Finally!
[Division A]Place: Clan: Points: Max: W: L:
1st AOE 74 108 22 5
2nd CORP 51 85 15 12
3rd Wolves 45 79 14 13
4th Juggs 45 75 13 15
5th {rp} 44 78 13 14
6th {W.U} 14 47 4 23
There isn't much to comment on AOE. There are some games that could make their points lower, like Death against Lisa, or Zeph+Nergal against Willy and Billy, but their points are now almost ahead of everyone's max points. In a miracle event that they lose all of their games, and some clan wins every one of their games, they could come second, but that isn't realistic and it's hardly possible.
CORP jump from 5th to 2nd! They have a short lead over the next 3 clans, but are basically very narrowly ahead them and they could lose the position easily. Some boots in MME (nothing new here) drag their points down, but generally they're being consistent, scoring 3 wins in most tourneys.
Wolves fall down to 3rd, as their team games reflect how imbalanced their roster was. They had a stellar 1v1 performance, and somewhat strong 2v2s, but now their 3v3 weakness, and some Rise of Rome losses are making a mark. Only their marginal max points keep them ahead of Juggernauts.
Juggernauts continue to close the gap between Wolves and themselves. Considering Des was booted from loads of his games, this is quite a strong performance. They have a 1 point lead over {rp}, so the individual matchups will matter a lot in these last few games.
{rp} more than
double their points, in a final winning streak to avoid relegation. Perhaps the early stages were wrong which showed {rp} going along with {W.U} to relegate. Contrary to Wolves, {rp}'s strengths are in teams, which proved to be true again, like in RPCL1. Will they avoid relegation? They could easily finish anywhere between 2nd and 5th, depending on how these last crucial matchups will be.
What made {W.U} drop badly? My thought is somewhat complacency. I think it's due to the fact they wanted a more inclusive roster this time around, but with the clans they wanted to score the most wins against doing the exact opposite, they found themselves on the bottom end of this season. I hope to see them again next season, and hopefully promote to restore their podium-spot-glory!
We're no longer looking to see who will get 1st. That's easy, AOE have it. We're not even seeing who will get 2nd and 3rd. The main position to
avoid now, is 5th. Easily, CORP, Wolves, Juggernauts or {rp} could take that 5th position if they lose too much.
Will slow-playing CORP be exposed as stallers and have their delayed losses push them back to 5th?
Are the Wolves' lack of emphasis on team games going to drag them from the top to the bottom?
Will the Juggernauts be outperformed by the other clans, and surprisingly relegate?
Will {rp}'s star-studded comeback halt and push them right back down to 5th, or will it continue to leave 5th to another clan's fate?
