TSM having already beaten IA and KoRT's 'demise' with a tie with the Transformers ( I can't remember their name at the moment ) only leaves Tofu as the #1 contender. Not sure if it's a completely valid point you're making, but I can respect it nonetheless. You guys are definitely #1 and everyone wants a piece of you which comes with the territory.... they want to play you guys as much as you wanted to play us ( TSM ) and I don't see holding off the inevitable.
I see what you're saying, but my point is that lineup alone isn't enough. There's an art (or science) to clan challenges, picking teams and maps and figuring out matchups, plus getting a disparate group of people to work well together within a game, often with little experience playing with each other. I think the Kort-G1 challenge proved that there's more the being a top clan than having a roster of elite players.

So if we practically tie, similar to the 1 game difference in THOTA vs TSM, can we even declare any one of us better than the other? There may be a point when all three of these clans are so good that only variations in the dice and a little bit of luck on the drop can sway the board one way or the other. I don't anticipate any of these clans should be able to blow the others out of the water which is why, in some respects, ranking these clans is a little tricky.
I think that's a fair point, and it fits into my general sentiment about CC, which is that everything comes down to the balance between difference in skill level and difference in luck. All the amazing dice in the world won't help two noobs beat CoF and Dako, or Scott and laddi, or Blitz and BW, but pit any of those teams against each other and the slightest edge in terms of overall good fortune (in drop, cards, or dice) will probably be enough to turn the tide.

Actually looking back at that challenge, there is nothing I or anybody from KORT would do differently. We played mostly simplish maps and dice played a big roll there. When someone like Prism goes 3-5 overall while playing as he normally would that says a lot if you ask me. Dice happen sometimes, and we could back and forth about it, but they do happen.


P.S. Everybody will finally get what they want in an Epic Match up. KORT vs TOFU. Just remember TOFU taste gross. ;)

Epic eh? We'll be lucky to fill all of the games -- most of us are on vacation or are taking a break from CC right now.

You do know there is a break before the match starts. I am sure you will get the games filled up.

It is in this one if it is finished. The CCup will fall under other events based on the large gap in ranking, which will ruin some clan's OWP.

It's been rejected, I'm going to attempt to do something else if the clans are ready for it.

I'm not the only one that couldn't figure out why I couldn't see this ranking!

I too was drunk when looking for it.

I feel a bit better now.

Better because you weren't supposed to see it, or better because you're sober? :D

Is it possible to have an update on this? Would help significantly in deciding the Power rankings as well. #-o

If you look at the top post this page, JP says this has been rejected. So I don't think it will be updated.

Actually we should probably unsticky this so it floats down the list

True, I forgot about that.
Still, it may have given a nice indication if all that needs to be done is input some values 8-[

I agree. Whilst it may not be perfect it does serve as a good point of reference. Without info such as this the Power Rankings depend on people doing quite a bit of history checking to see what has gone down over the past 12 months.
