On move order, I don't feel as strongly about this as SR/WR luck.

You forgot the most important thing I said lol.

Well, despite i'm really fine with new 1v1 ladders settings, personally i would prefer this to remain as it is now. And in case of split i would surely follow Pushover. Some variety is nice (and it's probably no secret i'm playing too many 0% SR games;P) and if Fizzer opt not to revert ladder to previous settings, this competitions will surely atract many new players.

Yeah, I would leave the league as it is now. I wanted %0 WR badly this season and we got that. No need to change it I think.

Also, can we get an update Push?

Puuuush?????

I think Pushover is waiting for one of Timinator's games to end cause that will give influence towards who might win etc.

Nah, I was busy, I am actually visiting a friend in another city right now!

GROUP A
Krzychu (4-1)
Jefferspin (4-2)
FlyingBender (4-2)
Master Miyagi • apex (1-1)
timon92 (2-3)
grona • apex (2-3)
Ineffable (0-5)

Krzychu and others still waiting for the group's deciding games against Miyagi - all remaining games are against Miyagi you slow butt. :P Meanwhile Ineffable is guaranteed to relegate, and timon has the tiebreaker over grona for the relegation battle.

GROUP B
Mirror (2-0)
his balls. (2-2)
Tenshi (1-1)
Falker (1-1)
Metatron (1-1)
Orange (1-2)
Frankdeslimste • apex (0-1)

Group is finally starting to take shape now that some games have finished. That shape, however, is ambiguous as all hell. A very competitive group! Mirror has the early lead but anything can happen.

GROUP C
Master Turtle (4-1)
Timinator (2-0)
Pushover (3-2)
[WM] Old Surehand (2-2)
Beren Erchamion (2-2)
Master Atom ◆Elite◆ (2-4)
Bigchps147 (1-5)

Timinator is still undefeated, while Turtle has won all his games except against me and a pending game against Timi. It seems most likely that Timi and Turtle would promote - interesting because they were the promotions from D last season. Will group C just be a bus stop on the way to the top? (Looking at you group E) I still have a chance to promote but that requires me beating Timi. Meanwhile the two relegation spots are now certain: Atom and Bigchps will drop. Old Surehand has 2 boot losses already - he's gotten a reputation of being just active enough to stick around, but not inactive enough to just be dropped from the league already.

GROUP D
Master Bjarke (6-0) - WINNER
rocky1 (5-1)
Maréchal Lannes, duc de Montebello (3-2)
JV (2-2)
ferede (1-4)
smileyleg {TJC} (1-5)
Andersault (1-5)

Congrats to Bjarke for winning group D with an undefeated record! rocky1 will promote along with him. JV has both remaining games, but he can only affect the relegation battle. If ferede beats JV, then he narrowly avoids relegation. If he loses, the him, smileyleg, and Andersault will be in an unbreakable tie for last place. In this scenario it wouldn't surprise me for all three players to relegate!

GROUP E
Master of the Dead (4-1)
Verzehrer (3-1)
Dr. Walter Ego (2-1)
Darkpie (2-2)
Ollie (3-3)
ps (2-4)
Wenyun (0-4)

Ahhh the infamous group E. MoTD continues to win big, but he'll need one last win against Dr. Walter Ego if he's to claim the group win. Any of the top three could win this, but MoTD has already beaten Verzehrer. Wenyun looks like he's going to drop, and ps is also in danger, but his win against Darkpie could save him if Darkpie loses his final two games. (But this means Darkpie would have to lose to Wenyun... not looking good for ps)

GROUP F
ChrisCMU (4-0)
Don [ Ω ] (5-1)
BlacKnight (2-2)
[NL] ARand0mPlayer (2-3)
Polakillo (1-2)
NoobSchool (AHoL) • apex (0-0)
ChristophU (0-2)
[REGL] bobbob000 (0-4)

ChrisCMU has beaten Don in a game that might decide the winner of the group. Random player's win against ChristophU could prevent relegation. Noobschool has still not completed a game, making him the slowest player of the season so far. Come on Noob even Frank was able to finish a game!

