Update #23 - June 10th:

Here's some shameless advertising to vote for my map in MotW since I have literally nothing else to write here: https://www.warlight.net/mapoftheweek/Vote

2v2 -

• China:
  
  
  • Turtles defeat Blitz. This outcome was sort of expected, as Turtles and Blitz were first and last place even before the game between them started. Turtles now have one more game left to win - arguably their toughest match against a reformed Masters' team - which will determine whether they sweep China. However, it remains to be seen whether this game will be the deciding win in the tournament until the Lynx/Masters game concludes as well. Meanwhile, Blitz get shut out of yet another tournament, making this their second tournament finish where they went winless.

• Strat ME:
  Tournament Winner: #Master [QB] (MASTERs)
  
  
  • #Master [QB] of MASTERs defeats Niko of French to go a perfect 4-0 since he was substituted in place of Master Ryiro. QB now has secured Strat ME for Masters, with an overall record of 5-1 (1-1 coming from Ryiro). Krzysztof can still tie with Masters' win record if he wins against Turtles (USA Biches), however his head-to-head loss vs QB costs him the tournament win. Niko gets his fifth straight loss, and will need to beat USA Biches if he hopes to not end up in last place. Congrats to QB!

Masters (1) get their second 1v1 and total tournament win, and continue to shred through the competition. They pick up an astonishing 3 points (a very important 3 points) since Wednesday.

ONE! (2) have no completed games this week.

Lynx (3) have no completed games this week.

Turtles (4) make up some of their lost ground since Wednesday by getting a critical 2v2 win. They now have a net loss of only 2 points throughout the entire week, which pushes their Points Contested Percentage back above French.

French (5) lose a 1v1 game and therefore have no net change this week (as they won a 1v1 game by the time I did my last Wednesday update). They shift back down to fifth place.

Outlaws (6) complete no games, and thus have a net loss of 4 points in total this week.

Blitz (7) are now officially relegated, due to their last loss allowing both French and Turtles' Total Points to eclipse Blitz's Max Points ceiling. My condolences to Blitz, but I'm sure you will do well in B. I heard Jefferspin misses you.

What's the point of doing a weekly summary when two games finished? Congrats to whoever I congratulated above (was it me?), and screw both Turtles and French for making me change their places in my text table every update.





I guess we're staying with the new graphs.

Update #24 - June 15th:

Running out of things to say here...

3v3 -

• Deadman's Rise of Rome:
  
  
  • No games completed at the time of this update.
  
  Standings ~ Lynx: 4-0 / MASTERs: 3-0 / French: 3-2 / Outlaws: 2-1 / Turtles: 1-3 / Blitz: 1-4 / ONE!: 0-4
  
  
• Europe:
  
  
  • French defeat ONE!. This is an important game in two ways: one, this marks ONE!'s first loss on EU, making Masters the only undefeated team left; two, these crucial 5 points help French in their fight against relegation. ONE!'s position doesn't change from second place, however now they share 2nd with Lynx. French moves to an uncontested third place and have only Turtles left to play which will likely determine which of the two clans finishes over the other.
  
  Standings ~ MASTERs: 4-0 / Lynx: 3-1, ONE!: 3-1 / French: 3-2 / Turtles: 2-2 / Outlaws: 0-4 / Blitz: 0-5
  
  

---

2v2 -

• China:
  
  
  • MASTERs defeat Turtles. This win proves critical, as Masters are now one game away from winning China. Their game versus Lynx determines whether Masters or Turtles gets the win on China. Lynx cannot place first in China as even if they win against Masters they lost the head-to-head game against Turtles, so Turtles will still come out on top.
  
  Standings ~ Turtles: 5-1 / Lynx: 4-1, MASTERS: 4-1 / French: 3-3 (1-0) / ONE!: 3-3 (0-1) / Outlaws: 1-5 / Blitz: 0-6
  
  
• Guiroma:
Tournament Winners: Beren • apex and Muli (ONE!)


• MASTERs beat French. Gui/Qi was booted on turn 1 after almost 19 days of vacation time and never took back control from the AI. However, Masters had an extremely strong picking advantage (and are not ones to throw winning games) so it appears that the outcome wouldn't have changed anyways. French finish with a nice 4-2 record on Guiroma, while Masters move to tie with Outlaws in 3rd place. However, while 2nd - 4th place can still alter dramatically depending on how the last remaining games on Guiroma finish, 5th - 7th place are finalized and have no dependency on how the remaining games play out.

