I feel like cluster pick is legit on Macedonia. Muli did it to me too and had a big income advantage. I think I only won from luck on that one. Think he may have forgotten to play his reinforcement card not sure...

• Two new finished games!
  AI defeated ACL Tears on BIV (it was AI's choice)
  https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=19496676
  ACL Tears hit back on New 1v1 ladder (ACL Tears's choice)
  https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=19496682
  So now 1:1 and the decider game is coming on Old 1v1 ladder (AI's choice)

ACL defeated Alex to face alexclusive? ;)

Hi how do I join this

ACL defeated Alex to face alexclusive? ;)

Are you sure that AI's first name is not Alex? :P
Corrected ;)

Hi how do I join this

Simple, join to the AWP World Tour
https://www.warzone.com/Forum/262655-awp-world-tour-magazine
and get more than 2000 points (for this edition of Tour Finals this was (approx.) the limit) and you will be invited to the 2020 edition of the Tour Finals ;)

What does the LL seeding for ACL Tears mean?

Lucky Loser

Hmm sounds a bit self-contradictory

It makes more sense if you follow tennis, which the whole AWP concept is inspired by.

In tennis, one has to pass through the qualifiers (unless they're ranked high enough to be in the main draw automatically) to be able to participate in the main draw of the tournaments. In cases where a player has to drop out of the main draw of the tournament for some reason (e.g. injury), a player then replaces him who had been eliminated from the qualifiers. That player is called a lucky loser.

Ahhh I didn't know that, thanks partner.

Yes, from tennis terminology, what Tornado wrote (thx mate!)

to participate in 2020 AWP, (not the finals), do i have to "re-signup?"

No

• Two games were finished!
  
  • Alex defeated ACL Tears on Blitzkrieg Bork (ACL Tears' choice)

  • and won on Biomes of America (Alex's choice) too
    https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=19708965
    so got the 2:0 lead, and ACL Tears should win 3 games in a row for the semifinal (so he is in the same situation than MoD is)
    Their ongoing third game is on New 1v1 Ladder

    Maybe that first MoD's pick was too brave (as FSG was the title holder on the FB event), I dunno :)
