Not another awful template in the top 40 please :/

Checkmqte, do you know how many games you have to play before you get to vote. I don't see a voting button.

I think you need to reach rank 10, meaning you have unlocked the first 10 quickmatch templates, before you get your first vote.

Ah ok, well I'm a long way from that...... Thanks.

Update (May 8th)

One week since my last update, and once again most groups have shown a fair amount of progress.

This time I've decided to show the changes for each player since last update by adding a + (number of wins since last update) and a - (number of losses since last update) after the win-loss record.

Group 1
Player (wins-losses)

---

PhucilliJerry (8-0) +5 -0
GuestNWHSzY (5-0) +5 -0
Tof (4-0) +4 -0
Checkmqte (4-3) +0 -1
mslasm (3-1) +2 -0
Baer (3-3) +0 -1
jac (3-4) +1 -3
GeniusJKlopp (2-4) +2 -4
Star-Lord (2-5) +2-2
Pavluski (1-2) +1 -2
DrowningManatee (0-6) +0 -4
Syphen (0-7) +0 -5

PhucilliJerry sits on top of Group 1, and really looks like the player to beat. Of course, Guest and Tof still are undefeated, and both are yet to play PJ, so top spot is very much up for grabs! mslasm can't be ruled out either, with 2 wins since last update and only a loss to PJ so far. Star-Lord has rallied after a poor start, with an even record since last update lifting him off the bottom of the group. Baer and Checkmqte have had one loss each since last time to slip down the rankings, and will need to finish strongly.

Group 2
Player (wins-losses)

---

huddyj (7-2) +3 -0
ADHDnl (6-4) +4 -3
kirdol (6-5) +2 -3
dauti (5-0) +4 -0
rocky1 (5-4) +3 -2
KaitoS (3-4) +1 -2
Meldarion (3-5) +0 -1
Cata Cauda (3-5) +3 -2
Matt431 (2-2) +2 -2
Menda (2-5) +1 -3
Bohun (1-1) +1 -1
TianO (0-6) +0 -5

dauti is the best performer since last update, with 4 more wins to climb to 4th place, but with a perfect record. I (huddyj) have continued my comeback from a pair of opening losses, with another 3 wins to sit on top of the table. I can almost taste Group A, but a top-2 spot isn't guaranteed yet, so I'll need to get at least 1 more win. Matt and Bohun are still hard to get a read on, both are on the board, but have split their games. TianO unfortunately has given up a few boot losses, and will be placed in the bottom group next season due to the 3-boot rule

Group 3
Player (wins-losses)

---

Maschder (8-2) +6 -1
AI (8-2) +2 -2
k.o. (6-3) +1 -2
Ragnar Lothbrok (5-1) +4 -1
SNDBX (5-3) +3 -0
Ameter (5-3) +4 -1
Olja (5-4) +1 -2
Diestrmenos (3-6) +1 -2
s1gmoyd (3-8) +2 -1
BlacKnight (1-5) +0 -5
Viking1007 (1-8) +0 -2
Captain Trips (0-5) +0 -5

Maschder has roared to the top of Group 3, with 6 wins since last update, including a very important one over AI. AI also lost a match to Ameter, but has picked up a couple of wins as well to stay in the race for Group A. Ragnar Lothbrok looks good, especially that win over Maschder that could prove crucial if it comes down to tie-breaks. SNDBX has picked up 3 straight wins to keep in touch with the top players, and Ameter is also pushing with 4 wins and a loss since last update. Continuing the unfortunate trend of boot losses, BlacKnight has booted 5 matches since last update, and will be in the bottom group next season (or kicked). Captain Trips also lost 5 matches since last time, but only 1 is through booting, so no kicking happening there. s1gmoyd has played all his games, with 2 wins from his final 3 matches.

Group 4
Player (wins-losses)

---

Suschel (8-0) +3 -0
Rheumakay (6-0) +3 -0
graemes (6-1) +2 -1
Taji (6-4) +1 -1
Thorben (5-5) +2 -1
iNsAnE (4-1) +1 -1
ViralGoat (3-3) +3 -2
Brian the Brave (3-7) +0 -1
lh70 (3-7) +3 -1
Dianne Abrams (1-8) +0 -6
Roele (1-9) +0 -3
Fc Bayern (0-1) +0 -1

Suschel continues to look great, adding another 3 wins since last update, including over graemes and Fc Bayern to hand each of them their first loss. Rheumakay is keeping close though, also with 3 straight wins since last update. iNsAnE and graemes are both still very close, and a few games need to be decided before I'll have any chance of predicting a winner here.

