In liu of a comprehensive update, I will give a quick update with a little more detail.

Quick Update: By Points Scored:

Sninja			6
WG			4
FCC			3
Statisticians		3
TJC			3
Hyra			0

Quick Update: By Max Points:

Sninja		200
Statisticains	200
WG		197
TJC		197
Hydra`		194
FCC		193

Alphabetical Analysis of Each Clan:

FCC:
A definition of paying for a manager's mistake. Placing in dippy without realizing he was not leveled to play it was my fault and solely my fault. I take responsibility for the lost points. On the 1v1 side, Elizijaus takes the W over Milly, and Nano_Midget Loses to razor. So FCC has three points, but 2 losses alongside it. Seems an early hole was dug. This team is going to have to push back before the early hole becomes an early grave.

Hydra:
Hydra Lost its first two 1v1 games against FCC and Statisticians, and have yet to win a single game as of yet. However, its early, so we shall have yet to see where Great Expanse's brainchild without Great Expanse will trend.

Sninja:
Sninja starts off hot, thanks to two quick wins against Verzehrer of WG and Ikillu of TJC. 2-0 in the 1v1 category posits them into an early lead. I wish them the best of luck.

Statisticians:
One completed 1v1 game for the statisticians, and along with Sninja, are the only teams yet to have a loss. Yeon's defeat of Milly hopefully suggests the player is back and taking clan league more seriously this time around.

TJC:
TJC is 1 and 1 in the 1v1 column to start off, with a win logged against FCC and a loss against Sninja. As always, still too early to tell which direction this clan is headed.

WG:
With a gift from FCC, WG now has 4 points to counteract their first loss against Sninja. Not much ado otherwise.

This is, as expected, still wide open, and we shall see how this division evolves as time progresses.

For some reason I get an error when I try to visit div B page on the CL site :/

Fixed.

When building the progression, will recall T-24 this timestamp.

In liu of a comprehensive update, (once again, due to school demands), I will give a quick update with a little more detail.

Quick Update: By Points Scored:

Sninja			9
WG			7
TJC			6
FCC			3
Statisticians		3
Hydra			0

Quick Update: By Max Points:

Sninja		200
Statisticains	197
WG		197
TJC		197
Hydra		191
FCC		190

Alphabetical Analysis of Each Clan:

FCC:
FCC continues to bleed, as Eliziejaus unexpectedly goes inactive, and Nanomidget drops a few games. It looks like FCC might be unable to avoid the inevitable.

Hydra:
Hydra drops another 1v1 game, and is still looking for its first win of the season.

Sninja:
Sninja adds another win, and continues to maintain first place. They are now the only team who have not yet lost a game.

Statisticians:
With dry-clean-only bettering Jackie Treehorn, statisticians is handed its first loss of the season.

TJC:
TJC's win against statisticians posits them at 2-1 for their 1v1 record. They sit nicely to contend right now.

WG:
WG adds a 1v1 giving them now 7 points overall.

This is, as expected, still wide open, and we shall see how this division evolves as time progresses.

Hydra ain't so hot right now :O

Comprehensive Update I:

Well, school was intense. Now I have finals to contend with. At least this time I can spare a little time and give you guys somewhat of a better update.

Yea, I apologize for my sad alternativies to updates, as well as I sincerely apologize for the poor play FCC has dished out. Its all my fault, I swear. Well, maybe not. We were thin to start. But then we lost Eliziejaus AND Phantom Assasions, as well as Shaikh going inactive to the point where we removed him from the clan after roster deadline, then showed up right before clan league started (learned that lesson the hard way). At least he is back. Midseason will be intersting tho. Going to have to maximize those substitutions. It would be nice to get some better players on the roster. Maybe Bannana will be back up to speed by then. Who knows. What I do know is at this point I would be blessed if FCC stayed in B. In any case, here is what you all really wanted, a bunch of stats!

The Horse Race:

Analysis:

I think what is most surprising so far this clan league is that sninja is in first, and WG is in fourth, at this stage. Most people thought that WG would pretty much take this one, but its shaping up to be more competative than expected, with unexpected good showings by TJC and statisticians. Indeed, Sninja's dominance thus far is profound, and still remains the sole undefeated team in this division. Contrast to second place which is already 6 points behind.

