Farah, if you come to the Berlin Open 2019 I might even buy you a beer!

A postcard and 2 beers is my price now

Thanks Farah for tickling our interests with the wonderful, exceedingly adequate update. Of course you would do the update that has games riddled with boots.

If ONE! relegates I propose we all commit clan seppuku together by jumping into a fiery pit of lava :]

Or ya'll could all surrender in won games to aun.

Aren't you from Texas? I would have thought you could put the apostrophe in "y'all" in the correct place.

I blame swype on my phone keyboard. It has weird quirks like this.

Removed the error from my phone. :P

now is the time to shame all those people who predicted hobo will be last in strategic greece..

good job hobo :D

Not sure if you're being ironic, but all his wins are boot wins so far :p

The win against timon92 (Lynx) isn't a boot. :P

and the game against PJ appeared to be a surrender-boot, not a "i forgot to log in for 5 days" boot. hobo had the advantage there and i guess PJ couldn't decide what to do. So that too is a genuine win in my books.

Whoops, hadn't seen he beat Timon. It was after i finished the update. Sorry 'bout that. And yeah, the PJ game looks like it was a surrenderboot. Didn't check that game in details cause i don't like reviewing games where someone boots. Everyone's right, farah's wrong. The usual :p

Farah you should analyze games with boots especially. You might be the one playing/booting in them

Also, the game vs timi wad basically won

ah my ears must of been burning, not checked this thread for a while.

Who are these charlatans that predicted i would be last?????????? i want them all banned from warlight. shame on them, we should have a game of thrones homage and just get every one on wl to comment shame...lol

no it's fair enough i dont play many 1v1's and not a big fan of the map, tbh i played a few games with theenigma as practice when cl started and despite having early lead in every game against him i did play too safe and let him grow and come back and kick my ass in every game so fara is prob spot on about not being aggressive enough.
took me to game against lynx to learn need more agressive play on that map. well i take 3rd in my first div A tourney, next one i hoping for 6 boots.lol

I suspect mifran has played this map b4, looks like he gonna walk it. he's kinda good.

well hobo's are the ultimate over achievers, our expectations are set so low we have no choice but to exceed them....lol.

Games finished since last update:

hobo (MH) defeats Timon92 (Lynx)
hobo gets his triplepick on Thebean League, which is troubling for timon. But, as we all know, hobo played so passive earlier so timon can make some good predicts, right? Nope, hobo barely deploys to his bonus and goes all in on predicting timon taking Northwest Peleponnese. Two more turns of good predicting by hobo slowly gets timon to 5 income and an unwinnable position. A short but fun game to watch.

PJ (ONE!) defeats Timon92 (Lynx)
While PJ has the income advantage early on, timon holds the positional advantage, controlling Sykros with a big stack. On turn 5, PJ predicts where timon is going to smash him, but the turn after he gets broken. Now timon has an income advantage of 1 and is in a position to do some serious damage. PJ guesses correctly and doesn't let timon break any more income than he's already broken. But then turn 8 happens. Timon attacks PJ's income with 3's and a 7. But PJ defends all the attacked territories with 3's and a 5, resulting in timon not breaking anything. But it gets worse for timon. PJ has a stack on Sykros and delays his socks off. Then as last move, PJ does an attack-only on Lesbos, taking his bonus back and taking back the income advantage. Turn 8 was sick. The following turns are both players fighting it out on Sykros and timon trying to eliminate Sparta. While PJ doesn't have 300 men in Sparta, he does have enough to hold off timon. With the 2 income advantage that PJ holds and the stack advantage of 8 armies, the game is over and timon surrenders. Turn 8 was beautiful. Go watch it.

Edge (Outlaws) defeats MIFRAN (GG)
MIFRAN gets the ftb on Sporades. Edge gets the counter on Sporades. MIFRAN has intel on the counter, but decides to go for it anyway with all he has. But Edge took out his calculator and counters the ftb while taking a 2-bonus. MIFRAN is looking to get income and takes Messinia next turn. He also prepares to take West Central Greece, a 4-bonus. It looks like Edge counted this out perfectly; on turn 3 MIFRAN tries to counter Central Aegean, but a first turn smash by Edge on the counter prevents that from happening. MIFRAN takes his 4-bonus which leaves Edge with a 1-income deficit. Edge knows he'll be broken in central Aegean, so he opts for Dodecanese, the big 5 bonus. He also increases the pressure on West Central Greece. On turn 5 MIFRAN does something unexpected and takes back the countered first turn bonus while letting edge break West Central Greece. It leads to a 2-income advantage for Edge but somewhat more pressure on his 5-bonus. On turn 6, Edge gets a lucky first move and rebreaks the ftb. MIFRAN flanks to the quadruple border on Edge's 5-bonus and tries to retake West Central Greece. That fails and the incomes are now 7 for MIFRAN and 12 for Edge. MIFRAN surrenders and I'm not sure why. He had a chance to break Edge's 5-bonus, getting the incomes back to 7-7. Then it becomes a brawl where MIFRAN would have a slight disadvantage, but it wasn't lost in my opinion.