Standings ~ ONE!: 5-0 / French: 4-2 / MASTERs: 3-2, Outlaws: 3-2 / Lynx: 3-3 / Blitz: 1-5 / Turtles: 0-5


• Final Earth:
  
  
  • MASTERs defeat French yet again, this time on FE (their last win was over three months ago, but Farah♠ is on that team which explains why that's the case). There were some really... boneheaded mistakes in this game that shouldn't even be found in games played by Olympus (ok, maybe not that bad). Masters move into an uncontested first place, as the only team slower than them is former first place-sharers ONE! (who coincidentally are also undefeated, but that's probably more due to how slow they are). Meanwhile, French fall into 5th place with an overall losing record of 2-3. Masters must hate the French for some reason this week. I wonder why...
  
  Standings ~ MASTERs: 2-0 / ONE!: 1-0 / Turtles: 4-1 / Outlaws: 2-2 / French: 2-3 / Blitz: 1-3 / Lynx: 1-4

1v1 -

• Volcano Island:
  
  
  • USA Biches of Turtles gets booted against awesomeusername of Blitz. Biches might be the true Darkpie of CL9 as even though andy has booted in many more games, his boots have not placed Lynx in a huge relegation threat. On the other hand, Turtles need all the points they can get and at the very least, Biches is not helping them with that. awesomeusername moves to tie with Biches in third place free of charge with an even 2-2 record.
  
  Standings ~ MASTERs: 3-0 / French: 1-0 / Blitz: 2-2, Turtles: 2-2 / Lynx: 1-1 / Outlaws: 0-4
  
  
• Guiroma [FINISHED]:
  Tournament Winner: master of desaster (MASTERs)
  
  
  • Guiroma is finished.
  
  Standings ~ MASTERs: 6-0 / ONE!: 5-1 / Turtles: 4-2 / French: 3-3 / Outlaws: 2-4 / Lynx: 1-5 / Blitz: 0-6
  
  
• Strategic Greece:
  Tournament Winner: AWESOMEGUY (Lynx)
  
  
  • Master Jz of MASTERs beats Krzysztof of Outlaws. With this win, Jz moves up to tie with Turkish in fourth place with a current 2-3 record. The final game on Greece between Jz (Masters) and Turkish (Turtles) will decide how the two place relative to each other, however, what is certain is that Krzysztof will hold 6th place regardless of the outcome as he has already lost to both Jz and Turkish.
  
  Standings ~ Lynx: 5-1 (1-0) / ONE!: 5-1 (0-1) / Blitz: 4-2 / MASTERs: 2-3, Turtles: 2-3 / Outlaws: 2-4 / French: 0-6

  Standings ~ Outlaws: 1-0 / ONE!: 3-1 / MASTERs: 2-1 / Blitz: 2-2, Turtles: 2-2 / Lynx: 0-4
  
  
• Strat ME:
  Tournament Winner: #Master [QB] (MASTERs)
  
  
  • 13CHRIS37 of Blitz defeats andy903 of Lynx not by a boot-win. A rather fun game to watch, but Chris was able to outplay andy in the last few turns which secured his victory. andy drops to a negative 2-3 record.
    
  • On the flip side, Chris also loses to Grizzlis of ONE!. Grizzlis finishes Strat ME with a decent 4-2 record, only losing to the two players above him rank-wise (which also means Grizzlis has secured 3rd place for ONE!). Chris doesn't go down in rankings (in fact he still goes up one rank since last week), however he has to settle for a tie in fourth place with andy instead of trading positions with andy.

Masters (1) have another excellent week beating up on French. They have a win on all of the 2v2 tournaments, in addition to a 1v1 win on Greece, which skyrockets their TP by 15 points.

ONE! (2) have a big loss on EU, but slightly make up for it with a win on Strat ME. They have a total mid-week net loss of 2 points.

Lynx (3) lose in a surprisingly non-boot andy game. They have a total mid-week net loss of 3 points due to the fact they completed no other games since Saturday.

Turtles (4) have a bad mid-week record, with 2 losses (one in China and the other a boot in Volcano Island) with no wins to make up for them. They have a mid-week net loss of 7 points.

