Well I have absolutely nothing against CelticFringe nor his clan but they clearly showed that they don't give a shit about this CL11. They don't play the 2v2 either.

So don't waste time creating new games, its unnecessary, just give them the losses.

Ok so 3 things,

1st if I have time tonight the first update for this Division will be coming out.

2nd after weighing the options and everyones opinions I have decided to go with the option that will cause Celtica to get all auto losses in there 3v3 Europe tourney for not joining on time.

Lastly the Hannibal at the Gates as well as British Raj tourney's have been created early and as a result WILL start in 14 days. (I added extra slots this time just to be sure.) So ya if your in those remember to join... (:

Hannibal at the Gates:
https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer/Tournament?ID=28561

hmmmm, maybe we should've added a boot partner for them like you did last season; but with small roster and loss of interest, I guess Celtics are fine with forfeiting. Atleast few players are joining and playing their tournaments and probably for future, it is better to go with a bigger roster.

Hello everyone!!!
Enough games have finished by now for me to do a divisional update despite the fact that if I would have formatted the first 3 tournies correctly we would probably not have any games finished... (:
However despite that lets just go ahead and dig right into the games that have finished so far in this awesome qualifier!!!

1v1 Strat 0% ME WR:
A whopping 13 games have already finished in this tourney despite it only starting about a week ago!!!

N vs Koztikoz
Koztikoz triple picks in the Scandinavian region while N goes for a more coverage minded picks. In the end though N's picks were superior since he stole 1 of Koztikoz's top 3. As a result N was able to gain a quick advantage by safely expanding elsewhere until he had enough power to eventually overpower Koztikoz and force him to surrender...

AIRNewbie vs Bill87
While AIRNewbie goes for a coverage strategy on picks Bill triple picks west Chine putting his top pick in a wasteland bonus........ However for obvious reasons this backfires horribly as he gives AIR basically the entire rest of the map to expand giving a quick and easy win to AIRNewbie and VIW.

Koztikoz vs Bill87
Bill instead of going for West China this game instead triple picked East Russia... Despite Koztikoz going for a triple on South America Bill still takes the L in this game due to Koztikoz outplaying him throughout the entire second half of the game.

Pepe the Frog vs Bill87
Is it just me or does Bill have some sort of fetish for triple picking West China? Whatever the answer to that question one question that can be answered is YES its a terrible idea to triple pick West China!!! (:

N vs Bill87
3rd times a charm??? No??? Well crap...... N outplays and out picks Bill destroying him rather quickly and efficiently.

N vs Pepe the Frog
N gets lucky and Pepe gets unlucky with N taking Pepes first pick away allowing him to get the FTB on the board uncontested. Meanwhile ehile N takes easy income in the Central America area he distracts Pepe in asia and before Pepe can do much of anything N has already won this bad boy.

N vs AIRNewbie
AIR decides to try Bill's strategy of triple picking West China which works decently well foe him at first however as the game progresses N takes more and more safe income and after N is able to sucessfully break AIR'sEast Russia bonus the game is already basically over...

Koztikoz vs Pepe the Frog
While Pepe goes for more coverage based picks Koztikoz decides to play it balsy and triple pick West Africa. This ends up paying dividends for Koztikoz in the long run however as hes able to out expand Pepe despite inferior map coverage. This is due to poor expanding by Pepe. This in the long run gives Koztikoz and Illuminati another W!!!

SevenEleven vs Koztikoz
Rather straight forward game. Koztikoz doesn't see the Antarctica FTB while SevenEleven does. This along with Koztikoz having no safe immediately income gives SevenEleven a easy win.

DanWL vs Koztikoz
Despite Koztikoz starting off with a income lead Dan still gets a rather comfortable looking W due to having TONS of expansion opportunities especially when compared with Koztikoz's...

AIRNewbie vs Koztikoz
A rather interesting game between these 2. However AIR edges out Koztikoz due to havng generally better expansion opportunities.. (However in my opinion Koztikoz surrendered to early.......)

SevenEleven vs AIRNewbie
In the end like many other game sin this tournament it came down to who had better expansion opportunities and in this game that person was SevenEleven. However it should be noted that in general SevenEleven just played at a slightly higher level than AIR the entire game.

Pepe the Frog vs AIRNewbie
This game is in general an example of how NOT to triple pick....... Just take a peek at the game and you'll see what I mean.......

Summary:
N gets off to a very hot start winning 4 games in a row with only SevenEleven and DanWL standing in his way to a perfect tourney. Meanwhile Bill and VG start in the hole with 4 straight losses and no victories. To top it off one player Koztikoz has already finished all his games ending up with a mediocre score of 2-4.


2v2 Final Earth:
8 games have already finished since this tourney started and its only been 1 week or so since the tourney started!!!

