I think 1st and last place are starting to become clear. I think masters will take this lead until the end, and I don't think WG are going to move much either. Apex's rough start might mean they struggle to catch french up, I guess we'll see if french can hold 2nd when the team games start coming through. Turtles have got an impressive record so far, but a lot of it due to buns, will they be able to carry this on throughout the team games? GG were off to a great start, but thats started to slip, which they really cant afford, GG I think are very weak on teams, and so they really need to perform well in the 1v1s. Lynx aren't off to a great start, and like apex, will rely on the team games to climb up the ladder.

My predicted leaderboard:
Masters 1st
French 2nd-3rd
Apex 2nd-4th
Turtles 3rd-6th
Lynx 4th-6th (was going to say 3rd-6th, but that might be bias, so I'll go with 4-6)
GG 4th-6th
WG 7th

Only one game finished over the last day.

Reza boots against Nackickwind on Treasure map in what seemed like an even game. WG can't afford to boot at this stage given their start :|

I was making my turn while I got booted :(

Really... please guys, boot against a team advantage one above others.

Please, get booted against French only. TY. :p

Masters and French both lose a game each. With these results, the max points chart looks so tight. #1 and #6 are separated by just 6 points!

Team games are always crucial in the clan league. We've seen dominance in 1v1s amount to very little, if it cannot be backed by good performances in team games. Apex draw first blood on 3v3 Great Lakes! Timi justifies his billing on Greece by beating Wazz. This puts them right back into the mix.

Lynx pick up another win to keep pace with the rest of the clans above them. WG is beginning to look a bit isolated in 7th.

As clan league progresses more into team game results.

haha.. That's a cute turtle.

Masters pick up their 2nd win on Strat ME. They are building up momentum and the other challengers need to stay in touch. Turtles continue their impressive showing and have the best record on 1v1s among all clans with a 7-2 record. They move up to a joint 2nd place with the French.

Bad day for Apex, as they pick up two losses. Still a long way to go, and they will rely heavily on the team games which are yet to come. GG are falling at a rapid rate after their spectacular start. They've gone from 4-0 to 5-5 and now occupy a relegation spot! Just goes to show how competitive this season is.

Lynx pick up a win to move out of the relegation zone. I really liked their game against GG. They had a great plan and executed it perfectly. I expect them to do rather well on Start ME after having watched that game.

Just picked up a win against French on Europe 3v3!

We may have greatly underperformed in 1v1 games so far, but our team games are going so damn well.

Turtles pick up 3 more wins in a day! They look unstoppable right now. Buns clearly lied to us when he predicted them to relegate. It was all part of his cunning plan to achieve world domination!! Masters haven't had any new games finish and sit in 2nd place. Both the clans promoted from B occupy the top berths at the moment ;)

GG pick up a win and a loss to sit in 6th place. It's super tight in the middle though. Lynx win the first game on Europe this season to blitz into 3rd! Updating the table is so annoying due to such constant movement :|

WG's misery continues with two more losses. They are going to need a miracle to turn this around :(

Its way to soon to say much but it seems that WG's older, resurrected players aren't doing as well as other clans with fresh blood like Lynx.

Erg. Will be tough for us. Impressive strat Turtles & Masters. Well played.

Sad to see WG like that. But I'm expecting better for the next. WG will wake up soon ! (don't make me lie please)

On the League 8 overview page, could the win percentage formula be dragged down a few more rows to include the bottom couple of people please?

Masters bag their first win on 3v3 EU to reclaim top spot. GG pick up the first win on 2v2 China to leapfrog the other three clans and jump up to 3rd. Apex now occupies the 2nd relegation spot!

I just love how this season is shaping up. There are no free wins unlike the previous seasons where you always had one or two clans going inactive and giving up free points via boots. Every game is being fought over and it's just so competitive.

For Points Behind I just used a variation of the standard Games Behind formula:

((Leader Points Won - Clan Points Won) + (Clan Points Lost - Leader Points Lost)) / 2

Also, WG is really getting rekt.

@Dom

I don't have access to all the sheets, so I cannot make that change. I've told Chris about it though and he should fix it soon.

Thanks for the consistent updates Master of the Dead! It's exciting to see what a difference one day can make in the standings at this point!

Masters were big favorites coming into this season, and so far, have proven their supporters right. I can't see any team seriously challenging them for first this season, especially with the way Apex has performed so far.

The Turtles have surprised me so far; I imagine they will drop in team games, but I could easily see them finishing third this season.

Lynx, French, GG are doing about as I expected. I imagine the Turtles will drop back to fight with these 3 clans for 3rd place. It's unfortunate that one of these clans will be relegated. My personal opinion is it will be GG, but I think all clans but Apex and Masters have a legitimate chance at being relegated.

Apex has done much worse than expected up to this point, yet I think they will eventually pull ahead and away from Turtles, Lynx, French, and GG.

I expected WG to finish in 7th by a respectable margin, but I couldn't predict this kind of performance from them. Hopefully they can grab a few wins soon and close the gap on 6th place.

So far this clan league has proven interesting; I hope it continues this way.

MotD your daily updates are great! Much better than mine, especially since they are more frequent.... I would assume that you would be willing to finish he season as scorekeeper?
