GL&HF!

My busy times are over, now I have more time for Warlight again, hallelujah! :)
So...

First, I make the congrats post for the only finished event in July.
Then I made a short monthly post (and the necessary update work before...) for July
(then I carry on the work with this month (the only problem is that the USO will start tomorrow :O))

94. AWP World Tour - 500 Series - Poland
https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=25159
Congratulations to kicorse for his 2nd Tour event win!

Here are the TOP16:

Monthly Tour and Tour Race Update - 07/2018
The tables below are based on the status of the 1st of August.

This is an irregular monthly update, because I had no time for full updates and only one event finished in July, I did only the two Ranking List update. From next month (in the next week) will be full updates again.

• The TOP10 on the Tour after July:
  
  
  
  Congratulations to Timinator for his 5th consecutive month in the first position!
  
  You can find the full list here:

• The TOP20 on the 2018 Tour Race after July:
  
  
  
  You can find the full list here (with all 2018 results and records sheets):

  Only one 500 Series event finished in July, and kicorse won that, which means he was able to increase his advantage. Although Quicksilver with that SF still follow him close.
  
  They two are the dominator of 2018 so far (although only 14 of 50 events finished).
  And Timinator is too, despite his point disadvantage now.
  And maybe rakleader will focus again on the Tour, after he led the Ninjas to the Clan League A divison ;)
  And hope will be much more hard aspirants for the TOP8 to reach the year-end event :D
  Who will be that 8 players who will fight for the year-end trophy?
  GL&HF!

Two events finished in August, so congrats time!

93. AWP World Tour - 250 Series - Fast Earth
https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=25149
Congratulations to kicorse for his 3rd Tour event win!

Here are the TOP16:




96. AWP World Tour - 250 Series - Georgia ArmyCap Bomb
https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=25240
Congratulations to kicorse for his 4th (!) Tour event win!

Here are the TOP16:




Very impressive performance from kicorse!
Not only that he won the last three finished events (he is the only winner for months ;) ), but if you check he has got very very much finals positions in many ongoing events where he is still fight for newer event wins (and points)! :O

So, two very strong pretenders arrived to challenge the reigning King, Timinator!
Quicksilver and kicorse will give him I good figth for the year end first position race I think.
And I hope, that after he led the Ninjas to the CL-A, rakleader will focus again to the Tour and get back in the race again :)
Aaaand, if I speak hopes, I hope too that Buns finally start to play on smaller events to give himself a chance to the first spots too.
That would be a bloody fight for the first place between that magical 5! :D
Come on guys we need the show! ;)

I thought 8 was the magic number?

you know I just realized I never knew what AWP stood for till now XD

Has the last slam of the year started already?

Not until October I think.

I thought 8 was the magic number?

You are right, 8 potential number one aspirants is better than 5. ;)
Seriously, it would be cool if the 8 player who qualifier to the Tour Final, still will have the chance to reach the first place :O
That would be very exciting, so come on guys! ;)

you know I just realized I never knew what AWP stood for till now XD

The gun? ;)

Has the last slam of the year started already?

kicorse is right, it will start on the first Monday of October.
I will update the "Future event schedules" section here soon.

So there's to be an event modelled on the ATP Finals? Will it have a group stage and be worth 1500 points like the ATP event, or just a simple knockout?

I guess it will start in spring 2019 after every other 2018 tournament is finished?

Nice idea!

Yes, despite it's name is the year end Tour Final, it will be around in spring 2019 (when all the 2018 events will be finished, you are right)

And the event details are not finished yet regarding the exact format, but won't be group stage like in the tennis ATP Finals, "only" knockout, but not a simple one! I mean, not a single elimination Warzone tournament for 8 players, but the games will be created manually. Becuase will be best of X rounds format instead of only the one win game wich possible with the single elimination WZ tourney, with personally choosed templates (and vetos and etc.).

And I am not sure about if it will give points too or "only" the World Champion title, but likely will give points too, just like the ATP Finals.

Soon, I will clarify the exact format.
You just try to finish in the TOP8, because it will be cool party ;)

Hey! Could you put me on the invitation list again? :)

Btw, I am waiting for ideas for the template choosing method for the Tour Final!

I mean, for example the Tour Final quarter finals will be best of 5 fights (just an example, QF likely will be less, best of 3 for example, and only the SF and F will be more), it means we need 9 templates, and 4-4 can be choosed by the players individually from a predefinied template pools.
Or can be more template pool, one template from WR template (from Grass season) pool, one from weird template (from Clay season) and 2 from SR template (from Hard season) pool. And one more additional template from any pool.
And the players can veto 1 template from the opponents choosed templates, so finally remain 4+4 templates, and we need a deciding template too, if the results is 4-4 after 8 fights. It can be determined by rounds.

But this is only one idea, tell me your ideas ;)

@AI: done

Sorry for my confusion, when does the new season start? Since if there's a AWP final that means that's the end of that AWP season right?

Monthly Tour Race Update - 08/2018

The TOP20 on the 2018 Tour Race after August:



You can find the full list here (with all 2018 results and records sheets):
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRKNBwvRorFEr2MG_9-iz-_bddWXGOBsC9-T2lBWIXahy2EfN4OPIORndhmpDtdnRKDrKV1yshf17Ax/pubhtml

The star of this update is clearly kicorse!
Not only because he won both two events which finished in the last month, but check the Ongoing events finals table above, end of the August he was on 7 ongoing finals, and in all the 7 he was unbeaten yet (2 F, 2 SF, 3 QF!), which mean huge additional points potential for him! So we easy say that we have a new challenger to the current ruler, Timinator!
Kicorse already has got 3365 points in the Race, which very likely guarantee him the year-end TOP8 thus the participation in the Tour Final (because never was the 8th player have more than 3000 points so far). So I think, we can say we have the first player in the year end event, congrats m8!
Timinator and Quicksilver need hard fights in the remained events to catch him.
Ah, and kicorse gained the first place from Quicksilver in the Best Win% ranking (88% vs 87%)! :O

Because only two 250 Series events finished, not too much changes in the Rankings (expect kicorse, but we have already mentioned him ;) ). Still so many players have good chance to finish in the TOP8 and participate in the Tour Final. Still only 16 of 50 events finished, so 68% of the events still open.

Who will be that 8 players who will fight for the year-end trophy?