French (5) have a mixed team-format record, with a critical 3v3 win partially offsetting the brutal 2v2 beating they got from Masters since Saturday. Their two 2v2 losses in FE and Guiroma, subtracted from the 5 points they got for defeating ONE! in EU, bring their total mid-week change to a net loss of 3 points.

Outlaws (6) have a 1v1 loss on Greece, but nothing else has substantially changed for them. Like Lynx, they have a net mid-week loss of 3 points due to no other games completed since Saturday.

Blitz (7) have actually a decent week for once, with an overall 2-1 record in 1v1 games. This brings them to a net gain of 3 points, which (funnily enough) is the second best mid-week record.

1v1 -

• Volcano Island:
  
  
  • 125ch209 of French starts off another bootfest, with both a boot and a non-join coming in Volcano Island after a vacation of over 50 days. He gets booted against USA Biches of Turtles and awesomeusername of Blitz. Coincidentally, 125 got booted against the only two players on VI with the same win record, so awesomeusername and Biches both coast to second with their free wins (although awesomeusername is technically above Biches as he won their head-to-head match-up). Meanwhile, 125, formerly undefeated in second place, drops to second-to-last place with these two consecutive losses.

• Strategic Greece [FINISHED]:
  Tournament Winner: AWESOMEGUY (Lynx)
  
  
  • Master Jz of MASTERs defeats Turkish of Turtles in yet another interesting game that was hard to tell who exactly had the advantage (up until the last two turns). This game marks the end of Strategic Greece, making it the second tournament to completely finish (the first being Guiroma). Jz claims fourth place with a neutral 3-3 record, while Turkish ends in fifth with a losing 2-4 record. Krzysztof of Outlaws has the same record as Turkish, but finishes in sixth place due to losing the tiebreaker match-up against Turkish.

• Phobia:
  
  
  • andy903 of Lynx defeats Edge of Outlaws in the "Game of the Week" (I haven't actually done "Game of the Week" before, but figured that since I was writing so much in these updates, the natural thing to do would be to write more). Both played very well and, as a result, the game is very fun to watch; Edge makes some very nice late-game moves while andy demonstrates what he can actually do when he doesn't get booted. Eventually, with andy's income safe and threatening 9 of Edge's income, Edge decides he is at too much of a disadvantage to continue. With this win, andy breaks his 4 game boot streak and receives his first win. Edge gets his first loss and falls from first place as he is no longer undefeated.
    
  • 125ch209 of French continues his bootfest into Phobia, booting on picks against Edge of Outlaws and on Turn 1 against Wini of Blitz. Even more unfortunate, with andy getting his first win on Phobia, 125 currently becomes the only win-less player, which automatically drops him into last place. Ouch. Edge and Wini both get free wins, with Edge racking up his second win on Phobia to tie with Jz in second place, and Wini breaking out of his own tie with Turkish (Turtles) to claim third place all to himself.

Masters (1) get one more win for the week to finish with a net gain of 18 points. They are 2 points away from officially receiving a podium finish, and 33 points away from winning CL9.

ONE! (2) have no completed games since Wednesday, so they finish the week with their mid-week net loss of 2 points.

Lynx (3) even out with andy winning a game to offset his loss on Strat ME earlier in the week.

Turtles (4) both win and lose a 1v1 game, so they have nothing to worsen or improve their poor mid-week net loss of 7 points.

French (5) suffer horribly from 125's boots; in addition to their mid-week net loss of 3 points, they additionally drop 12 points from the four boots by 125 to net a total loss of 15 points this week.

Outlaws (6) continue to copycat Lynx's performance this week (I'm so funny, but nobody's going to see this anyways). They even out with Edge winning and losing a game to offset their further weekly performance. However, they weren't able to offset Krzysztof's loss on Strategic Greece, so their total net change this week is still a loss of 3 points.

Blitz (7) get two free wins since Wednesday, bringing their total free wins this week to 3. They finish the week with a statistically impressive 4-1, but only one of their 4 wins were legitimate. Still, Blitz needs all the points they can get to make a dignified exit from Division A.

All completed games this week were 1v1s, with the huge bootfest accounting for 67% of the completed games. 125's boots have pushed French further into the relegation zone; it remains to be seen whether this is significant enough to allow Outlaws to surpass French. Outlaws have a MP ceiling 9 points higher than French now, but are still 20 points behind French. Someone else do a further in-depth analysis of how 125's boots cost French like Hades did for andy did for Lynx, since I'm not paid enough to do something of that magnitude here. In fact, I'm not even paid at all.

