Ah right, that fits in the context, sorry. And no, I examined quite some games in the upper divisions and B has some top players where I hoped our clan would examine the board with the same thoughts.

B will be very stacked next season. Even more than this season; the two clans that obviously were weak for B are getting replaced by two clans that could be promoting or not too far away from promotion this season in B. With Apex, GG or French relegation, the B level will also raise as all of these are probably better than Blitz or us; WG is a bit weaker but is still a B tier clan for sure.

GL for next season, the way I see it, all bets are open. M'H or VS could promote or relegate and I wouldn't be surprised at all. I belive that CL9 B will be very tight, and every point will matter, and that even more than this season's B.

Oh yeah, I'm a scorekeeper. Anything happen? Nope. Well...

It appears MH won 2v2 strat ME although that might be old news.

<3 The Update. TO the point. Avoids controversy!

@Rogue, if CORP wins the final game of 2v2 ME tournament, its a 3-way unbreakable tie for 1st between M'Hunters, CORP and VS. If BIA wins their final game M'Hunters wins undisputed. So yes, M'Hunters has won the tournament but who else isn't set.

And cough, um, I'm rooting for you here CORP.

I wasn't 100% honest that nothing has happening, nothing of importance has happened.

There are 2 Great Lakes games left, a ton of 2v2 China (my own personal horcrux), and the 2v2 ME game that seems will never end. And with only Hydra and BIA potentially swapping spots, yeah, not much of consequence will happen. M'Hunters won by a large margin, VS is second. CORP has evened out will all their boots done (fingers crossed), and LEA is on track to lose every single game for the past 2 months.

But I just realized there is going to be an epic game:

LEA vs. CORP. The "I-play-to-elimination" LEA against the "inactive players" CORP. Yep, that's a thing. I'm very tired and am sort of delirious right now. Peace out.

The Race for Mediocrity:

---

Well here we are. M'Hunters and VS have crossed the finish line and are off celebrating their wins. M'Hunters was last seen several days ago, their bender hasn't ended yet. VS was reported to treat themselves to a glass of chocolate milk instead of regular milk before getting into bed at 10:00 pm. Meanwhile, the two heads of Hydra has been hitting each other over and over, their eyes spinning, legs stumbling forward as BIA walks slowly wondering wtf is up with Hydra. CORP meanwhile has had their legs fall off now are dragging themselves forward with their arms. LEA meanwhile has been fallen on its face right at the beginning. I think a vulture is circling over them, I hope they're ok.

And so here we are, the race for mediocrity. Hydra and BIA. An epic fight for 3rd place. A rivalry that no one knows about, including Hydra and BIA and one this scorekeeper is fabricating for the sake of dramatic tension.


Disclaimer: Yes I am from Hydra and this post will seem very biased but I am trying to be honest. And just to give TBest something to shout at me later: "B-B-B-B-iase!"

So this post is predicated on two assumptions:

• Great Lakes 3v3: Hydra vs. BIA Winner = Hydra
  
• China 2v2: Hydra vs. LEA Winner = Hydra

Those two games are singled out because first, LEA has played awfully so far and there is little reason to doubt Hydra losing to them now, and second based on the current information available to me in the Great Lakes game, Hydra has good positional and income advantages against BIA. Lets assume that both games are won by Hydra, then we are looking at standings for Hydra and BIA that look like this:



Hydra would have 109 points with 1 more game to finish, Great Lakes against M'Hunters, and colour me pessimistic about that game. BIA's max points would be 110 points. They would have zero room error and would need to win their remaining 4 games (3 on 2v2 China and 1 on 2v2 ME). It is possible BIA wins those remaining 4 games but I think others will agree with me, that BIA has a harder road to 3rd place then Hydra.

I am not at all saying Hydra will come 3rd. Only that Hydra arguably has a more likely path to 3rd place then BIA.

I think that description of us in the first paragraph is really accurate, G.E.. Seriously. :D

For all we know though, BIA might have a massive stack hidden nearby, and they are just waiting to use it. Cue the sudden addition of Europe to the Great Lakes.

so did the whole M'Hunters double-accounting get shut down then? I remember reading this thread 2/3 months ago and it was the most discussed thing here.

We won! Are you man enough to congratulate us, tomjh?

Congrats Mhunters, not that I've been following CL8 in the slightest.

Division C Update: Triple Overtime

---

Here we are moving towards the very end game and among those playing Clan League its like the final minutes of triple overtime of a hockey game. The players aren't even touching each other anymore, the players are losing track of the puck and I'm sure a few people are trying to catch a nap on the bench.



Hey, its been awhile since I used my horse race chart. Yay to the return of charts!

There are exactly 5 games left to play: four 2v2 China and 1 Great Lakes game to finish. And as I was told by TBest by those playing for M'Hunters against Hydra "I'm pretty sure one of the M'Hunters plays can get booted now and the game would still be won". Thanks for that and yeah, Great Lakes will likely be done soon.

As to Hydra and BIA, things are still on track for both clans to finish 3rd but lets focus in on the game of century: 2v2 China BIA vs. M'Hunters. M'Hunters is the only clan left with a realistic shot of beating BIA on 2v2 China (Sorry Hydra). With only two games left, BIA has probably a more realistic shot at 3rd place then Hydra now. Of course, who knows what will happen with BIA and M'Hunters on China? But I'm rooting for yeah Super Smoove and Melethron!

Oh, and LEA lost to an AI. Yes, the AI has been improved but it really isn't very smart sometimes. And LEA lost to an AI on 2v2 China. LEA lost the only realistic chance they had winning a single team game. With LEA's final game against Hydra on 2v2 China, LEA is expected to have flamed out of Clan League is spectacular fashion (only rivaled by the incompetence of AOE).

I did talk about LEA's before but lets go over it again as we can talk about all their wins this season. Its easy, there are only 6 wins I have look over.

• 1v1 ME SR the Bloody Nine vs. Quicksand https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=11410996: boot win turn 1
  
• 1v1 Gurioma Gyver vs. AI https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=11411003: AI lost this game turn 3, Gyver was there to collect a win
  
• 1v1 Guiroma Gyver vs. Ink Splatoon https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=11517261: Gyver out picked and played his opponent, good job
  
• 1v1 Guiroma Gyver vs. HankyPinky https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=11466410: Gyver completely outplayed his opponent, good job
  
• 1v1 Greece Ih70 vs. BigMeck https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=11461817: boot win on picks
  
• 1v1 Treasure Map BlackSheep vs. Angry Koala https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=11480854: boot win on picks

So LEA has gotten 6 wins. You can break that down further to 2 games where LEA won the game outright, 1 game their opponent lost the game and 3 boot wins. So while AOE takes the crown of worst clan record this season, LEA isn't that far behind.

Oh, and M'Hunters is on track to have the best win rate this season. Positive news at last!

Well GE, I admit I said that, about the GL game, in a private clan chat, but not as a braggy thing, just an update to the clan.

Are there any games still going on in this div?

Edited 10/12/2016 01:56:52

^

yes.. the china 2v2 tourney is still ongoing, waiting on smoove to commit but hes on vacation

Tabby is right but I don't think GE is updating it very often (which includes correcting mistakes) since he no longer gives weekly updates.

CL spreadsheet fixed. I wasn't going to comment until the final post, but since Super Smoove is on vacation for awhile longer I wont wait another month to address people. There is nothing to say until the final three 2v2 China games end.

except that MH won the GL tourney.

Congrats on that M'H. Very impressive end of CL, I'm looking forward to see your performance in B next season.
