Update #28 - July 15th:As has already been said before (no partial unoffical updates, so I'm gonna have to downvote everyone), the official winners of CL9 are MASTERs. A very big congratulations to them for their very impressive performance!
3v3 - - Deadman's Rise of Rome:
- In one of the biggest upsets of the season, ONE! defeat MASTERs. This game breaks two streaks - one, it breaks Masters' 4 game winning streak; two, it breaks ONE!'s 4 game losing streak. Almost 30 turns, this game certainly has broken the record for the longest DRoR game seen in CL9 so far. And this game has broken another thing: my back. With this loss, Masters must defeat the Turtles team if they hope to win the tournament, else Outlaws can steal the tournament victory if they manage to beat ONE!.
Standings ~ MASTERs: 4-1, Outlaws: 4-1 / Lynx: 4-2 / French: 3-3 / Turtles: 1-3 / Blitz: 1-4, ONE!: 1-4
- Europe:
- In another upset (though not as upsetting as Masters' loss to ONE! on DRoR), Outlaws defeat MASTERs. Masters lose their 4 game win streak on yet another 3v3 tournament, however they still currently maintain first place with a semi-comfortable 1 win margin. Outlaws finish EU with a 2-4 record, which is decent enough if you remember how badly boots riddled their team(s). It seems those 2 1/2 tournaments are finally getting to Deadman...
Standings ~ MASTERs: 4-1 / Lynx: 3-1, ONE!: 3-1 / French: 3-2 / Turtles: 2-2 / Outlaws: 2-4 / Blitz: 0-6
2v2 -- China [FINISHED]:
Tournament Winners: Master of the Dead/Master Ryiro and Timinator • apex (MASTERs)
- China becomes the first 2v2 and overall team tournament to finish, with MASTERs grabbing yet another tournament win. They defeat Lynx in a very intense match to tie with Turtles' 5-1 record (which gives them the tournament victory as they defeated Turtles in their tiebreaker match). Lynx finish China in third place with a respectable 4-2 record. Congratulations to Masters (...yet again...)!

- Final Earth:
- MASTERs get another 2v2 win from Lynx (lots of coincidental similarities this week), this one coming from FE. Masters increase their undefeated win streak to 4 (the only team left that is undefeated in this tournament), and will win the tournament if they can nab one more win from their last two games against Blitz and Outlaws. Lynx finish FE with a mediocre 1-5 record, and could be destined for last place if Blitz wins one of their two remaining games.

Masters (1) ironically have their worst performance on the week they win CL9. Go figure. They perform well in 2v2s with a 2-0 record, however, their 3v3 performance is the exact opposite. With a loss apiece on EU and DRoR, Masters offset the 8 points they received from their 2v2 wins in the negative direction, and finish this week with a net loss of 2 points. However, this really doesn't affect their performance much apart from dropping their Points Contested Percentage (PCP) under 80%.
ONE! (2) get a nice and unlikely 3v3 win, which gives them a net gain of 5 points this week.
Lynx (3) lose their last game on 2v2 China, which drops their MP ceiling by 4 points.
Turtles (4) have no completed games this week.
Outlaws (5) get a critical 3v3 win in EU, which has almost made them safe from relegation. They just need 4 more points to surpass French's MP ceiling of 105 in order to clinch tenure in Division A for CL10. They have a net gain of 5 points this week.
French (6) have no completed games this week.
Blitz (7) have no completed games this week.
Once again, a big congratulations to Masters for their amazing performance this season of CL! In other news, Outlaws are looking to be almost completely safe from relegation, so it is possible CL10 will offer some more interesting competition than this season had with the addition of GG and Mankey Hunters.
