Season 6 Playoffs!

[IainC]

Right, the season is (finally) over and so we can move onto the playoffs. The following teams are in the playoffs and should join the playoff league as soon as possible:

Drogg (Hordes Champion)
Ruvaldt (Hordes 2nd)
Ramas (Hordes 3rd)
Ezrast (Hordes 4th - beats Avaia on TD difference)

Ingmar (Tamurkhan Champion - on TD difference)
Ulysees (Tamurkhan 2nd)
Megrim (Tamurkhan 3rd)
IainC (Tamurkhan 4th)

Brocktoon (40k Champion)
Teleku (40k 2nd - on H2H)
Catfud (40k 3rd)
Paelos (40k 4th)

Comstar (top wildcard 12 points)
Avaia (2nd wildcard 11 points)
Lamaros (3nd wildcard 9 points)
Proudft (4th wildcard 6 points - beats Haemish on TD difference)

The league is already created; it's called f13 Season 6 Playoffs and has the password fearchange.

Quit the current league and join that as soon as you can please.

I managed toscrew up the end of season for Tamurkhan and 40k and started a new season by mistake - this means that the stats for the last day and the calendar view are lost and I had to recreate the tables from the day 6 results and BBManager. Please can someone who's been paying attention (Ingmar?) double check that I didn't make any horrible mistakes in working out who is in.

Seeding for the playoffs will be as follows:
Champion Hordes v 4th Wildcard
Champion Tamurkhan v 3rd Wildcard
Champion 40k v 2nd Wildcard
2nd Hordes v top Wildcard
2nd Tamurkhan v 4th 40k
2nd 40k v 4th Hordes
3rd Hordes v 4th Tamurkhan
3rd Tamurkhan v 3rd 40k

[Ingmar]

Looks right to me.

[Megrim]

Nice work commish. Its about time we rolled on with this.

[proudft]

Augh I get to try to connect with drogg again?   

Curse youuuuuu Comcast!

[lamaros]

Looks right to me.

Well, that's me done. Congratulations on making the next round Ingmar. 

[Comstar]

I'm not on steam much due to unreliable wireless, but I've applied.

Ruvaldt (Hordes 2nd). Whelp, there goes my playoff contention.

[Ruvaldt]

We meet again, Comstar!

[Modern Angel]

In. Ready to grind you all under orcish boot heels!

[drogg]

Curse youuuuuu Comcast!

[Llyse]

Applied!

[Ingmar]

applicated

[Megrim]

Vamplied.

[drogg]

i'm in!

[eldaec]

My Rats applied last weekend, metaphorically speaking a one turn application.

[Ingmar]

Looks right to me.

Well, that's me done. Congratulations on making the next round Ingmar. 

You never know, any goblin team that makes the playoff cut at all is a goblin team to take seriously. Plus somehow I lost to Amazons 4-0 last playoffs so you can't discount Nuffle or me making horrible errors. 

[avaia]

Orc v Nurgle, I predict a 6-5 win for me.

Yeah, but I got through by beating up on lower AV guys with my chainsaw and Trolls, then running out tight victories. I'm not even sure I'll be able to get a knockdown with all the guard you have, and I have literally no other tricks apart from hoping for 1TDDs and stalling.

Still, the goblins will give it their best.

[Ulysees]

Have applied to the playoff league.

[Megrim]

Letting you guys know in advance, I'm going to be out of the country between the 9th and 21st Oct, so pre-emptive apologies for any delays.

[lamaros]

Playing XCOM isn't 'out of the country'. 

[Megrim]

Playing XCOM isn't 'out of the country'. 

No, its worse than that. I'll be hard at work on a beach at Fiji. So you know, I'm heartbroken tbh.

[IainC]

I'm back on the 3rd and I'll set things up as soon as I'm back. Would be great if you could play your first round match before you go away.

[Megrim]

I think its with Paelos, so tz difference might be a bit rough. I will try to aim to get round finished regardless.

[Ulysees]

According to the groupings I make it you V Catfud (Lyse) which I think works better for you in terms of the timezones, so fingers crossed you get that match in before you have to go.

Ingmar (Tamurkhan Champion - on TD difference)
Ulysees (Tamurkhan 2nd)
Megrim (Tamurkhan 3rd)
IainC (Tamurkhan 4th)

Brocktoon (40k Champion)
Teleku (40k 2nd - on H2H)
Catfud (40k 3rd)
Paelos (40k 4

3rd Tamurkhan v 3rd 40k

[Megrim]

Oh, it is too. LET THE SPARKLE MAGIC COMMENCE.

[Paelos]

Yeah I still have to sign up for this.

Completely forgot after MoP came out.

[Llyse]

If Commissioner IainC is back from drinking/fighting/schmoking me and Megrim will be playing this weekend to rain on his Fijian parade.

[Paelos]

I still forgot to sign up. Ugh. Have to do it tonight. I will be available this weekend for the first time in a while.

[Paelos]

Applied.

[IainC]

Playoffs have begun and seeding is done. Go, play.

[Ulysees]

Will keep a look out for you on Steam Paelos, if we miss each other today will probably have to shoot for next weekend due to the time difference.

[Modern Angel]

avaia. You. Me. My ORC FIST

[drogg]

2-1 HHB over the Whalers - was a little anxious heading into this after the last two punishments HHB received, and after proudft and i had had so much trouble connecting, but inexplicably we connected the first try and it was smooth as silk from there on out.  Lots of punishment for the aluminumed whalers, with six injuries and HHB dominance of the field.  only one skull fracture, otherwise nada permanent.  the whaler score came from an audacious push with two turns to go in the second half ending in a perfect blitz that swept away the blodge sidestep skink trying to dam the tide.  kudos to proudft for a dogged performance despite the rotten die luck.

edit: uploaded the match to f13 season 6 as day 10.  hope that doesn't screw anything up!

[proudft]

Through the miracle of modern technology drogg and I somehow connected on the first try.  Maybe something really WAS broken with Comcast?

The cold-blooded lizards were victorious 2-1.  This was always going to be an uphill battle for the Whalers and their unimpressive record vs. the undefeated lizardmen, but the first half rapidly moved it from 'uphill' to 'nearly impossible' with a (to use the technical term) shitload of injuries and KOs, leaving 3 humans on the field after the lizard's first TD near the end of the half.

The second half was much more even, as all the KOed humans woke up with the help of Bloodweiser brew, and the injuries were somewhat covered by substitute players.  Lizards were more easily separated and a few skinks went down, but after the first half it was too little, too late to divert the lizard juggernaut.  The lizards scored again, and it was 2-0 with about three turns left.  A human catcher made a suicide run with the ball and ran over a skink for a token TD, and then it was over.

A human blitzer got a -1 AV injury but the other injuries were all Badly Hurts, somehow, so despite the drubbing the Whalers may be back in a future season.  They do seem to be somewhat coming together, despite their pitiful record!
