You are in a hurry there! Haha, I will do 1 big update in about a week when a majority of the victories come in since it takes a little bit of effort to create the bracket and then upload image.

Just looking at the schedule. It will be a fairly quick turn around time between the the play-ins (round of 32) and the round of 16. All clans should be aware of this and prepare accordingly so we can keep things moving along smoothly.

Seems to be pretty stricted schedule all the way through. It might be an issue during summer holidays for those who get far. Wasn't there a break last season?

There was. But one of the major complaints was the commitment of the tournament if you make the semi finals/finals because it lasted over a year. The thought was to try and finish this one before the holiday season

There definitely are some interesting first round matches panning out right now. Should get a more clear picture of who the winner will be of each within a week.

Alright, in that case I can forgive you and yell more in the clan forums to get the cap to 10 :lol:

Sadly I have to agree with you. Looking at the games now the cap will either stay like that or most likely get smaller :(

AFOS is now up to a 19-9 lead against Mythology. Temporarily a blow out, but they've got the lead in a large stack of the remaining games. This is probably going to be real close.

This is the pitfall of the seeding system. Unless positions shift in the course of one year we'll all end up with the same fixtures next time as well.

Perhaps seedings can be done in groups of 4 (where seeds 1-4 for example are all on equal footing, same for 5-8, etc) and then the draw done in such a way that new encounters will be guaranteed.

A lot of good matchups in round 2:

BPB - THOTA (also known as Fruitcake vs Blitz :shock: )
TFFS (probably) - AOC
LOW - Legion
Mythology/AFOS - TSM
KORT - G1
FOED - IA
EMPIRE-Nemesis
BOFM - TOFU

Lowest seed to advance from round 1 will be TFFS if they can clinch the win over ID. Myth and AFOS is still undecided as well.

That FOED IA match should be great...Empire Nemesis too. The THOTA BPB thread should be a joy for everyone to read. I wonder how many times we CDs are going to have to lock it down :lol:

The most intriguing one to me is TFFS and AOC. Can TFFS mimic AOC's rise from anonymity to the top tier in a similar timeframe?

THOTA is going to bring heavy lumber to the battle after their recent defeat to KORT.

And quietly, BOFM have been smashing opponents of late so it'll be interesting to see how they fare in their rematch against TOFU.
