mosquitero is right; there was an effort to establish leagues A & B, but JSA went AWOL after organising A, so the active clans in leagues B & C formed league B.

ill let tsumiki do the official update, but the warlighters now officially have no chance of being promoted

JSA tried to do all three leagues, but many leaders of B and C did not respond.

I think JSA was busy enough at the time that he wasn't able to put much effort into getting lineups for group B. (Or even making a forum thread about the clan league until group A started.) I remember VIW being interested very early on but we didn't even know how to submit our lineup.

I think going forward it would be a good idea to have multiple people help to organize the clan league, as it's really too much for just one person. The way we organized group B worked out well, where Apollo, I, and I think JUPITER were involved in getting lineups from clans, and all JSA had to do was make the tournaments. Even updates were handled organically, by Gnuffone in the group A thread and Kerosea/Tsumiki in this group B thread. The new clans and private messages systems should be a big help as well in terms of contacting clans and clan leaders.

I think better organization, better advertising on the forums, and better communication with clans should make the next season a big success. It wouldn't surprise me if we end up having 3 or 4 groups participate.

Master Race is inactive for 40+ days, the question is what should we do with his game vs. Polakillo?

Personally I think Master should be allowed to put another player in considering Polakillo's already in on merit alone.

Anyway, here's were we stand!

GG and 101st have 1 game left on the 2v2 Medium Earth Map! If GG wins, then they secure the win and VIW also promotes. If 101st wins, then they tie with GG, possibly forcing a playoff to decide which of the two clans (101st or GG) promotes to Group A.

VIW currently has 4 points left to take, both in 2v2's! They have to face MC in East Asia & Oceania, and Warlighters in Medium Earth. If they win both games, then they secure the win overall. If they win only one of the two games, then 101st must win the GG vs. 101st battle for VIW to win. If VIW wins none of the two games, then GG must win the GG vs. 101st battle for VIW to promote.

Warlighters, unfortunately, have been knocked out of the running for first place - However; if they win the rest of their games, and 101st loses their battle against GG, then 101st and Warlighters will be tied for 3rd place.

There is a battle for 5th place right now! Master is 3 points ahead of MC, but MC has 4 more points to go. However; Master also has one more point to take out. Meanwhile, Dragon is 1 point ahead of MC - but with Dragon out of points to gain, they can't do anything if MC wins any of their games. If MC wins both of their games, and Master loses their last game, then MC will be 5th. If MC wins one of their games, then Master will be 5th and MC 6th. If MC loses both games, then Master will be 5th and Dragon 6th, with MC 7th. If Group C is formed next season, then avoiding the 7th place finish is of importance, as the last two groups can be relegated!

---

GG: 59 points, 61 maximum - (Might be promoted)
VIW: 58 points, 62 maximum - (Might be promoted)
101st: 57 points, 59 maximum - (Might be promoted)

Warlighters: 52 points, 57 maximum

Masters: 33 points, 34 maximum
Dragon: 31 points [All games finished] - (Might be relegated*}
MC: 30 points, 34 maximum - (Might be relegated*)

BR: 7 points [All games finished] - (Will be relegated*)

*Assuming enough clans join that Group C is able to be formed.

This time, it's the Europe tournament that has been finished! Featuring a 3-way tie for second, a 7-0 flawless victory, and a 0-7 flawless defeat! Also, this tournament is the main reason for Master's fall from grace, as they had to fight with one man down for the most part.


To be honest, the results should have looked a lot different...

tsumiki thanks but no thanks, Master Race already cost us any chance at anything in the season so we don't need to salvage one point

Gosh, no pressure or anything :x Go VIW! Go 101st! XD

I agree we need a number of people to help organize the League almost one person per tournament seems necessary that way they can monitor the tournament and deal with any problems that occur in that tournament as needed

Ok as far as the regulating do the low teams from League A drop to League B to replace the teams that move up?

As far as Clan C it should be slightly easier to organize the Clan League with the new clans page that we have now since we already have the League A & B organized the simplest method would be to contact leaders of the additional clans. I may be willing to help with league organization when the time comes around again.

yeah REGL and chinese character clan are moving down

:/

Mon the Weirdos!

I'm happy to help again next season. It's nice to see VIW and 101st keeping up with GG. As much as I would like to get promoted, our 2v2 games not looking great :/

i would liike to point out the only reason we are keeping up with them is because of the boots in their 2v2 tournament

Yeah, boots are a shame. We had two players retire during League A. Not sure we would have won it, but we would have given WM/Apex a run for their money for sure if we didn't have boots (we also didn't have Tenshi in the clan until just after it started).

Instead I take solace in seeing 3 of [WG] in the top 8 on 1v1 ladder and 3 in top 5 on 2v2 ladder.

Well, one more can't hurt, can it?



Also, with this, we have all of the tournament winners! Here they are!

1v1 #2 - Mannerheim [GG] (6-1)
1v1 #3 - Green Storm [GG] (6-1)
1v1 #4 - General Arun [Warlighter] (6-1)
2v2 ME - FlyingBurrito / Lord Syvedyas [VIW] (7-0 or 6-1)
2v2 EA - Dom365 / gRrEn [101st] (7-0)
3v3 EU - JUPITER / Mannerheim / mosquitero [GG] (7-0)

GG - 3 tournament wins
VIW - 2 tournament wins
101st - 1 tournament win
Warlighter - 1 tournament win

With 101st's surrender/elimination, GG and VIW are the two clans moving onto Group A next season!

1/2. GG - 61 pts. -> Promoting to Group A
1/2. VIW - 58 pts, max 62 -> Promoting to Group A
3. 101st - 57 pts. -> Staying in Group B
3/4. Warlighter - 53 pts, max 57 -> Staying in Group B
5/6. Master - 33 pts. -> Staying in Group B
6/7. Dragon - 31 pts. -> Unknown (If 6th, stays in Group B; if 7th, Relegates to Group C*)
5/6/7. MC - 30 pts, max 34 pts. -> Unknown (If 5th/6th, stays in Group B, if 7th, Relegates to Group C*)
8. BR - 7 pts. -> Relegates to Group C*

*Assuming enough interest for a Group C. With CPU's split into three, as well as other clans being interested, I believe Group C will be formed.

Thx for the the periodic updates, Tsumiki! Just one question: do you really think any of group B s clans can be relegated to group C? I ask this, because in order to relegate from group B dont you need a result from (the nonexisting) group C in order to replace the relegated Clans by Clans promoted from group C? So, imho, the next seasons lineup of clans for group A and B is already complete.

I agree mosquitero but I do think we shouldn't be including BR in group B anymore since they've clearly been inactive the whole tournament.
As such it would be a shame to let them stay in a seemingly higher ranked league.

BR was kind of inactive, true. But lets keep in mind: originally also a group C was intended. So, BR ended up in group B because there was no group C for them. So, i give em at least credit for having the balls to participate in group B while probably knowing in advance about the strength of the other clans in that group. So, as a matter of fairness, i d propose to leave it up to BR if they again want to participate in group B or C. I believe they are smart enough to make the right decision, cant be fun for them to lose almost all games. Moreover, who else has the authority to decide what clan in a newly formed group C should replace BR clan?

Sadly Seahawks and I are unable to win against Mordred/Nyan... even if VIW wins the final game on the medium earth map we will be 1 point short of GG. So congrats to GG for winning group B despite a whole bunch of boots! Pick your lineup more carefully next season and I think you'll give WM/WG/apex/AHoL a run for their money. :)

Meanwhile VIW is gonna have a fun time playing against some really tough players :D