We are starting to see a divide between the top four and bottom two clans. Hydra and FCC seem destined to relegate at this rate, unless something changes, and fast. Otherwise, its a fierce fight for the top four. FCC's floundering does not come as a suprise, however Hydra had the talent to do well, so their poor performance is surprising. Nevertheless, it would not be a surprise if the divide continues to grow, unless the midseason registration window can save these clans.

TJC might actually promote to A if they can keep up the pace. Of course, this is still very much wide open, and still anything could happen. Stay tuned!

Have some hope, only one clan will relegate from B!

My bad. I'm stuck in the 2-clan mindset lol.

Don't worry Aura. I am sure, with your good recruiting, after mid season FCC is going to do well.

Who going to be the one to stand up and get first blood against Sninja...

Nice update btw

Rikku, TJC on EU? #TJCHYPE

Have to go through Waddles first!

Comprehensive Update II:

Here we are. The second comprehensive update. Summer is here. Finals are done. Let aura actually post a good one!

Awkward Silence in the room.

This guys, is why I don't do stand up comedy. In any case, I can't force humor. It has to come naturally. Nor can you force good play. That also has to come naturally. Hydra's persistant under performing proves that to us. They still be have only six points courtesy of milly. It looks like FCC's team games vs Hydra will be the deciding factor when it comes to which of these two top-quality clans will relegate as both continue to bleed points with no want for them in return. Not to mention, FCC is down to 6 substitutes. Ouch. Wonder how that is going to affect their mid-season substitutions. Speaking of which, here is your list of remaining substitutions:

Substitutions

Sninja:			10
WG:			10
TJC: 			10
Hydra:  		10
Statisticians:   	9
FCC:			6

So yea, that mixing/matching thing isn't going so hot. Besides stats, no other team except FCC has used substitutions at this point. That's a pretty good sign for these teams. And here is the other thing everybody wanted: an update of those points themselves.

Yup... Sninja is slaughtering WG... not to mention everyone else. Very impressive performance. It is like they are wiping the floor with the rest of the division. And spitting on it. And then wiping it again. Just to make sure that no scent is there but their squeaky clean smell of victory.

The Horse Race:



Progressions:



Analysis:

Statisticians didnt get a win this week and also lost a pair of team games, making us wonder if our first impressions were off and they are starting to regress back to their mean. Sorry, I had to do that one.

Will the real statisticians please stand up?

So in any case, stats are now having a desire to be outliers. Leaving us with three clans neck and neck for the top three spots: WG, TJC, and Sninja. TJC are holding on in the secured points category, but slipped a bit in max points, placing them behind WG and stats by one point. Besides Sninja, who seems to be fast-tracking their way into a promotion slot, the other slot currently has no clarity whatsoever. It will be interesting to see whether TJC surprising performance continues, and if they can knock WG out of their promotion slot that seemed all but guaranteed at this point.

We have talked about the failings of FCC and Hydra at this point, but Hydra currently has the lever on FCC on avoiding the relegation, with far more max points possible. Can FCC twist fate? Or will Hydra just limp out of this season? Tune in next week... to the Clan League Zone.

Bonus coverage:

As some of you might or might not know, I am a meteorology major. As a result, I am inclined to give a forecast on the conditions I expect for each team. Interpret it as you wish.

FCC -> Stratiform rain, followed by clearing.
Hydra -> Cloudy followed by stratiform rain.
WG -> Clear Skies.
TJC -> Afternoon Thunderstorms
Statisticians -> Floodwaters continue to rise.
Sninja -> TORNADO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As always, forecasts should be weighed as they are: predictions. They can never be 100%.

Edited 5/6/2018 04:29:15

Why didn't sninja just spit on the floor first? That way they don't have to wipe it twice.

Will the real statisticians please stand up?

What do you want from me? ;-)
I still haven't finished a game.

Yeah, I have yet to play an SNinja or TJC team.