Group 5
Player (wins-losses)

---

bzox (2-0) +2 -0
Seggel (2-1) +2 -1
Kevin Turner (2-2) +2 -2
Dimitris_Wingo (1-0) +0 -0
Hasdrubal (1-0) +0 -0
Hunta (1-0) +0 -0
Wiz Wizz Wizznson (1-0) +0 -0
The Joey (1-0) +0 -0
ARand0mPlayer (1-0) +1 -0
NoobSchool (1-2) +1 -2
Bonsai (0-0) +0 -0
吴克 (0-8) +0 -3

吴克 continues to boot games (another 3). Other games that have been completed are: bzox beats NoobSchool and also Kevin Turner. Seggel also beats Kevin Turner, but loses to ARand0mPlayer. Kevin Turner beats NoobSchool. Bonsai is now the only player in the league yet to finish a match.

Man, my record is the worst! I really have to up my game.

Huddyj nice updates enjoy reading them i hope to get 2nd spot in my group but it wil be really close

If I might make a small suggestion... if you put the player records to the left of their name, they will line up nicely (instead of depending on how long the player name is).

Can’t help but feel like Group 4 is a softer group, not that I’m complaining. Seeded players are up to 18-1 against non-seeded players, although Rheumakay is doing his part to break up the top four seeds.

I guess we’ll find out who was inflated next season!

@huddy, really enjoying the updates! Thank you!

With so many players per group (and so many new faces, for this league) it is a bit hard to keep track of who is doing what, but nice updates huddyj!

I think in my group (Group 1) competition is strong (based on the feel of all my games, won or lost), and as a result of the 4 seeded players I think only Tof has a good chance to win the group. I sure root for PhucilliJerry though, go Apprentice :) (in my game vs. him I attacked neutrals with 1 less army than needed two times, something I haven't done like ever, but his performance is giving me excuse not to be upset about it :). I only lost 1 so far, but the way games are going I will sure lose a couple more, expect to end up at position 4+/-1)

In Group 2 huddyj so far lives up to his high seed, however dauti has the best chance to win the group I think - he only has one loss so far and he won vs huddyj. Some good players I know from the past leagues are somewhere in the middle of the group, so looks like competition is strong in this group as well!

dauti hasn't beaten me just yet! :P

Edit: he has now...

Update (May 19th)

11 days since my last update, with plenty of progress to report.

As well as showing results since last update, I've also indicated which players are seeded in each group for those interested. It's been tough work for seeded players in some groups, but for the most part it looks like they will end at least in the top half of their respective groups.

Group 1

Player            #seed   W-L/since last update

---

PhucilliJerry              8-0/0-0
GuestNWHSzY                8-0/3-0
mslasm              #3     6-2/3-1
Tof                 #4     5-0/1-0
Baer                #1     5-3/2-0
Checkmqte                  5-4/1-1
jac                        5-5/2-1
Pavluski            #2     3-3/2-1
Star-Lord                  3-7/1-2
GeniusJKlopp               3-8/1-4
Syphen                     1-9/1-2
DrowningManatee           0-11/0-5

Group 1 is getting to the pointy end, with Guest, Tof, and PJ all still undefeated to this point! Some of the more significant results since last update are: Guest beats Pavluski to continue his perfect record and take a big step toward Group A next season. Checkmqte beats mslasm, but loses to Genius! Very contrasting results there! mslasm will be disappointed to lose that one, and Checkmqte must be hurting after getting such a big win only to drop a game to one of the bottom players, which surely puts him out of contention now. In summary, only 3 losses and you could still make Group A here, so there are still 5 players in the running.

Group 2

Player            #seed   W-L/since last update

---

huddyj              #1     8-3/1-1
dauti                      7-1/2-1
ADHDnl                     7-4/1-0
rocky1              #4     6-4/1-0
kirdol                     6-5/0-0
Bohun                      5-2/4-1
KaitoS                     4-5/1-1
Meldarion                  4-6/1-1
Matt431             #2     3-5/1-3
Cata Cauda          #3     3-6/0-1
Menda                      3-7/1-2
TianO                      0-8/0-2

Only 3 people are still in the running to win this group, but 5 still have a chance at a top-2 finish. ADHDnl finishes with a crucial victory over Bohun to move into 2nd place for now. dauti surprisingly boots against rocky1 in what looked like a 50-50 game, which keeps rocky in the race! But dauti also gets a win over Menda, and more importantly, he beat me (huddyj) to give himself a great shot at winning the group. I finish off with a win over KaitoS to guarantee a top-3 finish for me, and put the pressure on Bohun and dauti to finish strong. Matt has lost his Group A chance with a bad run of losses to Meldarion, Bohun, and Menda.

