5th round. 20/10/2023 -> Volcano 2v2: https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=24797119
- For the 2v2, winning the round gives you 1.5 points. Draw gives 0.75. Close win gives 1.125 to winning team, and 0.375 to losing team. Two games per team.

We also created the matchups live on stream, and Min and I made predictions on them. The predictions are on the right. These are:

- GB B vs CAN - Slight advantage to GB B.
- ITA A vs FR C - Italy A to win.
- US A vs POL C - US A to win.
- FR A vs HEL B - FR A to win.
- POL A vs ITA B - POL A to win.
- GER C vs POL B - Too close to call.
- ITA E vs GB C - GB C to win.
- HEL C vs BEL - BEL to win.
- AUS A vs ITA C - AUS A to win.
- EAS vs FR B - Too close to call.
- GER A vs NL - GER A to win.
- US C vs HEL A - HEL A to win.
- SWZ vs GB A - GB A to win.
- US B vs GER B - US B to win.
- HIS vs US D - HIS to win.
- AUS B vs CZE - Too close to call.
- ITA D gets a bye.

Special thanks to Justin, Min, and Gak for helping to get us to this point. Looking forward to the start of NC.

Wohooo.

Wasnt there a website where anyone could make their predictions? Used to appear on WGL, cant remember the name.

I don't know who, but somebody kept saying in the stream "you haven't fucked up yet" after you revealed every template. Every template, but Volcano 2v2.

Close win gives 1.125 to winning team, and 0.375 to losing team.

Is there a definition of close win?

@Kallisti close win is by 1 game, which can only occur if one team is playing with only 5 players

We've recently done the stream for the second round Match-ups. Marcus hasn't made the 2nd round thread yet so I'm just going to leave this here for now.

The full stream, with timestamps, on YouTube.

The matching was a bit shorter but we have some game analysis at the end for those who like it!
