Re: Competition - predict the Clan League - winner: pmchugh

It is hilarious to see how far off everyone is in Div. B. Waaaaay over estimating BPB and AOD. BPB may end up in last here. We are looking at somewhere between 14-4 and 12-6 to push them further down. AOD was a big shock. Our 17-1 set really set them back. No one gave enough credit to Myth or Devils Brigade who both were tough as hell and battling it out for 2nd place.

From my point of view, 3 months of premium isn't nearly motivating enough.

Let's refrain from making non-researched statements.

There is a 4 game gap between you and the last place teams (2 are tied). You are losing your last set by at least a 6 game spread. If those two clans, who are playing one another, split, you will be in last. I didn't say you will be, just that you may end up in last.

Once again do your research, we still have games against both AoD and mythology that haven't been finished and are close to wins.

and everyone also seems to want to avoid the 600 pound pink elephant sitting in the corner... the rules of the CLA were changed to handicap us... period... pretty funny when you think about it...-the black jesus

[lord voldemort]

yes they were out to get you

[owenshooter]

yes they were out to get you

explain changing the rules to negate miki/superrag. the clan leauge is now an
emphasis on quads mostly. the dubs games have been cut by more than 80 percent
to negate the 2 best doubles players on the site. fact...-the black jesus

[lord voldemort]

no there are less doubles as its not a good indication of clan strength...a majority of the clan world feel that trips and quads are a better representation...maybe your cla rep should of spoken up about it
imo it should just be evenly split between dubs trips and quads...they are all team games ffs.

Just some stats for you Owen

BPB in Clan League Games

Doubles 10 wins 10 losses (mikiesdios and Superrag 5 wins and 7 loses)
Trips 7 wins 17 losses
Quads 15 wins and 16 losses

I agree they are one of the best dubs teams I have ever played, I don't see how the changes affected you very much, as you were .500 in doubles games. Granted some games are ongoing and these will change a little, but I don't think it will affect much.

[Commander62890]

January update for the predictions?

[Commander62890]

Or maybe you should just wait until the League is over, which should be soon, right? I am uninformed...

Edit: sorry for double post; I meant to edit, not post again

[laughingcavalier]

Well Commander I can see why you wanted an update...
You have taken the lead from pmchugh... with jrh_cardinal tied with you.
It'll be an exciting finish.
Good luck all

[Commander62890]

Haha I obviously didn't think that was gonna happen...

lol the 2 best doulbes players on the site is not a fact but an opinion and a pretty biased one at that. Also not really sure how you can justify this statement when they went 6-9 in the CL3. Either way, there has been a shift in the clan world to more trips/quads and thus the clan league adjusted as well not sure how you view this as people trying to handicap you. Did this hurt you, yes it probably did but if you were a great clan you would be able to adjust to the newer trends of clan competition.

[Leehar]

Lol, nice to see that two of us Nemesis guys are in 3/4 and the main reason for that is because Nem actually fell behind so much in the predictions
So either we should have been more conservative, or just played better

[jrh_cardinal]

wow, didn't think I was doing this well, lets go my teams

[pmchugh]

"Nemesis 22 games behind average prediction"

I better at least win this competition to make up for the rest of CL3

Now can I say it? And my statement was well researched then. You will be tied for last with AOD in Div. B, which surprises everyone including me. As for the Mikie/Rag discussion, seems like they did not do as well as they were supposed to. I played them in 2 dubs in this. We won both, and I am admittedly not a good dubs player. I guess we got lucky.

"Nemesis 22 games behind average prediction"

Seriously. What the hell happened to you guys? You are waaaay better than this record.

I wish I knew myself, I guess I put it down to busyness but still you would expect better than that. Every week was terrible, every single one of them.

We have yet to do well in the CLA really I have no idea why, but I don't think the format fits well with how we play, whatever that means
I guess we'll just keep doing well in wars and work from there instead.

[Lubawski]

We did poorly in seasons 1 and 2. We always knew we were better than our results, but we didn't take it seriously like we would a challenge. This year was different. I know Nemesis is top notch, especially after the big win against Legion. I'm looking forward to seeing your next big clan win.

[Bruceswar]

I have to say... it is about time Empire steps up and takes the bull by the horns. Lets see how they do in the playoffs.

I have a strong feeling that this is how we are taking things as well, just not very seriously.

The ass-whooping you all gave us in the Cup put us into gear. We've been flying high since, and we've got plenty of fuel. I don't see us slowing down any time soon. We lost two of our best during this Season for at least one of the rounds, but we have more than enough depth and chemistry right now that we are comfortable putting anyone forward anywhere right now (hence the all-random map challenge). It's our time now.