Games finished since last update:

Pardon99 (Masters) defeats FiveStarGeneral (ONE!)
Pardon gets his first, fourth and fifth pick. With Liconia being a combo, that's basically full intel. While FiveStarGeneral is forced to go for his combo, Pardon takes his 2 bonuses and moves towards the counter. FiveStarGeneral doesn't move to the position from where he could've seen Pardon coming, and gets countered badly. Once Pardon breaks Liconia, FiveStarGeneral is back on five income while Pardon can rest with an almost uncontested 12 income and it's game over.

Games finished since last update:

TBest + Emu Pub + hobo (MH) defeat vicnus + johnmd20 + Jef (VS)
After picks, it's clear that the MH team can expand a lot the first two turns. Especially hobo, getting a combo on Llanos and getting Lima as well. Emu's combo on Southern Andes is challenged by Jef, but Emu gets it anyway. When tbest gives his spot in the north to hobo so he can join the fight with his massive income advantage, the game looks over. The VS team tries one final thing, which is eliminating TBest, but unfortunately hobo and Emu have big incomes and TBest survives.

3v3 Europe

(3-0) Outlaws		- Kezzo + Platinum + Odin
(3-0) Master Clan	- Deadman + Master Jz + Master Moto 
(3-1) |GG|		- FlyingBender + MisterT + Po1onius
(1-1) Lynx		- Dom365 + Juan + 90 \(ºº)/
(1-4) M'Hunters	- AI + Melethron + blobblob
(0-2) ONE!		- Suschel + Muli + Beren
(0-3) VS		- DarrenDieHard + INSIDE + tobe

Games finished since last update:

Master Moto + Deadman + Master Jz (Masters) defeat Mike |GG| + MisterT + Po1onius (GG)
Masters see a combo that GG doesn't see: Eastern Balkans. GG has an uncontested Czech until Master Moto shows up to spoil that party. Deadman gets Belarus and the income advantage is getting bigger and bigger for Masters. When Master Jz gets into western Norway with 15 uncontested income, the party lights really go out for GG.

M'Hunters have a great week, winning a 3v3 and winning a 1v1. It gets them 8 points and they lose nothing. The relegation fight is getting closer and closer and if M'Hunters manage to keep this performance up, anything is possible for them.

Masters have a great week as well, doing the same stuff as M'Hunters (you copycats). They win a 3v3 and a 1v1, resulting in 8 uncontested points too. While they now have more points than Lynx, their max points are still somewhat lower than lynx's. But the fight for first is close again, and that's good!

Outlaws is the last clan with a good week. Winning 2 1v1's nets them six points and gets them some safety at the third place. M'Hunters, in sixth place, are only 3 points away from them. Their max points differ by 24, but this gives an idea of how close this is getting.

ONE! has a mixed week, winning a 1v1, but losing one as well. They get 3 points but see their max points decrease by 3 in the process. With fewer points than GG and M'Hunters it's time for them to stop stalling and start relegating. Erm, winning. Start winning.

VS doesn't find themselves on the bottom of this list for a change. They go 0-1, losing a 3v3. With their winrate almost dropping below 25%, they need to step up their game. At least mess with the top a bit, guys.

Lynx ends up going 0-2. Timon loses a 1v1 twice on Greece. If they want to hold their top spot, this is not the kind of performance you want to end a week with. Then again, it's only 2 games. But Masters are closing in on them, so if they want their second Clan League trophy they need to win more.

GG finds itself in VS's usual spot. They go 0-3, losing not only 2 1v1's, but also a 3v3. They now have the same amount of points as M'Hunters, but stay above them by having more max points.

Disappointing update. No boots!

P.S. I think you mathed the difference between Outlaws and MH wrong.