GROUP G - FINISHED
master of desaster (4-1, 1-0) - WINNER
linberson (4-1, 0-1)
<SNinja> almosttricky (3-2)
Oh Noes (2-3, 1-0)
Taishō (2-3, 0-1)
Auroch (0-5)

Oh no! Taisho was in perfect position to win the group after starting 2-0 and beating MoD, but then he loses 3 straight and finishes second to last! MoD beats linberson to take the group (congrats!), with liberson finishing just behind for the other guaranteed promotion spot. Auroch goes winless and will certainly relegate.

GROUP H
Peixoto (2-0)
Stormers (2-1)
Great Expanse (1-1)
J0twe (0-3)

Peixoto and Great Expanse are still playing; the game's in turn 7.

GROUP I - FINISHED
The Glorious Koala (4-0) - WINNER
butterfly94 (3-1)
MightySpeck (2-2)
indibob (1-3)
[WOLF] Colonel H Cardwell (0-4)

GROUP J1 - FINISHED
USA Biches (6-1, 1-0) - WINNER
Buns157 (6-1, 0-1)
Gimli (5-2, 1-0)
Hostile (5-2, 0-1)
Fleecemaster (3-4)
Platinum (2-5)
Ω Cat Juggernaut (Tom's Guardian Angel) (1-6)
Bayern München is the best! (0-7)

USA Bitches wins his final game to win the most competitive of the noob groups! Turtles take both top spots.

GROUP J2
Hades (5-1)
Benjamin628 (5-1)
awesomeusername (4-1)
+SAM+ (3-2)
Des (2-4)
Ryzys (1-5)
Jack (0-6)

I was premature to call the group for Hades! awesomeusername has put on a heck of a run, including a win against Hades, and if he wins his final game against SAM there will be a 3 way unbreakable tie for first place in this group!

GROUP J3
Kain (3-0)
The Cruelest (3-1)
Indiana Jones (3-1)
Arkanton (3-2)
ipg (1-4)
Chewie (0-5) - Will be removed for inactivity

Arkanton finishes with a 3-2 record and could end up as low as 4th! Meanwhile, Kain's final two games against The Cruelist and Indiana Jones will decide the group. Note that The Cruelest has tiebreaker of Indiana Jones.

Nah, I was busy, I am actually visiting a friend in another city right now!

Don`t lie to us Push, we know you don`t have friends ;)

I wanted to quickly update group A cause I found new developments to be interesting...

GROUP A
Krzychu (4-1)
Jefferspin (4-2)
FlyingBender (4-2)
timon92 (3-3)
grona • apex (2-3)
Master Miyagi • apex (1-2)
Ineffable (0-5)

timon92 has beaten Miyagi, now what does this mean for the group? timon now avoids relegation with certainty, and Miyagi must win all three of his remaining games to get to 4-2. If he does so, then there will be 4 players at 4-2: Krzychu, Jefferspin, FlyingBender, and Miyagi. Who wins the tiebreaker? It turns out... Miyagi! If Miyagi doesn't win out, but still beats Krzychu, then the tiebreaker between the top 3 would go to Jefferspin. And, of course, if Krzychu beats Miyagi then none of this matters and he will win Season 17. Unfortunately, FlyingBender has no chance to win group A this season.

Meanwhile, Miyagi's match with grona ends up deciding the second relegation spot: loser relegates! This is because Miyagi would lose tiebreakers to both timon and grona, even if he wins against Ineffable and Krzychu.

Yeah, I am playing Noobschool and he is taking 2 plus days every turn. Not even doing back to back turns same day :)

I won J3. Does this mean I can move up next season?

Edited 10/8/2015 22:39:49

you'll move up faster than the players you finished ahead of

I can only lose my division if noobschool goes undefeated. He is still playing slow

Also, i would assume Ineffable is gettimg booted since he has gone inactive

Edited 10/12/2015 11:24:11

i think ineffable is quite active, he got booted from some games after his vacations ended, but he is back.

Krzychu you should probably lose to Miyagi.

