Javelin settings have been changed in #caer, 4v4prac4 5 6, 4v4squad1 2 and 3 to comply with what the 4v4 council initially voted on.

 

From:

<div>Ship specifics - Javelin:</div>
<div>Thrust: 17 without Afterburner, 19 with Afterburner.</div>
<div>Rotation: 260</div>
<div>Speed: 3500 without Afterburner, 3750 with Afterburner.</div>
<div>Guns: 3</div>
<div>Bombs: 2</div>
<div> </div>
<div>To:</div>
<div>Ship specifics - Javelin:</div>
<div>Thrust: 18</div>
<div>Rotation: 260</div>
<div>Speed: 3550</div>
<div>Guns: 3</div>
<div>Bombs: 2</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>That's a compromise between what it was changed to previously, the afterburnable "skill" javelin and the insane 3750 speed javelin.</div>
<div>See if you can throw that in a prac or two, if it seems killable, immortal or whatever.</div>

FTNguyen defeat Nuke 2-1 in the most chaotic, strange final series I can think of. I'm sure there have been weird series before, but man oh man. Congratulations anyways. (why thank you)

 

Rosters have been unlocked for editing for Season 34 needs.

Captains can post here if they are returning OR joining.

--

At the moment the squad roster max is 14, league format undecided, some rules undecided, etc. The 4v4 Council should get working on these.

 

Returning:

StarFire Elite -- Solar Hydro

Assassins -- Mop, develop

Llamas -- Street Fighter

Nguyens -- hibachi

Alpha Reunion - NFS ?

Sterling

 

Joining / name changing, hoho:

The Dark - Da_Monkk ??

a squad by Lord Xzibit?

a squad by 3d or curtis lee or whoever it was

Intrinsic

 

Not returning:

Requiem? boo, why not

Rebels? unless someone takes over for Ra

ReDS ?

 

A1 graph seems to have some errors...

SterFire elite -> StarFire elite for aml s26. Kingnewbie's caps for S31.

Starfire -> StarFire iml s11

Please unlock the rosters as soon as a Pro Champion has been crowned so player movement is allowed while people are still interested.

Nuke beat Req 7-6 just before the OT. The game was... strange to say the least, Nuke was up a lot, then it was even for a while.

 

Alpha Reunion beat SFE 2-0 for AML bronze, aw yiss.

 

The bot defeated ReDS in the first game of AML finals, granting Llamas the 1-0 lead.

So... yeah, that sucks. Plus I thought the subs were in the other slots, so getting Kop back in took a bit longer than it should.

 

 

Well, SF and Hendrix have settled on playing a minimum of 2 more games with 1-0 up in kills for the third in a race to six, should they tie in the first two.

 

I'll schedule more games as we get there, to prevent any bot auto-calls again.

 

4v4a - PRO

3pm Nuke vs. FTNguyen -- 119020

4pm Nuke vs. FTNguyen 

 

4v4b - AML

3pm ReDS vs. Llamas -- 119019

4pm ReDS vs. Llamas

(5pm race to 6 handicap, if necessary)

ReDS and Llamas both 2-0'd their opponents to move on to the AML finals.

FTNguyen defeat Assassins 2-0 and will wait for the winner of Nuke vs. Requiem Aug 4th, 3pm as their series is at 1-1.

 

ReDS and Llamas might or might not play games on the same day. SFE and AR might or might not have a go at bronze.

 

The recap from the round was provided to someone late to the party on a very secret Skype chat group by a member of one of the pro teams.

Congratulations to Weasal, the clear best player as voted by a set of excel formulas! Well done also to Pryde who turned up halfway into the season and always came before a fall. Pryde tipped out spiritual leader Mighty Sven by a solitary point.

 

Thanks to all AR players for having a dip this season. Apologies to all opponents where the competition we offered was less than tangible. This was a ragtag of some folks who had no 4v4 experience, some who had mucked around with EyeQ back in the day, some folks who had played a little, and ring-ins from wherever we could get them to fill out the roster. It's been a long road (the season started in 2008 I think) but sticking it out was important. Having someone touch it is a bonus. I doubt AR will be back (apparently it's all been passed on to me to decide wtf) but hopefully any player that wants to continue on testing their 4v4 skills may be able to find a home.

 

Good luck to the teams that remain in their relevant finals series.

 

- Nude

 

* While entitled "Best And Fairest", the latter term was not considered when adjudicating. The season wasn't fair on the players, why should the voting be?

<div>Quarter results PRO:</div>
<div>7/21 3:51 pm Assassins def Sterling 12-2 log</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Quarter results AML:</div>
<div>7/21 3:04 pm Alpha Reunion def Unhallowed 12-6 log</div>
<div>7/21 2:15 pm Nuke def Rebels 12-0 log</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Assassins had a better line-up than Sterling. Then they won. It was pretty uneventful.</div>
<div>Unhallowed vs. Alpha Reunion started about 20 or 25 minutes late, as Alpha chose to wait for Unhallowed to maybe have a fourth player. Death Artist eventually showed up, which was the signal for Unhallowed to start throwing the game. Seriously, they were up until that point while playing 3v4.</div>
<div>And Rebels forfeit the game with two players in the arena.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>All semi-finals are best of 3. Everyone plays on both time slots. If the third game is needed, it'll either be after the first two games or next weekend (up to the squads). I'll schedule (for the bots) the second set of games after the first games. Just to minimize automatic calls. There's still a chance of a bot calling a game automatically, causing annoying things. But that requires a game to go into OT. The downside is that I actually have to schedule the second game before it can be played, which means I have to not be in a game to do it. So if you finish 30 minutes before ftnguyen (and I'm playing) you have to wait </div>

Who you got?

Nuke vs Rebels

 

For much of the season, Nuke had trouble living up to potential. But after closing out the season with big wins against FTNguyens and Assassins, and with better prac habits than most, they might be the hottest team entering playoffs. Rebels started strong but have looked less enthusiastic lately; they would appear to need a perfect game here.

<div> </div>
<div>Watch: Saiyan, Nacre, Eric Clapton</div>
<div> </div>
 

 

Sterling vs Assassins

 

Prediction: Assassins

 

Where is Sterling? Usually, this would be a classic matchup. But Sterling seemingly unraveled after their loss to FTNguyens, in which Seismic died out quickly, and has yet to return (.seen seismic, in chaos pub). On the flip side, Assassins are praccing and winning - they have all the momentum heading into this one. If Sterling captains can rally the troops one more time, we might get fireworks. GOTW.

 

Watch: Rage, 9-Volt, Kdak, Ossi, Develop

 

 

 

Unhallowed vs Alpha Reunion

 

While other teams have closed up shop, credit should be given to Alpha for  sticking it out to the end. 

 

Watch: cfl, Weasal

One week to go before playoffs. Get rowdy. Current highlight: Street Fighter predicting a Sterling no-show.