Great update AG!

125ch209 of French starts off another bootfest, with both a boot and a non-join coming in Volcano Island after a vacation of over 50 days.

Congratulations

^ surprise surprise :D

Should'nt Chris have already been booted here? https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=13671888

Should'nt Chris have already been booted here? https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=13671888

Game has been deleted already. The CLOT runs every 3 hours. It checks if any game has a player who hasn't joined in over 3 days. However, if the last update happened at 2d 23h 59m(with respect to the game), then the game wont be deleted until 3d 2hr 59m.

This is by design as Fizzer doesn't want me spamming WL to check for game status too frequently.

ahh gotcha, thanks man.

LEAVE FIZZER ALONE :'(

Update #25 - June 17th:

I will no longer be doing Wednesday updates since the natural pace of competed games has started to slow down again (apart from French's rapid collapse, which I will be detailing in my updates either way).

1v1 -

• Volcano Island:
  
  
  • 125ch209 of French improves his resume for the post of "Darkpie of CL9" by failing to join his game on Volcano Island against Master Jz of MASTERS (Jz probably has won the "Most Likely to Benefit off of Darkpie Candidates" category at this point as well). 125 gets his third straight auto-loss, while Jz continues to rack up victories on Volcano Island.
    
  • Jz also hands Wick of ONE! his first loss (and first completed game), which brings her total win record to an astounding 5-0. The only person left who can potentially win on Volcano Islands now (apart from Jz) is alexclusive of Lynx; however, alexclusive must win all of his remaining games including against Jz herself. Deja Vu back to Strategic Greece for Lynx it seems...

• African Elitism:
  Tournament Winner: master of desaster (MASTERs)
  
  
  • master of desaster of MASTERs nabs his second 1v1 tournament win (the third overall for Masters) by defeating Bonsai of Outlaws. MoD finishes AE with a very impressive 5-1 record in yet another difficult tournament (Buns's current 2-3 record is enough proof of how stacked AE is), as he has now defeated both players (Hades and Bonsai) who could still match his own win record. Bonsai gets his first loss and falls into 4th place for now, but can still get as high as second place if he wins all of his remaining games.

• Phobia:
  
  
  • Master Jz of MASTERs defeats Wini of Blitz. Jz receives her third win on Phobia, while Wini finishes all his games on Phobia with an even 3-3 record.
    
  • Edge of Outlaws beats Jz, slightly marring her win record this week. While, previously,
    Edge and Jz were tied in second place with each having a 2-1 record, Edge instead increases his rating to 3-1 at the expense of dropping Jz's rating to 3-2.
    
  • 125's disappearance drags French into another two auto-losses, with Turtles and ONE! now benefiting from free wins. malakkan gets his fourth win on Phobia, with the game between him and Edge likely deciding who wins the tournament (assuming Edge wins his other game against Turkish). Turkish gets his third win and moves to tie with Jz in third place with an overall 3-2 record. French get two more losses on Phobia and have subbed 125 out for his last game with Marechal Lannes. Lannes now has a shot at redeeming his poor performance on Greece, where he went winless. His possible motivation for redemption could cause an upset against Jz (who also played Greece for Masters and, consequently, defeated Lannes) which could salvage French's poor performance on yet another 1v1 tournament. As it now stands, French have 4 losses and no wins on Phobia.

• Strat ME:
  Tournament Winner: #Master [QB] (MASTERs)
  
  
  • USA Biches of Turtles has 3 wins on Strat ME this week, which seems impressive...until you realize he didn't actually win any of them. andy093 of Lynx boots once again, 13CHRIS37 of Blitz doesn't even join the game, and (most painful of all) Niko of French gets booted in a game he had completely won. Biches catches a big break from his former meager 0-2 record, and moves into fourth place. He can force a three-way tie for second place if he manages to beat Krzysztof of Outlaws (as all three will have a 4-2 record, with their head-to-head matchups being unable to resolve the tie). On the bottom end of the spectrum, Chris (Blitz) finishes in third-to-last place with a 2-4 record, andy (Lynx) finishes second-to-last with the same 2-4 record (having lost to Chris in their head-to-head matchup bumps him below Chris), and Niko (French) becomes the second player in French's lineup to go completely winless in a 1v1 tournament (although he technically did deserve 1-5).