No. Go crazy chew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

With group A finished I'll do another league wide update

GROUP A - FINISHED
Krzychu (5-1) - WINNER
Jefferspin (4-2, 1-0)
FlyingBender (4-2, 0-1)
timon92 (3-3, 1-0)
grona • apex (3-3, 0-1)
Ineffable (1-5, 1-0)
Master Miyagi • apex (1-5, 0-1)

Congrats to Krzychu for winning season 17 of the promotion/relegation league with an impressive 5-1 record, and without having to resort to tiebreakers! Miyagi ended up losing all his crucial games; at the end of the season, he opted to surrender to Ineffable because the game would have been meaningless in the relegation battle. But because of this, Ineffable teeechnically isn't inactive and won't be removed from the league. He booted 2 of the final 3 games, and Miyagi prevented the 3rd boot. What a pal!

GROUP B
Mirror (3-0)
Falker (3-2)
Orange (2-2)
his balls. (2-2)
Metatron (1-1)
Tenshi (1-2)
Frankdeslimste • apex (0-3)

There is still plenty to be played in group B, but Mirror has shot up to a commanding lead. However, in a tough group like this, no lead appears to be safe. Frank is on the ropes with a disappointing start, he really needs to get some wins if he doesn't want to relegate for the 2nd time in 3 seasons.

GROUP C
Master Turtle (4-1)
Timinator (2-0)
Pushover (3-2)
[WM] Old Surehand (2-2)
Beren Erchamion (2-2)
Master Atom ◆Elite◆ (2-4)
Bigchps147 (1-5)

Absolutely nothing has changed from the last update. I guess we were fed up with group B consistently being slower than us, and we wanted to show them!

GROUP D
Master Bjarke (6-0) - WINNER
rocky1 (5-1)
Maréchal Lannes, duc de Montebello (4-2)
JV (2-3)
ferede (1-4)
smileyleg {TJC} (1-5)
Andersault (1-5)

JV lost one of his remaining games, and his final game against ferede is still going on, now in turn 13. ferede must win to avoid a 3 way tie for last place.

GROUP E
Master of the Dead (5-1) - WINNER
Verzehrer (5-1)
Ollie (3-3)
Darkpie (2-3)
Dr. Walter Ego (2-4)
ps (2-4)
Wenyun (1-4)

Congrats to Master of the Dead for beating Dr. Walter Ego and securing a group E win! Verzehrer grabs the other promotion spot. Meanwhile, Dr. Walter Ego has lost his final 3 games! In fact he declined to even play his final game against Verzehrer... was this wise? There is one remaining game between Darkpie and Wenyun. If Darkpie wins, then Dr. Walter ego avoids relegation by tiebreaker against ps. If Wenyun wins, we have a 4 way tie at the bottom of the group, and due to tiebreakers it would be Dr. Walter Ego and Darkpie relegating! So no, Mr. Ego Sir, you're a dumbass!

Actually I haven't seen this sort of situation before... Wenyun is playing for both him and ps to avoid relegation. Darkpie is playing for both him and Dr. Walter Ego to avoid relegation. Tiebreaker madness!

GROUP F
ChrisCMU (6-0)
Don [ Ω ] (5-1)
Polakillo (2-2)
[NL] ARand0mPlayer (2-3)
BlacKnight (2-4)
ChristophU (1-4)
[REGL] bobbob000 (1-5)
NoobSchool (AHoL) • apex (0-0)

Noobschool, this is ridiculous. I'm symbolically placing you at the end of the standings until you can finish a damn game. Otherwise the situation is exactly as ChrisCMU describes in his comment above.

GROUP G - FINISHED
master of desaster (4-1, 1-0) - WINNER
linberson (4-1, 0-1)

GROUP J3 - FINISHED
The Cruelest (4-1, 1-0) - WINNER
Indiana Jones (4-1, 0-1)
Kain (3-2, 1-0)
Arkanton (3-2, 0-1)
ipg (1-4)
Chewie (0-5) - Will be removed for inactivity

Kain was unable to beat either The Cruelest or Indiana Jones, and therefore The Cruelest wins the group by tiebreaker! Congrats!

Yeah, sorry Jeff :P I've noticed that nobody likes you here, but i hope you don't take it personally :D

Congrats Krzychu

Harsh

Please do take it personally, Jeff.
