The Race for Mediocrity:
Well here we are. M'Hunters and VS have crossed the finish line and are off celebrating their wins. M'Hunters was last seen several days ago, their bender hasn't ended yet. VS was reported to treat themselves to a glass of chocolate milk instead of regular milk before getting into bed at 10:00 pm. Meanwhile, the two heads of Hydra has been hitting each other over and over, their eyes spinning, legs stumbling forward as BIA walks slowly wondering wtf is up with Hydra. CORP meanwhile has had their legs fall off now are dragging themselves forward with their arms. LEA meanwhile has been fallen on its face right at the beginning. I think a vulture is circling over them, I hope they're ok.
And so here we are, the race for mediocrity. Hydra and BIA. An epic fight for 3rd place. A rivalry that no one knows about, including Hydra and BIA and one this scorekeeper is fabricating for the sake of dramatic tension.
Disclaimer: Yes I am from Hydra and this post will seem very biased but I am trying to be honest. And just to give TBest something to shout at me later: "B-B-B-B-iase!"
So this post is predicated on two assumptions:
- Great Lakes 3v3: Hydra vs. BIA Winner = Hydra
- China 2v2: Hydra vs. LEA Winner = Hydra
Those two games are singled out because first, LEA has played awfully so far and there is little reason to doubt Hydra losing to them now, and second based on the current information available to me in the Great Lakes game, Hydra has good positional and income advantages against BIA. Lets assume that both games are won by Hydra, then we are looking at standings for Hydra and BIA that look like this:
Hydra would have 109 points with 1 more game to finish, Great Lakes against M'Hunters, and colour me pessimistic about that game. BIA's max points would be 110 points. They would have zero room error and would need to win their remaining 4 games (3 on 2v2 China and 1 on 2v2 ME). It is possible BIA wins those remaining 4 games but I think others will agree with me, that BIA has a harder road to 3rd place then Hydra.
I am not at all saying Hydra will come 3rd. Only that Hydra arguably has a more likely path to 3rd place then BIA.