3v3 -

• Deadman's Rise of Rome:
  
  
  • Outlaws have a good week on RoR, defeating both Lynx (handing them their first loss on RoR) and French. Lynx fall from first place into second with this loss (making Masters the only undefeated team now), while Outlaws bridge their record gap between Lynx to tie in second place with them (obviously also with a 4-1 record). French finish all their games on RoR with an even 3-3 record.

1v1 -

• Volcano Island:
  Tournament Winner: Master Jz (MASTERs)
  
  
  • Njord of Outlaws defeats alexclusive of Lynx in the Game of the Week. This win is significant in two ways: one, it becomes Outlaws' first win on VI as Nynwhen went winless before he was subbed; two, it certifies Jz as the winner of the tournament as alexclusive can no longer compete for first place (he now has two losses). Therefore, regardless of whether Jz wins or loses her final game on VI against alex, alex cannot grab enough wins to win the head-to-head tiebreaker against Jz in order to claim first place. Congrats Jz!
    
    Here is the Njord/alexclusive game for those interested: https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=13516952

• African Elitism:
  Tournament Winner: master of desaster (MASTERs)
  
  
  • Buns157 of Turtles defeats Bonsai of Outlaws. Buns finishes AE with an even 3-3 record, while Bonsai is dealt his second loss.
    
  • Bonsai makes up for his loss by beating Memele of Blitz. Bonsai moves to an overall 3-2 win record, and the final game on AE of Bonsai against Hades of Lynx will decide who finishes second (as both have defeated Wazz, so whoever wins the match will have also won the head-to-head tiebreaker against French). Memele finishes winless and AE becomes the fourth tournament where Blitz was completely shut out.
  
  Standings ~ MASTERs: 5-1 / Lynx: 4-1 / French: 4-2 / Outlaws: 3-2 / Turtles: 3-3 / ONE!: 1-5 / Blitz: 0-6
  
  
• Phobia:
  Tournament Winner: malakkan (ONE!)
  
  
  • malakkan of ONE! defeats Edge of Outlaws. With this win, malakkan becomes the only player who can (and already has) achieve a 5-1 win record (as Edge was the only one left who could've contested first place), so he officially wins the tournament. Meanwhile, Edge falls with his latest loss to create a three-way tie for second place. It is not clear yet how this tie will resolve until further games on Phobia are completed. However, regardless of the outcome of those games, malakkan still remains the victor on Phobia. Congrats malakkan!

Masters (1) have completed no games since the last update.

ONE! (2) get two wins (one 1v1 and one 2v2) for a net gain of 7 points. They also claim their second tournament victory with Phobia going to malakkan.

Lynx (3) only lose this week, with a 1v1 and 3v3 loss accounting for a MP ceiling drop and net loss of 8 points.

Turtles (4) grab a 1v1 win for a net gain of 3 points.

Outlaws (5) have quite positive results, with their stellar 3v3 performance offsetting a slightly poor 1v1/2v2 record. Outlaws win all completed 3v3 games at the time of this update, raising their TP by a much needed 15 points. In the 1v1/2v2 area, they have an even 2-2 record in 1v1 wins, however the only completed 2v2 game at the time of this update resulted in a loss for Outlaws, slightly spoiling their excellent results elsewhere. However, Outlaws still have a net gain of 11 points, which is definitely a good sign for them in their fight against relegation.

French (6) don't have a terrible week - only having a net loss of 5 points from their one completed game (a loss on RoR). However, keeping in mind that that their loss on RoR was against their direct relegation rivals Outlaws and with the damage from 125ch's boots now fully becoming apparent, they have traded places with Outlaws and are now the most likely candidate to claim the second relegation spot.

Blitz (7) like Lynx have a 1v1 and 3v3 loss accounting for a net loss of 8 points.

Great update, and tnx för the time you put into this! :)

It looks really good for us now. We got a lot of points also against our direct rivals for the relegation spot. On RoR we got 2 important wins and especially the game against Lynx was an up and down match, very hard to play, but fun and interesting to watch.

Congratz to malakkan on his Phobia win. I'm confident in myself to solve that three way tie and hopefully finish 2nd.

Well done Outlaws! After a concerning start, you are back into the race!

:) ^^ Nice to be correct in my own thoughts.

10-23 to 26-32 fucking unreal to be part of a comeback like this...

Not over yet.. French are still in the battle and anything can happen at this stage we wish best of luck to them. It's still going to be a exciting end for the relegation battle.
