Calling my post on skype 'stupid as fuck' has really triggered me!

On a serious note, I'm not sure if you are aware of who is actually playing for TJC in CL9. There are only 3 alts, Rikku, Dr.love and myself. I find it hard to believe that finishing 3rd in this group would somehow be 'disappointing,' but, each to their own I guess.

Sorry if I triggered you. Wasn't my point, still, judging skills of a team by their 1v1 ladder ratings is kinda irrelevant.

Also, I, as many others, thought Innerspeaker was Pulsey, but it was obviously wrong, since it seems to be you :p

I thought I did a good job at conveying the sarcasm, you can say whatever you want. I think everyone judges by stats hence why we were ranked 4th in the Q3 predictions, I was trying to illustrate that in my original post. I was just puzzled that finishing 3rd would be considered choking for us when the community didn't seem to have high expectations of us anyway.

I think it is a very interesting and balanced group. It is a bit sad, that only 2 clans will qualify, but so far a lot of interesting games did happen in this group.

If my predictions are correct, it will be a very close race between 1st and 4th (<10 points). TJC and Apprentice have a solid lead, but a lot of points can be distributed in the missing games.

Maybe it is an idea for next season to let all 3rd of the qualifier groups play one small game against each other(short boot/real time) for another spot in C to balance the qualifier groups. I know it may take some time and we have to see, how fast qualifier groups and C will end, but in general I like this idea.

1v1 ladder ratings aren't irrelevant when determining a players skill and potential.

In my opinion, good ladder ratings is an indicator of skill but bad or no ladder ratings isn't a sign of lack of skill. That's why judging predictions just off stats is silly as you are ignoring talented players that may just have not had a proper crack at the ladder.

How is my alt clan doing...

Coming into this week we see a change in leadership! Apprentice have snuck into first place ahead of TJC. The other standings stay the same this week, every game is becoming more and more crucial! Some 3v3 wins are coming in and most are progressing further into the late game! and well.....DWF still haven't won a 2v2 or a 3v3 :(

cheers,
Apollo

TJC is the best clan!

Look at the spreadsheet if you want to actually see like points and what not I cbf writing them up.

Coming into this week we see a change in leadership! TJC has come out of nowhere to steal 1st place. Congratulations to Ikillu for sweeping 2v2 Guiroma (thanks for puppeting me too), surely the big clans will come knocking now, he is the only player to go flawless in this group of death. Meanwhile, Apprentice have slid down to 3rd, but they have a strong 3v3 team so perhaps they can still fight their way up to the promotion spots. Any of the top 4 clans can still promote though so GL all.

Game of the week: I'm only aware of one game finishing this week (2v2 Guiroma) and it was extremely boring. Therefore, I'll link a game from Q2 on Volcano Island with an interesting chat.

Sai showed me his nude photo. :x

wow I wasn't aware we have such talents in TJC! GG Ikillu!

at D - CL8, ikillu did 11-1 (his defeat was because of a teammate abandoning warlight, when his team had a big income advantage), so its not a surprise for me if ikillu sweep other tourneys.

Congrats, Ikillu and Innerspeaker for a clean 5-0. Very impressive and not that easy in such a group.
I am always a bit confused by all the alts in TJC. Would have been great to have a list ;-)

Things are getting even closer in our group (at least for 2-4th atm). Now it pretty much comes down to the head-to-head matches on dRoR. Hard to tell exactly what happens there.

I apologize for missing the update last week, I was in Thailand competing in a chess tournament. However moving further we can see that TJC has stolen first place! Coming in with strong plays in the 3v3 tournaments, Statisticians are in second place trying to reach TJC. 101st showing again that they shouldn't be counted out are in 3rd place ahead of Apprentice who had a good start to the league but have wavered a little. HAWKS and DWF are still in 4th and 5th place struggling for some points.

cheers,

The final games in this division are like results of royal rumble. Whoever manages to win the last few games decides which of the top 4 clans will be promoting. But, nice comeback for 101st-who, i believe, have most number of boots.

We still are at a point where two 3v3 games have not yet started , this should add another month give or take onto Q3 before C has even started. C should last at least the amount of time Q3 has (few weeks more or less?) maybe finally giving A a rival for slowest division. Now it isn't so bad this season but might be something to think about the format.
