NOTE TO CLAN LEAGUE READERS:
Pages 6-7, 11-12, 15, 17-20, 25-30 pages of Division C need to be avoided as they contain little to no content that pertains to the topic of this thread: Clan League Season 8, Division C.
Week 5 Summary:
Sorry for the delay, but the last day has been very busy for me. We are 5 weeks into Clan League, and 72.12% of games are completed, up marginally from 66.67% completed at the end of Week 4.
Hydra (3-2) this week move up this week, BIA (1-2) this week moves down. What a surprise.....
VS (2-0) and M'Hunters (2-1) this week are both continuing to do well. VS is a bit closer to M'Hunters then they've been in awhile, as well with VS having played two fewer games then M'Hunters, this race for 1st could be tight. If only the race for 1st was more then for bragging rights. A very interesting result, already alluded to by a VS player, is VS beating M'Hunters on 3v3 EU.

And lastly LEA, congrats on breaking your 19 day losing streak where the clan fell from (5-20) to (5-36) before steering out of that skid with 1 win on 1v1 Guiroma. LEA may not reach the 25 points I predicted they would end with. But I have been wrong
many times before.
Let's quickly look at a few games LEA won this season:
- 1v1 Guiroma: Gyver vs. AI: https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=11411003
Gyver won this game, the first game finished this season because of an error on turn 3 by AI where they did not move a stack of armies. Gyver out expanded AI. You can also add in the contributing factor of Gyver started in the safer east, a decent positional advantage. Gyver won this game when their opponent clearly didn't click in their orders correctly.
- 1v1 Greece: BigMeck vs. 1h70: https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=11461817
A boot win on picks
So those two games demonstrate the two types of wins LEA has gotten so far. Gyver beat 3 opponents on 1v1 Guiroma, which is awesome! Then LEA has won 3 games via boot win during picks or turn 1. I will give kudos to Gyver so far for being by far the best LEA player in their lineup. Overall, this is rough though for LEA.
So, with a potential finish of M'Hunters, VS, Hydra, BIA, CORP, LEA, did anyone get it right in the prognostic thread for season 8? No. No responses in that thread had that order. But there are a couple contenders for the most accurate predictions this season:
wakanarai (Blitz): VS, M'Hunters, Hydra, BIA, CORP, LEA
ZeroBlindDragon (Lynx), Tac(ky)tical (Outlaws) KKND (Blitz): M'Hunters, VS, Hydra, CORP, BIA, LEA
So, getting BIA in 4th place and CORP in 5th is
way more important then mixing up getting the order of M'Hunters and VS in 1st and/or 2nd in my opinion. To me, wakanarai has the most accurate prediction so far. Things can change, VS could pass M'Hunters (more likely then a late comeback by CORP to overtake BIA) but wakanarai probably will finish with the best Division C prediction.
