[CC8] R3: TOFU (26) vs FOED (23) - TOFU Wins - Final 5/30/18

[Fyrdraca]

Gonna call it now. I predict a clan winning by one game

Would not surprise me in the least. Looks so close for the batch 1 games that are nearing completion, and my batch 2 games seem fairly evenly split at this point

So Fyrkraka...any more predictions after recent developments?

Haven't looked last few days. Been busy in RL (lame!)

But I know we have about 6 games in hand and I'm sure you guys do as well.

[Chariot of Fire]

Hopefully the exigencies of RL are nothing too trivial

[MTIceman41]

My crystal ball on these things is pretty damn accurate...I think whatever happens in the forbidden city stays in the forbidden city...but whoever wins that one moves on.

[Arama86n]

Worlds best Carrot?
What the...

I don't think Forbidden City is the key game. Its an important game, but I don't see it as the key.

[Extreme Ways]

There are a number of games that are just born to be key to our victory. These are:
Third Crusade Quads
Third Crusade Trips
FNA Quads
Bamboo Jack Quads.

Can't comment on third crusade, but I think we have a fun battle going on in FNA quads. Bamboo quads will highly depend on what uckuki does this turn. Bring the 6s uck!

[Chariot of Fire]

I think he'll need 7s not 6s. A condemned man

I don't think you got my joke, which is understandable because it wasn't so obvious, but our man [player]keyborn[/player] shortened as key is in all of these games

[rockfist]

I didn't even catch that

[Extreme Ways]

I didn't even catch that

I imagine it would have helped if it would be a funny joke.

that's clever, and I didn't pick up on the name play

but you get some props for the effort

[Fyrdraca]

Okay fun times looking at all those games... here's what I've got so far

15 wins/decided FOED
14 wins/decided TOFU

4 fairly good leans for FOED
8 fairly good leans for TOFU

7 games that still look mostly even from my point of view (several fog and can't really see)

guess I'm missing 1 game somewhere in there as well, since the rest of what I added only counts to 48, but nonetheless, seems like we will have a fairly tight finish

[Chariot of Fire]

I admire your misguided optimism

[Extreme Ways]

I do not think it is misguided optimism? He's putting us at 22-19 with leans. I do think we have a lot of strong leans, that are not decided yet.

[Chariot of Fire]

I'm just winding him up mate coz I think he thinks they still have a chance

[Fyrdraca]

I just try to keep in realistic for my own predictions haha. There are enough escalating games left that truly anything can happen, so we will just have to wait and see.

Haha, you should ask CoF about our EVOK games in in Clan league. He will share your feelings I'm sure

[Extreme Ways]

Both Conch and JPlo predict FOED winning here, but then losing vs S&M in the semis. Where does that lack of faith come from, you guys just won CL!

[rockfist]

Based on what I see, I’d say they are showing a remarkable amount of faith

[Fyrdraca]

Trying to be conservative but fair here...

Think it's about 20-23 in TOFU favor with 6 that still have a shot to go either way (like the Rail Euro game, most of those are foggy escalators). Well done in that one TOFU.

[Chariot of Fire]

Thanks mate. Always a tricky map that one (Rail Europe) when you get a strong lead in it such as your guys had. Leaves the oppo only one way out which surprisingly often succeeds (and Rock did it on a bloody mobile phone - 7 eliminations over 82 territories!)

I reckon 27-22 TOFU barring any miracles in the remaining games. Been a great contest so far.

[rockfist]

Thanks. Yeah, I play a lot on a mobile, but as I've said internally I've been doing it since day one in TOFU so although it makes us all nervous there is some history of doing it (and yes I am the king of do as I say, don't do as I do), but that was my first rail sweep on a mobile...probably my last too as it was a bit nerve racking and lucky.

My synopsis is we are ahead in leaning games, but its not over.

I'm with you. Probably 95%+ of my turns on my phone. Don't have time to sit in front of a PC at home much anymore haha. Very nerve wracking doing the escalators. I've made a misstep more than once haha

Yeah you guys seem to have a solid chance at 26-27 wins, we will need some to turn like Rail Euro did
