for these Challengers, but the TOP4 win Wild Cards (=Monday invitations) to any Tour events. The winner won 4 Wild Cards, the 2nd won 2 Wild Cards, and the two semifinalists won 1 Wild Card. Just write me (PM or any Tour topic) in which events want to use them.

Yes, I know, if you check I already updated it in the google doc (Events tab).
My forum post is about the end of the last month status, just late a bit :(

Btw, I thought that that tourney will be finished the last from the 2016 events :O
But after NL Sander's defeat you guys were really fast :D
So the first event finished in March:

27. AWP World Tour - Masters 1000 - EastAsia & Oceania
https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=21351
Congratulations to ANT for his first major win, which was his second event win already!
He played on all the Tour event so far (Don the other one :D), and recently his performence getting better and better on the Tour, Arkanton started to play? ;)
With this 1000 points likely he will be in the TOP10 in the next month!
But congrats to Wini as well, his Masters performance incredible so far!
W, F, QF in the finished events, and playing in QF and R32 in ongoing events, really awesome imo.
And congrats to rakleader and Hades too, their performances are really good recently too!
The fights are very exciting for the TOP10 now!
Many good performances but there are only 10 places! :D

Here are the TOP16:

And the "usual" analysis about the ongoing Events based on the updated Events google sheet (actually I checked the most fresh status this morning so based on it not the google sheet :D):
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ao0SlM6Kv6CE1-Ha5mBIrI6nj4Uft2lMaE25qbXxWHs/pub?gid=648212339&output=html

I collected the present finals (F, SF, QF) positions from the ongoing events (+ the Masters 1000 won by ANT), so here are the players with 2 or more finals (the + means still in the event):
  • 6 - MoD (1F+, 1SF, 3QF+, 1QF)
  • 5 - Edge (3QF+, 2QF)
  • 4 - Buns (1SF+, 1SF, 2QF), Panagiotis (1F+, 1SF+, 2QF+), rakleader (1SF+, 1SF, 2QF+)
  • 3 - MIFRAN (1F+, 1SF, 1QF), ACL Tears (1F+, 2QF+), Jackie Treehorn (1SF+, 1SF, 1QF), Wini (1F+, 2QF+), Timinator (1SF+, 1QF+, 1QF)
  • 2 - ANT (1W, 1SF), Ollie (1F+, 1SF+), 13CHRIS37 (1QF+, 1QF), Hades (1SF, 1QF+), awesomeusername (2QF+), Rob (1SF, 1QF+), culpa (2QF+).
Additionally I collected all present major events and QF+ small events point status for the TOP20 + players above + Emu Pub (becuase his GS final), and here are the Rankings based on those present minimum points (in the brackets the possible maximum points from majors):



  • Fight for the first place
    As you can see, Pana's first position is safe enough for a while.
    Only MIFRAN is near to him, but the Swedish genius already out all of the running majors so no chance to collect big additional points in the near future.
    Despite MoD's 6 finals from ongoing events, he hasn't chance neither, because he is only in one Masters final, the rest all smaller events which means very few points for him (because his already strong present best six results)
    Only Buns has got the chance to the overtaking in the near future, because he is still alive in the running Grand Slam (already in the semifinal)

    https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=13002995
    This game is very important regarding the fight for the first place topic.
    If Pana wins this, no chance Buns neither to overtake him in the near future.
    Btw if Pana wins, will be Buns vs. Pana in the semifinal, a very important fight too :O
    If Pana wins that too, he will have a very strong first position, but if Buns wins (and can win the final too) he will join to Pana's and MIFRAN's point levels (4000+)
    I am so excited to see what will be the end of that Grand Slam :D

  • Fight for the TOP10

    Wini, rakleader, ANT, all 3 players run very good recently on the Tour.
    Currently, they are the next "level" after the Big Four, with 2000+ points and all of them have a good chance even to reach the 3000+ level too in the near future! It is certain that they will be in the TOP10 for a while. So left only 3 places for fighting :O And many fighters :D

    FlyingBender missed 5 events (1 Grand Slam, 1 Master, 2 500 Series) during his break, and after his return, he wasn't able to win a game yet :( He was almost on the TOP, but something broke :( He is still in the TOP10, but the others are coming :D

    Milly, DR. Love, Hades the next "level". Hades came forward the most recently, but Milly has got the best growth potential in the near future among the three of them.

    Quicksilver, Ollie and Sultan unfortunately neither of them are in the Rankings business :(
    They skipped a lot of majors, so no real chance to the top...
    But this is not a real problem (only for me who would like a lot them for the Rankings :D ), because the fun of the Tour is not only the Rankings, but the individual events too, I mean win a Tour event is a nice challenge too, there are many hard opponents in every tourney!

