Week 6 - Did you even believe we would make this far?
When I first started talking about creating a SC2 league a friend of mine painted a grim picture of only SupR playing their matches 'till the end while others are quitting left and right. Fortunately, we have managed to play every clan war when they were due. Big thanks goes to the great managers who have taken this league seriously enough and carry some of the heavy weight of responsibility that I have handed over to them.
However, despite these glowing words I have to say this week has been the low point of the league because you have generally done your job so well. Here is how I think each team has fared this week.
Suprian:
Reason: Suprian is the staple of the league who relentlessly shows dedication mainly thanks to Divinesia. Battle report & Replays uploaded in a timely fashion. Good Job :)
Figure05:
Reason: I have nothing to complain about Figure05. They do their job and are actively scheduling their matches well before the deadline. They have already scheduled their week 6 clan war. If only Figure05 had seven other sub squads...
Insane Sectoids:
Reason: Quejinho shows no resentment towards the daily duties of a team manager. I guess that's why Insane Sectoids coupled with Suprian are the only teams that DID send in the replays.
Pwnanza:
Reason: I think Poffs is actually one of the few people who actually contact me if they have got a problem with scheduling or whatever instead of just doing nothing and wait until' I start asking what's going on. Obviously, Poffs is one of the few grown men here who don't need mommy telling them what to do.
seeN:
Reason: I am disappointed at Huntress how she handled things. I told her to write the battle report and upload the replays. She complied with a smile. However, nothing seems to be done. I have to thank Mat though for stepping in. I guess you should never send a boy to do a man's job.
SupR Talents:
Reason: I think you guys are taking too much for granted for being my pals. I see nothing done when you actually end up winning (battle report + replays missing). Moreover, I don't like to be your teams manager and schedule every war for you (I'm not listed in the profile now am I).
GrowUP:
Reason: Even though Diogo eventually told me they are having problems with scheduling (thanks for that) he didn't notify me until' at Friday. I can't really give you a thumbs up for a job I expect every manager to do without saying.
YoYoTech:
Reason: It's a shame such a great clan is slacking in little things. Why is it so hard to upload the replays to the website database instead of some foreign place. It takes exactly the same effort.
That being said, I am still glad with the overall look of the league. Everyone is being very friendly and every clan war has been finished without any greater complications, which is really important.
Week 6 starts tomorrow and here are the pairs:
Suprian vs YoYoTech seeN vs Figure05 Insane Sectoids vs SupR Talents Pwnanza vs GrowUP
I think there are many interesting matches coming up. Personally I am probably waiting most the clan war between Suprian and YoYoTech. Suprian with undefeated score and YYT with only one loss under their belt really makes them the top performers of the league. Both teams have got strong players such as Onva, Lumen and Divinesia from Suprian and Blader, Hamster and Deranging from YYT. From these guys both, Onva and Deranging, have managed to AK their opponents.
Another interesting set up will be seeN vs Figure05. This is a match where every map counts because they are both so close to get into the playoffs!
I am a bit disappointed at how few actually bothered to vote their map for the current week but the public has democratically and unanimously chosen the starting map: Hysteria! The week 6 map pool looks like this:
