As good as Brisk is, I expected 125ch to come out on top on this template!

Brisk is the youngest person to rank #1 on the 1v1 ladder as far as I'm aware(12 or 13 years old!). He only plays MD amongst friends which is why no one knows anything about him :P

Tough blow for french although it is the beginning so anything can happen :P

Hear that Plat? You still have at least 5 years to get #1 before you get older than brisk was!

I'm sorry. I will edit my comment, then.

GG is still unbeatean and going strong. All the other clans have had very similar returns thus far. WG needs to pick up some wins soon to keep up with the rest of the pack.

Edited 6/29/2016 00:41:43

My thoughts on this so far

Apex seem to be on a average start for contenders to win the division 2-3 on the 1v1s nothing hugely wrong though not leading the pack

GG quite possibly the depth will be very exploited on the 1v1s (5/6 players which is ideal) great start 4-0 to be honest if GG can make a really good performance on the team games the clan can be dark horses for the CL8 win. Though boots are really not going to help 1 boot means an AI will make a mistake which is huge in this level. But yeah good start on the 1v1s can they keep it up for the team games?

WG, Miserable start to be honest (1-5) for a clan that is potentially favourites to relegate this is not an ideal start especially with a player like Oh noes losing 0-3 which is not what you want. Really you don't want to lose ground on the 1v1s too much and rely on the team games which is a risky business. WG need to pick it up and not allow that loss number to grow.

French, Having a fairly good start to the 1v1s with a healthy (4-4) I honestly think French can avoid relegation aslong as the team games will not crumble, Though I've got to note that the rule change from CL7 that a player can only play only 3 previously changed from 4 will hurt such a competitive clan like French and I could see this as a toll on the team games and it really does need some of the unused french players from last season like Fred and Lannes? (Correct me if I'm wrong) to step up to the plate and prove there worth on the templates. I don't think French can win the League unless they have a very good start on the 1v1s which is going to be tough BUT without a huge collapse in team games and a smart tactic to over-prioritise the Great Lakes over EU they defintely should survive no doubts just about how far can they go.

Masters, The so called favourites of the league. Again a easy going (4-4) record is defintely going to keep them in tact. What I think will be a telling tale for this clan in regards on how they do in clan league is how they cope with the pressure. WarLight is a mental game and have the clan been tested as a clan mentally? Group B last season in a skill-gap group no pressure! Group A? Every game is pressure ;) So really for the 1v1s more so is how the players cope with the pressure more than anything and perform i think this will be a effect for the first 1-2 games really but that could be all the difference and has to be mentioned! In the team games Masters are just equipped for battle I can see them doing excellent and should be looking to really do well and get them to that 1st place, If they can get a fair 1v1 performance (nothing lower than 3-3) and manage an excellent team performance they could win clan league and 3-3 is probably able for masters to get tbh so yeah I think Masters has a really good chance at winning clan league depending on how other clans do at the team games but all that matters is a average-good performance on the 1v1s and not lose much ground and wipe clans from the team games ;)

Icelandic Turtles, First of all the clan has improved so much and has really emerged as the new elite clan established. Excellent players and attitude, Deserve good fortune. The depth though is an issue and they would really be taking the French approach and use every good player to put in 3 tournaments with the exception of Turkish who is on only 1 tournament surely for a reason right? This is a big test for the clan and really a good performance is needed from everybody and not allow 3 tournaments on the big players hurt the consistency of the players that's the most important thing. They are going to be an interesting clan to watch... Performance is really important here, If they fail to perform relegation if they can perform to a reasonable level they could avoid the drop. I think the 3v3s will be very telling on how they perform as the real firepower is on the 1v1 and 2v2s now is that firepower enough to get them pass that relegation drop? Very risky and they would need points from the 3v3s. All very good players I respect them alot but the performance is the key for the them here and the 3v3s need to pull off some surprises to aid the cause.

Lynx, Another clan tipped for relegation personally I find that very hard to believe, We see players like GreenTea , Dom , Arkanton and a seemingly new firepower ZeroBlindDragon along with very other capable players I think the experience and the star quality is a bit too much for the relegation tag to be put on them they are a very skillful clan. (3-4) record so far is definitely better than WG and Apex even XD so Lynx are defintely doing better than expected. I do think the 1v1s will be edgy and will determine how good the team games will need to do to maintain status in A or even pressure and contend for the top spots. Arkanton + ZeroBlindDragon with Rooob and many others will be powering the team games so I think Lynx can consider themselves strong on the team games perspective. It's really going to be interesting how the 1v1s go tbh but they are going really relatively ok and defintely shouldn't be posed into the relegation battle as strong as people think, I see this clan really progressing and changing peoples opinions of them as opposed to the CL7 fiasco of Darkpie getting booted in 4 tournaments.

Is the updates for A going to be daily just like the other group threads or will the updates be slower since A games tend to be more of a standstill?

GG finally lose a game. MG boots against Jz. He was in the weaker position though with 7vs9 income. He has another game waiting on him for 2 days and 18 hours against Timinator. Hope he can make his move in time. Regardless it's been an impressive start by GG.

Masters grab 3 wins in a day to improve their win percentages significantly. French grab another win and keep picking up points. WG are sliding quickly and have made a wretched start. Still plenty of time to catch up though.

tl;dr

                        Predicted Points

1st     GG                    141
2nd     Master                136
3rd     French                124
4th     Icelandic Turtles     123
5th     Apex                  109
6th     Lynx                  109
7th     WG                     95

Honestly, I believe this was mentioned somewhere, but the standings should be portrayed as a percentage of games won and loss by games remaining. More like predictive scoring based on current results combined with potential results.

So for example:

Masters have 25 points being 7-3,1-0,0-0

1v1:
7-3 with 26 games remaining
Current win %: 70%

Every game is 50/50 as anyone can win any game, but including adjusting for trends, we would see the "predicted" results being closer to the average of current and this 50/50, or 60%. Which means that should have the following predictive score in the rest of their matches:

26 games x 3 points = 78 possible points => 47 more points

Total 1v1: 21+47= 68 points

You do the same for 2v2 and 3v3

2v2:
(ignoring the 1 win because by itself, skews the results too much early on)

17 games x 4 points = 68 points => 34 more points

Total 2v2: 4+34= 38 points

3v3:

12 games x 5 points = 60 possible points => 30 more points

Total 3v3: 0+30= 30 points

TOTAL: 68+38+30= 136 points

You do this for the rest and you get the following:

                        Predicted Points

1st     GG                    141
2nd     Master                136
3rd     French                124
4th     Icelandic Turtles     123
5th     Apex                  109
6th     Lynx                  109
7th     WG                     95

(rounded 1 decimal place)

Obviously any system is flawed, and I was trying to find a way to balance current and future games. This one assumes things stay somewhat towards their current trends and all players and matches are indeed equal. I still think however, that this gathers the strong start of GG and the weak start of WG. We know Apex is stronger with team games which is why they are lower now, but I am interested to see as the season progresses, how this stacks up.

Well then... MG ReLite from GG got booted from his 3rd game now (China 2v2 Vs. Lynx). This is GG's 4th overall boot. It sucks because they had such a nice start. ;w;

i don't know the reason for his boots, but:

Last seen less than 15 minutes ago

so maybe it's just his way to surrender?

He was booted before that, I checked this morning and last seen was 2 days 13 hours iirc

GG have a lot of very good players. They could have chosen a roster with player that are able to do their orders on time... it's really heartbreaking, I like this team.

But almost one more loose will come to GG soon and without boot...

Turtles continue their solid start with yet another win. Their 1v1 and 2v2 line-ups look as good as any other clan. If their 3v3 teams can keep pace they could be the dark horse this season. Masters and French keep the momentum with a win each. Apex has made a slow start, but the gap isn't too big yet. GG picks up two more losses which sets back them a bit after their spectacular start.

Always looking forward to your daily updates, Deadman. Keep up the good work! ^w^
