Season 24 Semifinal Round
« on: January 16, 2017, 03:31:56 am »
:FMLN:

Welcome back! First congratulations to the round 5 winners qwest, Tleilaxu, Dinamo, Slythe, AlienWareOwnZ and Renaud x2! This round had many great games and it is with sadness that not all players can proceed to the next stage. However, this was the make-or-break round and it came extremely close between many players, with most places needing to be decided by tie break. Without further ado, these are the two players that will proceed directly to your season 24 finals:

:Switzerland::hu: noexxx
:USA::ra: AlienWareOwnZ

And here are your two semifinal matches:

Semifinal 1
:Germany::hu: GEASS
:Peru::ud: NoMercy2
:Russia::ud: qwest
:Peru::hu: Zs.SuperCumulo


Semifinal 2
:Kazakhstan::ud: DV-
:Germany::ra: Slythe
:Russia::ne: Dinamo
:Finland::ra: Rain

Having the highest scores, GEASS and DV- will be granted the option of selecting the map for their respective matches. Maps must be chosen from the collective map pools from this season, and must be chosen within 48 hours (if not selected in time, admins will choose the map). Games should be played before 29 January. Good luck!

DV-

Alien beat opponents who in total accumulated more points than those Geass beat.

FML really wanna prevent any German to become Champ. Weakud out due to dubios tiebreaker and Cumo´s only bonsai malus points and Geass overteamed by subs Renaud and Mog, so the preferred American can make it directly into finals instead plus again the cloudy Tiebreaker.

We need Judge Shave for a close revision of these events.

And i call ponty to his side, because same as Germany, France never was allowed to win enough to gain the title and even heavily punished with -points.

You are two Peruvians in one Semi, so the chance of a Peruvian going into the final and winning the belt is higher? :D

And i bet there played around 25 different Germans in the league, but only 2-3 Peruvians at best.

Haha, Worp, the following joke comes into my mind ( hope the transaltion is correct):

A woman at the psychologist:

The psychologist: Do you suffer from delusional ideas?

The woman: No, i enjoy them.


And eeeeh, at the end of the season it´s often a bit boring, so i am trying to make something up (since i am not really into the mapmaking besides playing some of those), don´t nip things in the bud with your almighty admin behaviour ;-D.

Semifinal 1
:Germany::hu: GEASS
:Peru::ud: NoMercy2
:Russia::ud: qwest
:Peru::hu: Zs.SuperCumulo

I don't really think this will be the result - probably comes down to Humie and Supes.  I would have said Humie before last week, but by god if Renaud can whoop you in the mirror I am sure Supes can.  Qwest's chances come down to map choice, and I doubt Humie can think that strategicorically.  That said Undead is the worst race to ever come out in a Blizzard game, so Qwest has about a ~2% chance of winning.

Oh yeah that other guy in this game!  Well, he will likely get tomed by Humieor Supes, but if he doesnt (~25% chance Merc survives the 30 minute mark) I would say hes the odds on favorite to win.  I mean... he is not even a remote threat in this lineup, and he's won all the games where we could say that.  Maybe he has mastered that art of Cloak of Invisibility? 

If I was Humie I would probably play a smaller map like Fountain of Manip or Lost Temple. 


Semifinal 2
:Kazakhstan::ud: DV-
:Germany::ra: Slythe
:Russia::ne: Dinamo
:Finland::ra: Rain

I actually think all of the players have a pretty equal shot in this match, slight edge goes to Rain and DV-, but a pretty stacked line up either way.  I hope I get to cast this Q_Q!  I think DV should pick a more macro intensive map and use his Gloves of Manip +12 to have everyone fight his battles.  He may get impatient and pick something like Silverpine though, which has Macro elements but is overall a pretty small map/short game.

Since Rain and DV- pick whatever race they feel like playing that day, and Slythe randoms its hard to say who will come out on top.  The only things I can predict are rage between DV and Slythe, Rain being indecisive, and Dinamo complaining about American Teamers.   I think Rain is the least likely to ruffle feathers in this game, and has the best micro, so I'll say he wins.
