@CLS63 I think it is over for me. Yes I got Shelton right but you are still 4-3 and I really don't see my picks going through, because for that I need Spirit to lose, and Japan to lose but they are leading 2-1 already so I might as well just concede this to you.

What a shitshow from me Tongue

Yes mate, I win this round. The results of the semi finals in BLAST tournament were really important and thankfully MOUZ made it to the final. They really scared me on the last map against Astralis though. Tongue

Japan's not being able to defeat USA made me more nervous until the end of the CS2 match. This helps me maintain my win streak. I'm wondering how the table will look after the end of this round in BSFL.

USA just ruined this round for me because they defeated Japan in volleyball Tongue

But I was understanding that we need to predict correct finalists and under or over to get points from this question, not just half answers.
Can someone please tell me did we had over or under 23,5 sets in QF and SF matches?
I see green for players who selected under and over, so I dont understand this.

It went under 23.5 but the green is just showing that the player won the point for that question vs their opponent so even if they only got one of the finalists right while putting over they could have won the point if their opponent got none of the finalists correct and put over.

entebah my motivation is high, it is still possible. Grin

If I win this, I think nobody would ever have been close to the next league with those points lost.

good luck for both of us, i need another win for now because last week i got another draw.

I am sorry for ruining your plans, but I had no choice but to do what was best for me this round. Grin

My points are safe and I wanted them badly, but I was getting nervous when I watched the Counter Strike battle. Team Spirit was leading by 10 points when I wanted to write my post to you that this round is over because we have same answers for football and I won volleyball. I thought it couldn't go wrong.

But a few minutes later it was this.

Astralis came back and I watched the stream and one Team Spirit player was punching his keyboard because they became nervous, but then they finally won the next point and it was over. Grin

I said this a while ago, it wasn't realistic for me to still think about promotion because of my sloppy activity in the early season. But now I will be in the zone.

EarnOnVictor next round is a fight to death for both of us. Grin

Heyshbosh vs welovebit
entebah vs BABY SHOES
EarnOnVictor vs Dump3er

Who wins will be very close to the finish line, but you have to fight BABY SHOES in last round.

Damn, what another disastrous week for the squad. We just haven't been able to pick up a single win since the World Cup and going with the RTG clearly backfired and negatively impacted our starting lineup. Sinking further down the standings is not the direction we wanted to be heading. With only two matchweeks left all we can do now is try to salvage something from this season and climb back up a few spots.

To make matters worse, our LMS run is hanging by a thread, our only path to survival tomorrow is if PSV wins by exactly 1 goal, any other result and we're officially knocked out.

It has been a brutal couple of weeks on all fronts but it's time to wake up and turn things around boys!

Well....Japan lost while Mouz won.
I would have preferred the other way around to make a huge hedging profit.....but now I'm in the red Cheesy

Fortunately I avoided defeat in the current round but a draw is quite useless so late in the season.
Maybe I should hedge again!

You've already won by one goal against me man, congrats!

Shelton just disappointed me a lot. He couldn't even see the semi finals! While there were no big names in this ATP 500 competition he couldn't still fight for the title. Shame on him...

There goes another loss for me while being hopeful for a better placement. There are only 2 rounds left and probably I'll just barely hold on to top 10.

Thanks. I'm glad that I managed to win this round. I'm too lazy to check out how HomieAllDay is doing in his round so I'll wait for the end of the round. I hope that I can secure the promotion before the last round.

As for the tennis, I always tend to go with a "no" when these kind of questions come by. There's more chance of a player losing before the final, no matter how good he is.

Ya they went down 1st set but pulled through, so yes it is confirmed you won the round. I forgot to check also actually but Australia will not get 180 medals, I initially thought we both had Yes but upon checking it seems you will get a bonus goal to your favor here.

Great job man, GG

@Harkorede nothing goes our way Sad

This round defeat is a big setback for team promotion, but still hopes are alive, and there is a good chance 2 rounds remaining are going to be tricky because the soccer season has not started yet, and questions are going to be not easy.
xLays congrats on the win. You have done a good job and have a good start with a good end as well because the last question was really important, but you have done good work. Heyshbosh could be the new division leader, but the fight is still on.
The last 2 matches are going to be not easy. New leader Heyshbosh and then General_Bitcoin are both going to make things challenging; the team will give their best for promotion.

Australia 180? What was I thinking? Haha... but way hey, LTU! I won this round! Astralis crumbled, and regardless of the PSV outcome, you won't get more than 2 points, to beat my 3! O-le!

Where are we currently with our sidebet ?, it really feels like life is getting to us in our respective divisions to even remember we have a sidebet, crazy right ?

Man, if you didn't mention it, it would have gone from my memory, thankfully I only did one sidebet this season (please others remind me if I'm wrong). I'll get back to you Tuesday, when I'm back, Google sheets on phone is the most horrible thing in the world (well, relatively speaking).

Australia 180? What was I thinking?

I see that Australia won 169 medals in the end, so imo it went for them even better than I thought it will.

It was probably the easiest answer for me, as I consider it being one of those sort of "trick" mafia questions, like it happened in the past with similar questions involving medal tally.

@Trofo now the final moment has come. You can send me down to division 2 if you are evil, but the question is, are you evil? Tongue

I am hoping for higher power to give strength and belief to AZ Alkmaar! This draw could still keep me afloat. Come on, red card in minute 5' for PSV, I can feel it!

Edit: LOL (rote Karte = red card - for everyone) Cheesy

EDIT: LOOOOOL - RED CARD CONFIRMED! Cheesy

I can't believe this!

Last edit: I think it was minute 6' when the VAR was activated. Just to prove that I did post this before: the game was started with about 4 minutes delay. Insane call, going to place some crazy bets today Cheesy

Wow thats amazing thanks for nothing PSV fuck sakes straight red already well gg's goodpunt

Thank you, MOUZ (even though I know I cursed you a little while ago), for taking home the championship. And thanks to myself for misreading what my opponent put as the answer. I thought we both had MOUZ as the winners, but boy, was I wrong—and for the better! Cheesy

Of course they will get red card in first 5 minutes. I think I spent all my good luck during WC and now I am paying back with interest. Will also drop out from LMS 3rd time in a row Shocked

I mean come on, when I drag myself to 3 points then nobody has 2 or less.

Another disastrous finish for me... lost my H2H match and got eliminated from LMS yet again!
On the bright side we're down to a pretty tight group now and the points gap isn't huge, so LMS is still wide open for anyone to take. I'll definitely be rebuying to pitch in again and keep the dream alive. What a crazy round overall, everyone's standings were yoyoing all over the place!

P.S. Leea-1334 hopefully you feel a bit better about missing the deadline. Looking at how things played out you would have only scored 3 points and been eliminated anyway. I know you can't rebuy but at least you don't have to live with the regret of missing out after dropping a 5 or 6!

Not waiting until results will be announced - I congratulate @buwaytress with a deserved win this round. I couldn't do anything with 1 correct answer. I needed win a lot to almost secure my spot in Division 2. Now my situation in remaining rounds remain complicated, especially when I lost to one of my direct competitors.
