Getting into an exciting finish!

Take a shot

How am I supposed to work (let alone play CC) doing all of these shots?!?!

It's been a great match. I appreciate the good sportsmanship and hard battles, S&M!

It sure has been a great match. A real pleasure to play against you. As for the shots, I think you need more not less

Excellent overturn by Ascension in several escalating games where M&S had early leads.

What had looked as safe winning margin for M&S has now become a war which can easily be decided by 1 or 2 key games.

Great finals!

Upper pecs too big...that's like a girl too pretty, a car too fast, too much money...is it not?

I have a strong feeling this will end up 31-30 to the winner. Slight chance we see 32-29 but I would bet it’s a 1 game margin

Took a quick glance seems it's 28-29. 4 undecided games. Maybe some other could turn, but seems unlikely from the outside. Close one

31-30 my thought…ascension flipped nicely the RSA games
Josko and team pulled nicely in the unlimited batch and I think quad cities and Chinese checkers was huge!

Rail asia, New Zealand , 1 usa 2.1 deciders???

Also this is just love for both clans…it’s exciting for a close battle like the super bowl…kinda root for both teams

Those are the battlegrounds on my list. You could make a case for World 2.1 or NYC flipping, too (though I hope not World 2.1).

S&M has fought us hard every game in this war. Quite an impressive squad. It'll be fun to fight out these last few battles.

26:26

Neck and neck. This is nail biting. lol.

I see this morning that S&M has made it official with their 31st win. It will likely finish 31-30 in their favor.

Congrats, S&M, on winning the Cup. This was a fun battle. Hopefully, we can get one more win next year.

congrats!

Well done!

We continie the unbeaten streak in finals, 6 finals and 6 titles while our other 6 eliminations were all in semifinals (we like to take summer vacation breaks).

In this war at some point you had already ensured about 29 wins while we had 25 or so from our side, at that point it was an exciting challenge having to win almost every single game which was leaning to our side but was not yet definitely decided.

You are relatively newer clan (since 2018?) and very talented so I am sure there will be more chances for winning Cups for you if you hold the same squad and possibly extend it.

This year you were handicapped as Ark_Angel_NZ was not eligible to play due to being eliminated from the same Cup with his previos clan, thus with him in the squad you will be even stronger in future.

Looking forward to face you again in future Cups and Leagues!

Thanks for the war, it was a real struggle.

Congratulations to S&M! Definitely a hard fought battle!

War complete, privs removed, achievements issued, topic moved

S&M declares ballenus as MVP, with his biggest contribution being 7/9 score in finals, which we won by a margin of one game 31-30.

More important to tell is that we won this Cup as a homogeneous team, because we have 6 players who played 19 or more games with overall winning percentage between 65 and 70%, as indicated below. There are more of us with equal even higher winning % but with lower game load througout the tournament.

Legend: overall winning % (vs TOFU, vs FALL, vs A^)

ballenus 70%: 19/27 (5/10, 7/8, 7/9)
All Black Rugby 70%: 21/30 (9/11, 7/9, 5/10)
josko.ri 69%: 42/61 (16/18, 14/21, 12/22)
Lingfish 68%: 13/19 (4/6, 3/5, 6/8)
maroshka851 66%: 19/29 (7/10, 9/11, 3/8)
jimboy 65%: 13/20 (0/0, 8/10, 5/10)

Congratulations, ballenus
