In our case it is timon O.o

I was just watching back the first few pages of this thread and especially to who everybody thought that would be winning the specific groups.

So was for group A the battle mostly between WG and Apex and at most lists GG was on 4th or even 5th place. Meanwhile on my form GG was actually 2nd with votes who would be winning group A after Apex and just in front of WG. Now we are over halfway it is looking like Apex and GG will be facing off for the 1st place with WG on the 3rd place.

In group B everybody was basically saying it would end with Lynx, Masters, Blitz, and in this order but now with only 3 to 7 games left for each clan Lynx and Blitz are still competing for the 1st place and a specific 3v3 between those 2 clans might be the win that makes those clans actually win the group.
Some also called VIW as a dark horse in the group but are under performing due to the fact that they have decided to actually put up a wide range of players to play with so more going for the fun then the real competition..

For group C the most said that XS would become 1st and they were right in this most likely but after that most were saying Turtles and REGL but actually right now from the last update it seems that BR is on the 2nd place in group C for the moment but it's still pretty close between those 3 clans.


I've also taken a look at who actually voted correctly for the winner on my form and in this i have for group A chosen to include both GG and Apex since they are the 2 most likely to win here, for group B Lynx and Blitz since 1 of them will win this group for sure and for group C just XS since their margin to winning is so big that they nearly can't give it away any more.
With this information i went on searching in the list and only 6 players from the 31 who filled the form actually have a change on getting it correctly but there is even a way that nobody will get groups A, B and C correct and that is if Apex will win group A and if Blitz will win group B.
the 6 players who still have the change to get everything correct are Braak (GG), Angry (GG), JSA (lynx), sabali, myself (blitz) and the troll username.

Yeah, JSA and I both said GG were being underrated. I thought we'd be in the hunt for #1, but we dropped some games I did not expect and also lost a few to boots from Summer having emergency.

@Chris: Well you technically still are, in a week or 2 we may be able to show that it's almost impossible.

GG vs Apex is a very tough fight. Unfortunately have to say it's much tougher than WG vs Apex last season.

With their new recruits GG might be even harder to face next season

i had GG pretty high up there with Apex actually due to the recent ladder successes that GG had at that point and it looks like they are performing like expected

REGL at the end did as VIW and decided to let a lot of players play despite being "bad" for the objective of trying to return to group B so I'm a bit surprised of us having chances :P

I was just looking at the list and Lynx has 1 2v2 game left and if they win that game and Blitz wins at least 2 out of their 4 2v2 games then then the 3v3 game between those 2 clans will decide which clan will actually win the group and who will finish in 2nd place.

This is actually very likely just if you look the 2v2 games those 2 clans have left so group B will actually be decided on a direct game between the top 2 clans in the group

Looks like fridge is back =)

Looks like our strategy went well. Reducing the players pool to the most competitives worked out despite being not so fun.

Group B: 95.15% finished

clan   score   win%  max points games left finish   t. wins
Blitz  154     80%     158          1        1st      6 (1x 3-way tie) (1x undecided on only Blitz or 3-way with Lynx and Masters)
Lynx   148     74%     152          1        2nd      1 (1x 3-way tie)
Master 103     53%     111          2        3rd      2 (1x 3-way tie)
101st   58     33%      74          4      4th-6th
BIA     55     33%      73          4      4th-6th
VIW     48     24%      66          4      4th-6th

Blitz can't lose the 1st place any more so the top 3 is decided even though there are still 8 games left in total.

For the bottom 3 the fight is still on since all of them still are able to stay in Group B for next season although it will be hard for VIW to actually make it happen. For this they have to win at least 3 more games out of their last 4 games. this is due to the fact that BIA and 101st are still facing each other in 1 of the tournaments so 1 of those 2 will be actually getting 5 more points for sure and since VIW is already behind in the score they will have a hard time coming back.
Also is VIW facing 101st and BIA both at least 1 time in the games remaining in the group.

Congrats Blitz for taking first !!!!

C is almost done too, so an update would be apreciated :P

Ok.... I'll get one for ya in a few days.... Exams are done today :P

Thanks Don! Did anyone pick Blitz to win?

jeff there were actually 4 who voted for Blitz on my list in the beginning of the season and in order of who voted first we have Ineffable, Pulsey, #QB# and angry 🐼 (just copy-paste that last name) and another fun fact with all their votes: they voted all for different clans as winner of Group A and Apex isn't in that list at all so high change nobody will get groups A-C correct.

Congrats Blitz. Will be interesting to see what happens next season.

Group C: 92.12% finished

clan	score	win%	max points	games left	finish	t. wins
XS	140	78%	164		5		1st	4 (1x 3-way tie)
BR	100	57%	120		4		2nd-4th	2 (1x 3-way tie)
REGL	93	52%	118		5		2nd-4th	1 (1x 3-way tie)
Turtles	96	52%	111		3		2nd-4th	1
SNinja	67	40%	91		5		5th	2
FBG	40	22%	60		4		6th	0

As expected by most, XS has comfortably won this division. All 1v1 tournaments have finished, and only one 2v2 game is still being played, between XS and SNinja.

There is still a close fight for 2nd place, though, as any of BR, REGL, or Icelandic Turtles could still snag promotion. BR looks to be the favorite to advance here, though I wouldn't count out REGL, as they have been playing well in their 3v3s.

SNinja and FBG are locked into 5th and 6th respectively, so the relegation spots are set.

Will be interesting to see what happens next season.

I totally agree with this. It should be a very competitive season in Group A with 2 clans joining in who have been performing pretty well in the past against the set clans in Group A like Apex, WG and GG.
I just watched the last update on A and it might seem that French is staying in A as well since they got decent point lead over some other clans while their max points is about the same as those clans.

REGL won 1 3vs3 game and is about to win another (only 1 surrender to accept) so we are still fighting for that second position :D 3 games left for us.
BR lost one so:

REGL 103 points and 3 games left (118 points max)*
BR 100 points and 3 games left (115 points max)
Turtles 96 points and 3 games left (111 points max)


BR have one vs Sninja and 2 vs XS
Turtles 1 vs FBG, 1 vs SNinja and 1 vs REGL
REGL 1 vs turtles, 1 vs SNinja and 1 vs XS

The REGL vs turtles match it's very important.

And 3vs3 europe SR it's ours (with or without a tie depending on last games)

*I counted the one we are about to win as finished. (Edit: already finished)


P.S: Very interesting fight there till last moment ;)
