Quick Update:
So M'Hunters and VS are pulling away, LEA continues to lose games, and #CORProblems continue on. Not a lot talk about for those clan, now lets focus on BIA and Hydra. No one (publicly) thought BIA would be doing this well. Hydra and BIA are tied in record/win rate with only 1 point and 1 max point separating them. Hydra and BIA each went 3-3 on 1v1s, and only Hydra has beat BIA on Final Earth. So, the only way for this deadlock to break, is for something to give. Either Hydra or BIA will need to win more games against the other, or one clan's overall team record will need to be better.
So BIA is doing much better then expected, and Hydra is doing much worse right? Not exactly. My goal on 1v1s was an even 15-15 record which we finished 16-14. So we did better then I hoped but not really. On team games how has Hydra done? The data is too soon the tell. Only three 3v3 games have finished; Final Earth 2v2 is almost done but no 2v2 China game have finished. Essentially, neither BIA nor Hydra will know who will come in third.
And why is this non-promotion 3rd place so important all of a sudden? Well, because that clan can easily promote to B next season.
- 101st is splitting in two, would Outlaws or a rebooted 101st truly belong in A if promoted or should they return to the bottom to start again?
- REGL is getting old, will they be around another season?
- Can Apex stand on its own for another season without other elite clans keeping it alive?
- Will AwesomeGuy stepping away from VIW next season mean they have the leadership to run for Clan League another season?
- WG is looking very shaky this season, would they continue on in B if relegated?
All that is needed for one of those things to happen before next season, and for BIA or Hydra to promote they need one hammer to fall.
1v1 ME SR Results:
Clan (Record)
1st M'Hunters (Chromeo) (4-1)
2nd BIA (tartan1314) (3-2, 1-0)
3rd Hydra (ppface) (3-2, 0-1)
4th VS (DemHunt) (2-3, 1-0)
5th CORP (Quicksand) (2-3, 0-1)
6th LEA (the Bloody-Nine) (0-5)
Congrats to M'Hunters and Chromeo for winning this division! M'Hunters has won 3 1v1 tournaments and tied to win 1 more, 4 in total.
ppface loses his last two games against Chromeo and tartan1314 to drop to 3rd place overall. This tournament was the beginning of #CORProblems where Quicksand was booted twice, lost a third game VS but rallied with two wins against M'Hunters and BIA. But Chromeo losing to Quicksand was irrelevant to the final results. No one matched his 4-1 record. And I am obligated to say LEA was here.