    Very interesting that so far, in every Grand Slam there is an "outsider" who reach the final :D DR. Love, Quicksilver and now Emu Pub. And seems that Emu won't stop with this trophy like Quick :P, he start to join the Tour events (so I am so happy :D)

    awesomeusername, ACL Tears and 13CHRIS37, all have got a good chance for points boost! Chris is a veteran, and his fight againts Pana in the Grand Slam was mentioned above. ACL and awesome are not anymore newcomers, they are arrived ;), and I am wonder how long they will reach. I think long :D

    PJ017, my other favorite, is on a long holiday (a big Asian trip), he is relax instead of fighint hard on the Tour... :D

    Still waiting for Timinator's big results :P Joke aside, I am happy he is enjoy the Tour and joining to the events, and I am sure he will start to deliver the good results soon :D

    Ok, I stop writing... I did a new tldr...
    But I enjoyed :D :P

I enjoy itself to make analysis, collect statistics and running this second Tour (beside the ATP Tour), but it is an additional happy for me that you guys enjoy it also (despite my hard Hunglish ;) ).
Especially, since without you I cannot enjoy anything :D So this is a real win-win situation I think :D



In an event's forum topic I "promised" that I will write about my Tour development plans, so...

Immediate roadmap (immediate = months :P ):
  • Create a FAQs for the Tour
    This is a must, because I think many players still don't understand exactly how the Tour works :O
  • Create a better, simpler, more transparent forum/google docs structure for the Tour
  • Choose templates for all the 2017 Tour events, and update the google docs with them.
    And try to involve the community more somehow :O
  • Purge my Tour invitation list (remove alts, inactive players, and not Tour oriented active players)
My other plans (depends on my free time):
Well, what I will 100% do, those the four steps in the “Immediaty roadmap” section.
Likely I will write more news, analysises, statistics too, because as I wrote, I adore this type of activities, but the volume of this posts will strongly depends on my freetime :O

But speaking the remaining points, well, I am not really sure I will implement those (at least for the foreseeable future) :(
Not only because my very few freetime, but I would like a lot to start already the next AWP project!
It is a very exciting one (at least for me :D )
So there is only small chance for more work on AWP World Tour than I wrote above (the first 5 points) :|

But, feel free anyone to pick up one of those idea above, and implement it :P
Or make your own Tour idea. I am very open for any contribution!

I always “envied” how many volunteers the Clan League has got ;)

30. AWP World Tour - 250 Series - Unicorn Island
https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=21761
Congratulations to MIFRAN for his fourth (!) Tour event win.
The TOP2 ranked players were in this final, so it was interesting in Rankings point of view also.
If I count well, left only 50 points different beetwen Pana and MIFRAN after this (and the earlier finished Masters) :O Nice race :D
Congrats to Hades and ANT too, very good runs recently as I wrote earlier.

Ekstone: maybe we can do a livestream focused on AWP one of these days? would serve both as an overview of the current AWP status and as an introduction to it for new players... add me on skype (psenough) so we can discuss dates.

It is a very good idea ps, but I am afraid my English is not enough for this at all :((((
Maybe if we use Hungarian? :D

Joke aside, it is a really good idea, and would be very good if you would do this :)
I don't know, we can chat about these topics (my "chat English" is useable I think), and after that you can do that livestream. With some of the Big Fours for example (inviting them to the livestream instead of me).

The third Grand Slam finished (it was really quick :O ) so congratulation time :D

29. AWP World Tour - Grand Slam - Strategic Greece
https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=21684
Very big congratulations to Buns for his first major event win (this was his third event win btw).
Congrats to Emu Pub too, this was a nice entrants to the Tour! And congrats to Rob and Pana too.
Btw, with this Grand Slam win, with the 2000 points boost, he likely will get the second place in next month.
The present situation is (after 3 finished events in this month):
1. Pana		4510
2. Buns		4270
3. MIFRAN	4100
Very close in the first three positions.
Only one member of the Big Four haven't won any major event yet, MoD.
But based on the pattern, he will win the next Grand Slam (the MA one :O )
Because so far, always one of the Big Four won the Grand Slams (MIFRAN, Pana, Buns) againts a "totally outsiders" (DR. Love, Quicksilcver, Emu Pub) :O
Will MoD really win the MA Grand Slam events? And who will be now the "outsider" in the final?
We will see, but MoD very should win that Grand Slam, not because he tail away from the TOP3 (he has 2495 points now) , but the others are coming hard (Wini (2295), rakleader (2105), ANT (1895), etc.)
I love this race :D

Congratulation to MoD for his first major event win! :D (this was his 5th (!) event wins btw)

Wini's performance on the Masters is incredible so far!
1 Win, 2 Finals, 1 Quarter Final! (so he reached finals in ALL of the 4 Masters so far)!
Big congratulations to Milly and Treehorn as well, very well performance too!
Milly likely will be back to the TOP10 with this result.

Here are the TOP16:




35. AWP World Tour - 250 Series - Malvia
https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=22175
Very big congratulations to Edge for his first Tour event win!
It was likely after his very much finals (I wrote about it in one of my earlier anaylizing post)
Congrats to Swisster too for his first final.
They two did an excellent performances, especially if we check who are behind them in this tourney ;)

Here are the TOP16:
