⭐⚽⭐ Rainbet's Bitcointalk Sports Fanatics League (BSFL)

As far as I can see things are going really well for me in this round. I'm 3-1 ahead after leaving 4 questions behind. I have been really lucky with the qualification stage matches.

It looks like Italy are also out of the Volleyball Nations League and Japan have qualified for the semi finals which is also great. Cheesy

But I need them to make it to final too. I hope my team can maintain a win streak.

I expected Besiktas not to lose but there was only two goals in this match against Midtjylland, so I lost first point in this round.
We are not level again, and I am waiting for Japan to defeat USA in volleyball as underdog team.
I expected to have more points by now but draw in Brazil Seria A would also work in my favor.

Just when I was feeling a little excited about the Besiktas game against Midtylland, even though it was a shared point between me and my opponent which, I was surely leading, this Italy vs USA result wasn’t any appealing, it did weaken my Aura and though I’m not loosing just yet, I don’t see myself keeping the edge I had no more, at least for now but, there are still a lot of chances for something to happen in the coming days.

The 2 goals was a lucky shot for them, they certainly did play their way to the goal but, things only started working for them after the 2 yellow (Red Card) situation. Midtylland had a good game until they were one man down.

Those 3-0s in the Volleyball matches put us over backers in a bad spot, and the only way out now is to get a 3-2 in both SF matches.

My tennis prediction is also looking bad with Shelton down 0-1 against Ugo, and a round win might not be an option anymore if he falls short here.

Wow now isn't that something cause we both need points to secure promo and here we are again Grin

hopefully history doesn't repeat itself cause our round is super tight now and with Italy losing really messed up my chance for that question I just hope they beat Japan in their next game as well.

These last 2 rounds have been down to the wire for the most part and its nerve wracking Grin

I of course wish for a victory of Japan and hope they will get their 14th consecutive win.......but such streaks unfortunately are bound to fail.
I think I have better chances in CS after Mouz rushed the banana (no clue what it is but sounds crucial) Cheesy

Can't wait until our match finishes - it's indeed nerve-wracking and too much is at stake!

✂️
The situation is so even that one question is decided solely by under vs. over, Besiktas. The team that gets that question right tomorrow wins the round.
✂️

since besiktas wasn't able to score another goal even with an advantage of one player on the pitch, i can actually congratulate you on winning this round already...
i now have to try to secure another victory in the next round so i can continue playing in division #3 next season...

Not looking good for me in this round, got my first point but @CLS63 has the same and he also has Japan for the volleyball while my Italy pick went wrong, so it looks like I need miracles to happen and they will need everything to fall my way for a draw.

Lets see anyway, who knows what the future holds maybe I should bet on my picks hmmm Wink

My H2H match looks ok after taking the lead 2:0 but LMS looks more tight than ever. Good chance we could have all been on same score at round end if we didn't have cryptofrka struggling a couple of points behind the pack.

I managed to equalise, but I don't have high hopes for this round. Only two questions are different between my opponent and me, and for both of them, I need a miracle. For volleyball, I need both games to be 3:2, but in one, Japan needs to lose—superbly unlikely. The second is for Astralis to win; it doesn't spell good news for me.

FaZe had to win their own map pick the hardest, a round they no business whatsoever winning, they were down 10-2 at the half, and had string together 9 consecutive rounds to force overtime on the CT side, they did that and eventually won in Overtime without dropping a single round, that was 13 straight rounds won.

That should be a huge blow to The MongolZ, we'll see if they can come up with anything in their own map pick.

Yup and I really feel that this week isn't gonna be in my favour I went against some good research and chose the wrong answers in the process.
Yeah you just might win this week and history repeats itself luckily I still will have 2 more chances I don't care about Division titles I just want promo dammit. Grin

Right now the score is still behind 1-2, and there are only 2 questions left to try turning things around and win. After losing the last round, honestly there was some confidence going into this round but things did not go as expected. Still not giving up though, since the game is not really over while there is still a chance. Hopefully luck will be on my side for the remaining questions.

I hadn't checked anything on BSFL after submitting my answers, until today when I realized I had secured 3 easy points in the current round. What happened with your team @leea-1334? I saw that you submitted answers but got negative points, was it because you were late, mate?

16 + 3, hoping to displace one of these teams: @Ozymandias_DZ, @Hhampuz, @LTU_btc & @paco92x.

Sorry yes I also did not wish for it to happen,,, but then I did something dumb and waited and waited and then it did not happen. Too late, enjoy the points my friend it will not come easy Grin

Damn so The MongolZ lost the match so now that puts me in a hole the round is shifting away from me now for sure unless Japan loses and Mouz lose their next match.
But it does't smell right at all it looks like its over at least thats the way I see it, guess we start prepping for next week and stay positive only 2 rounds left....crunch time.

I swear to God, another sentence like this and I'm vetoing this shit never to be part of BSFL again. Fucking geeks and their 'sports'.

Hahaha, please do! This "sport" has been killing me, I dread every time I have to answer the questions.

FaZe just secured the win, they advance to the semis, good news for our team but now we've got this "pick your opponent" setup to wait for! That leaves a 50% chance that the two teams I picked to meet in the Final end up knocking each other out in the semis instead. Great! My bracket knowledge is so weak that I didn't even realize how the opponent selection worked until after the deadline. Not that it would have changed my strategy all that much anyway, I pretty much stopped overthinking my picks once I realized how chaotic double elimination and dynamic picking make the bracket. Unlike a traditional fixed bracket in sports like tennis, you can never really ensure your chosen finalists won't run into each other beforehand.

Yeah, it didn't come easily & I actually expected this to happen in earlier rounds after seeing some teams fail to submit answers. I just didn't expect it to happen in our round, mate. There are still a few rounds left in the BSFL. So, make sure you don't miss out on the remaining matches, a single point at the end of the league can be crucial for any team.

LEts go Cruzeiro BATEU BATEU, i dont know how to spell more words from portuguese related to it. Im gonna celebrate with some brazilian girl this point, i need it since ......

No wrong i jsut re check and my rival have the same answer in this question so forget my first paragraph.

Im still one point above and we enter in the last days of the round, i hope i can finally win it because i really need the 3 points, the fight behind me is on fire and i dont want to be catch by that fire.

FaZe were just too much to handle after that first half of the 3rd map, The MongolZ would be feeling like they let that one slipped through their fingers after that first map meltdown, they easily should have won that one, and it would have been FaZe on the chase and The MongolZ were actually too good on Mirage that I don't think FaZe could have won it even in desperation if they had lost on Nuke.

The last match of the quarterfinals between paIN and Astralis is only a few minutes away before starting, Astralis alongside FaZe were my initial picks before I knew Team Spirt was also in the mix and opted for them.

I truly don't know anything about this stuff so it's all a big whatever to me at this point, just hope mouz some how lose....it always seems like a team will win and then they choke.
Like yesterday with the mouz v 3dmax game now you telling me mongolz could've potentially won and they choked too...new name for this Echoke. Grin