Group 3

Player            #seed   W-L/since last update

Maschder                   9-2/1-0
AI                  #1     9-2/1-0
k.o.                       6-3/0-0
Ragnar Lothbrok     #4     8-1/3-0
SNDBX                      6-4/1-1
Ameter              #3     6-4/1-1
Olja                       6-5/1-1
Diestramenos               3-6/0-0
s1gmoyd                    3-8/0-0
BlacKnight          #2     2-8/1-3
Viking1007                 2-9/1-1
Captain Trips              0-8/0-3

Ragnar Lothbrok has his destiny in his own hands here. Winning both remaining matches would see him top the group, 1 win and 1 loss would see a 3-way tie at the top between Ragnar, Maschder, and AI, and 2 losses would see him miss the top two altogether. The crucial matches will be Ragnar vs k.o., which is underway and in the 17th turn at present, and Ragnar vs BlacKnight, currently into turn 10.

Group 4

Player            #seed   W-L/since last update

Suschel             #4     9-0/1-0
Rheumakay                  8-1/2-1
graemes             #2     8-2/2-1
iNsAnE              #1     6-1/2-0
Fc Bayern           #3     6-4/6-3
Taji                       6-5/0-1
Thorben                    5-6/0-1
ViralGoat                  5-6/2-3
Brian the Brave            3-8/0-1
lh70                       3-8/0-1
Roele                      1-10/0-1
Dianne Abrams              1-10/0-2

Rheumakay loses a match to ViralGoat, but makes up for it with good wins over FC Bayern and graemes. graemes also beats FC Bayern, and adds another win against ViralGoat. Suschel beats ViralGoat, as does iNsAnE. Fc Bayern loses to ViralGoat, but beats everyone else below him to probably finish 5th. Top 4 will most likely be made up by Suschel, Rheumakay, graemes, and iNsAnE. Oder still to be determined...

Group 5

Player            #seed   W-L/since last update

The Joey                   5-2/4-2
ARand0mPlayer              4-0/3-0
bzox                       4-1/2-1
Hunta               #1     4-1/3-1
Seggel                     4-2/2-1
Dimitris_Wingo             3-2/2-2
Wiz Wizz Wizznson          2-2/1-2
Kevin Turner        #4     2-3/0-1
Hasdrubal           #3     1-2/0-2
NoobSchool                 1-5/0-3
Bonsai              #2     0-0/0-0
吴克                       0-10/0-2

吴克 continues to boot games (another 2). Bonsai still hasn't finished a match. Wow, just wow! This is small earth people! Not that hard to finish a game... Anyway, excluding boot results, ARand0mPlayer beats bzox and
NoobSchool and looks good so far in second place. The Joey beats Seggel, NoobSchool, Hasdrubal, and Wizznson to sit on top of the group, however lost a game to Hunta and another to Dimitris. Hunta also beat Dimitris and Kevin Turner, but lost to Seggel. Seggel beats NoobSchool. Dimitris beats Hasdrubal. Wizznson beats Dimitris.

Sorry guys, for some reason the [ code ] function for formatted text is messing up the commentary. Will see if I can fix it...

Edit: Fixed it, thanks TBest!

Edited 5/19/2019 08:30:55

Those are some nicely formatted standings! One more game in Group 4 has finished and it's now safe to say that this group was a tale of two cities.

The bottom eight have finished all their games and all will finish with five losses or more. These eight players went a combined 2-30 against the top four players. As the best of the rest, FC Bayern and Taji grab the Group C spots and Thorben and ViralGoat grab the Group D spots.

The top four currently sit like this:

*Suschel is undefeated
*Rheumakay was stunned by ViralGoat but is otherwise undefeated
*iNsAnE was upset by Taji but is otherwise undefeated
*graemes has logged losses to Suschel and Rheumakay, spelling trouble for tiebreaks

Two situations worth mentioning:
graemes (me) has clinched Group B but has a murky path to Group A. Even assuming a win over iNsAnE, I'm riding two losses including a critical loss to Rheumakay. The only path to a top two finish is for iNsAnE and Suschel to drag Rheumakay down to three losses.

Suschel is surprisingly vulnerable despite sitting at 9-0. The problem is that a four-way tie at 9-2 leaves Suschel and graemes getting the short end of stick on tiebreaks.

Edited 5/20/2019 14:58:10

I want to join

Please add me to the incoming season.

Sure guys, I'll add you to the waitlist.

@graemes, that is a fantastic analysis! Feel free to do a break-down of the other groups too. :)

I’m doing mighty fine