Avengers (Sakata Gintoki, Lucia) vs Celtica (CCC4, Celticfringe)
Does it even count as a game played if 1 of the teams has a boot and the other person surrenders at picks?
Well according to this game the answer is a big fat yes! (;

Illuminati (Criba86, Xera) vs Celtica (CCC4, Celticfringe)
CCC4 got approached by the Illuminati. That's all im going to say about it! (:

Varangian Guard (koso, General Discord) vs Celtica (CCC4, Celticfringe)
At least they diddn't surrender on picks this time... That's got to count for something... Right???

Harmony (Bumblebee, Powerbalance) vs Celtica (CCC4, Celticfringe)
This game was so close its not even funny how cl.....
Na, Just Kidding. CCC4 booted on picks allowing for a easy Harmony win.

BIA (Vanguard, Smokedpears) vs Celtica (CCC4, Celticfringe)
Im starting to think Farah gave CCC4 some booting lessons...
Now I guess hes going to get some more lessons from fizzer on how to use the surrender button! (:

VIW (Le Count H, lineal2012) vs Harmony (Bumblebee vs Powerbalance)
A rather important game in the grand scheme of this division so Ill try my best to try to analyze it well. To start out with neither team mirror picks with both teams electing to do combining strategies of sorts. The VIW team does something rather interesting sacrificing coverage for early income quad picking West Russia. For awhile this game is rather even with both teams getting more and more income. However eventually VIW starts to pull ahead due to the rather clear Africa and Eurasia zones having a MASSIVE lack of Harmony coverage. This issue comes to a massive and almost game deciding crescendo on turn 11 when the VIW players combine there incomes to eliminate Bumblebee from Asia. This combined with just 2 turns Powerbalance being completely eliminating Powerbalance from the Australia zone spells doom for Harmony and just a few turns later they surrender...

VIW (Le Count H, lineal2012) vs BIA (Vanguard, Smokedpears)
Like the Harmony vs VIW game both teams elect to not use mirror picks. Also like that game VIW elects to try to quad pick West Russia again, however this time BIA anticipates this and takes 1 of the 4. However this turns out to not work since turn 1 Lineal hits Vanguard with 8 and eliminated him from the area. However lucky for BIA they had another starting spot near by preventing that area from being safe for expansion... For awhile until turn 7 both teams sit on there borders while expanding. However on turn 7 Le Count comes in from behind in California and takes out Central America while gifting his teammate in. THis horribly threatens all of Vanguards remaining income. After this point the game is over since VIW is able to deny Vanguard any income while still applying pressure to his teammate and in the end VIW gets a key win!!!

Harmony (Bumblebee vs Powerbalance) vs BIA (Vanguard, Smokedpears)
Once again no mirror picks in sight. Vanguard goes for a triple pick in Canada. However this backfires in the most colossal way as powerbalance has the perfect counter to this move! THe result of this counter is now Vanguard has know where safe to expand into....... This coupled with inefficient expanding pushes the game heavily into Harmony's favor. While this game ended up being 13 turns trust me when I say Harmony was ahead the entire time.

Summary:
VIW starts off very strong with 2 wins right off the bat and a 3rd from Celtica most likely on the way due to CCC4's very good booting skills coupled with Celticfringe knowing too well how to use a surrender button. Meanwhile besides the self destruction of Celtica BIA also starts in the hole with 2 losses and only 1 win. They will have to step up there game in order to win this tourney or get a decent placing.

3v3 Europe:
While 6 games have finished they were all non joins from Celtica. So basically Celtica decided to give all teams a valentines gift of 5 free points each.

1v1 British Raj:
This tournament has not started yet and will not be starting until the 27th of February...

1v1 Hannibal at the Gates:
Like Raj this tournament has not started yet and will not be starting until the 27th of February...

Current Standings and Overall Summary:

Position     	Clan             Points  Max Points         Remark
1st		Harmony		  25	  104		  Harmonius
2nd		The Avengers	  12	  108		  Hero's Suit Up
3rd		VIW  		  19	  99		  Outlier = Weirdo
4th		BIA		  15	  100		  You gotta love Dumb Luck
5th		ILLUMINATI	  15	  96		  Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.
6th		VG		  09	  96		  Roamin' Vikings    (;
7th		Celtica		  06	  52		  Once a Celt Always a Celt

Harmony at the moment is the clear from runner in this division earning a whopping 25 points so far and overall having the second highest max points ceiling. There record so far is 7-1.

The Avengers are in second almost entirely due to the fact that they haven't lost a single game so far. They currently are 3-0.

VIW so far is finding itself in a rather interesting spot. While there 2v2 team has payed dividends there 1v1 players have been less then impressive with AIRNewbie going 2-3 so far. However despite this they still go 5-3 good enough for 3rd place.

BIA is starting off rather slowly with only a few games finished so far however with these games finished the results have been mixed with 1v1's going well while 2v2's going less than desired. However there still doing better with there 4-2 record than the next team that's going to be mentioned.

ILLUMINATI so far has plenty to prove. They are the first clan to legitimately finish all games in a tourney. Unluckily they get the result there not looking for going 2-4 in ME WR. Whether this is going to set the tone for the rest of this clans CL is unknown. They are 4-4 so far.

VG has been unimpressive so far with 4 losses and there only 2 wins being from a self destructing Celtica team. However there are plenty of games left so maybe they can change there fate. They are 2-4 so far.

Celtica has basically decided they want to gof or the record for the fastest amount of time to be eliminated from division C. There making good time so far and are on track to beat Olympus and DWF in this regard. However not everything is so gloomy with Pepe the Frog picking them up some wins. So far they have gone 2-13.

Edited 2/17/2019 19:54:38

are on track to beat Olympus and DWF in this regard

Nah, remember DARKLORDS? Their descent into darkness in CL7 was even faster than those two's. That's Celtica's real competition.

Thanks Otterycat for those comments. This is really great.

I love the triple pick pattern West China :)

Hello to everyone!!!
Three things I want too say!!!


1st: The British Raj and Hannibal at the Gates tournaments have started!!!

2nd: The Celtica player for Hannibal at the Gates failed to join the tournament in time and as a result gave his clan a TON of auto losses... FUN

3rd: A second update for this division will be coming out this weekend and while it may be less comprehensive it will still be pretty good!!!

Well it's official then :p Celtica can't get to C anymore

And DanWL and N are fighting for the first place in the 1v1 ME 0% WR

Great job both of them whatever the winner of this one

https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=17969908

Nice.
Everything looks good, except the forfeit.

Congrats to both Harmony and N for N's perfect 6-0 record on the Strat ME WR tourney, CONGRATS!

Nice.

Okay, so Everyone time for update 2 too come out!!! Sorry for the big delay between the first and second updates. Ill try to not let it happen again. However unlike the other updates im not going to be doing individual game reviews since that's too time consuming (try at least 2 hours to go through the amount of games that have finished since last update)... Anyways without further ado lets dive in!!!

1v1 Strat 0% ME WR:
Amazingly all games have finished in this tournament meaning lots of games have finished!

Comments:
Once again a big congratulations to N and the rest of Harmony for not only winning the tourney but winning it with a 6-0 sweep. At the same time though DanWL and SevenEleven from Avegers and BIA respectfully also put up decent numbers going respectably 5-1 and 4-2.

Comments:
So far there is no clear frontrunner with none having more than 3 games won. However the clear underdog in this tournament is Glenn Parmentier who is now 0-3 and will have to start winning like crazy if he wants any chance of a decent record.

1v1 Hannibal at the Gates:
Similar to Raj a total of 6 games have also finished in this tournament since the last update.

Tartan1314 (BIA) beats Juanchovsky (VG)

[V.I.W] recruiting time! Join us ! (VIW) beats Juanchovsky (VG)

Comments:
Not much to say in a tournament where only 5 game have completed but I guess all go over whats kind of mainly happened. Tartan from BIA has started off rather strong with 2 wins while VG's player has started off with a abysmal 0-3, not exactly the result they want probably. Meanwhile Siema Ziom from Avengers wins 1 game but also boots in another game which was still to close to call.

2v2 Final Earth:
Since the last update a further 8 games have finished.

VIW (Le Count H, lineal2012) beats Celtica (CCC4, Celticfringe)

VIW (Le Count H, lineal2012) beats Avengers (Sakata Gintoki, Lucia)
Varangian Guard (koso, General Discord) beats Harmony (BumbleBee :), powerbalance)

Comments:
Varangian Guard's team becomes the first to finish all there games in this tournament ending with a respectable 3-3 which is the best overall result for there clan so far. Meanwhile VIW has taken a massive lead in this tournament beating almost everyone and are well on the road to winning the tournament out right. They only have 1 game left vs ILLUMINATI whom have so far only completed 2 games.

3v3 Europe:
Now 4 games have finished in this tourney since last update... (:

Varangian Guard (ONAMA6049, Asx, RAS) beats BIA (Chackyjo, Bigby, Piper)

Comments:
Some awesome games on this tournament have already completed with the ILLUMINATI, VIW, and Harmony teams all defeating each other in what I say is AWESOME fashion. Meanwhile Varangian Guard flies slightly under the radar sneaking in a win vs BIA. Lastly the Avengers are slow lol! (:

Edited 3/22/2019 14:07:10

meow

This looks very interesting here. Like 5 clans around the same level.
Avengers, VIW, Harmony, BIA and Illuminati

Woof!

Edited 3/20/2019 17:52:59

more like 4;

In %PC Avengers leads having 74,5%; VIW in second place at 68,9%; ILLUMINATI third with 67,9%; harmony already quite a bit lower than the avengers at 62,6%, but with a second place in points gained can't be counted out yet.

BIA however is in all senses distanced to a 5th place with 54,5% PC and so far no wins on the team games outside of Celtica's non join/boots. Also fifth place in max points and points gained. Far closer to Varangian Guard than to The Avengers too ;p

Hmm... Okay true. Havnt looked that closely on it.

Though I believe Q2 is against that more or less decided. What first 3 places concerns

Avengers (Sakata Gintoki, Lucia) beats Harmony (BumbleBee :), powerbalance)

No. This game is still on-going.

Thanks for pointing this out, its now fixed.
