TWDT-D



WIN OR DIE (5-2) vs. ill (0-7)
50-36

The Winordites finished the season strong in a league that accounted for 50% of their win total, smashing through the hapless Weezers 50-36, as Weak <ZH> (14-5) threw down the hammer, leading Kira_Yamato~ (10-9), torcher (9-5), Racka (8-8) and Turban (8-9) to the W.

ill saw strong showings from Tripin (13-10) and stung (10-10), but couldn't salvage sub-par scores from ROWS (7-10), Mikkiz (2-7), or cyrus (2-10).

HOT: Weak <Zorro's Hand> (14-5)
NOT: cyrus (2-10)







Power (4-3) vs. Blooms (2-5)
50-39

In what I had dubbed the Match of the Week, as it had the most impact on the playoff picture, determining who would earn a bye to the Semi-Finals, turned out to be a close affair, with the Powergonians finding an unlikely hero and clinching the #2 seed.

The match was all-the-more exciting with some pre-game trash talk, as LF threw down the gauntlet:

Relatively even in wb...lol If you really think okyo, rasaq and 3 randoms can compete with Burnt, a2m, Spezza, Paky etc you will be in for a very rude awakening. Hell I'm still rated a 6* despite my 14-6 ratio over the past 5 seasons and still better than your entire roster in wb minus maybe rasaq and okyo if he's having a rare very very good day. I'll only play if zid plays though so I can finally fulfill my yearlong grudge and prove my point. Power won't reach 30 kills in wb, we have a gimme in basing and a guaranteed first round bye. Thanks for playing.

Power mainstay okyo (15-10) once again proved a major factor earning a game-high 15 kills, but it was surprise show 7-Star Sawyer (14-4) who put in a sizzlin' performance, and helped clinch the win, alongside another strong game from Rasaq (11-9), a solid 6-Star showing from Rough (9-10), and a serviceable survival-mode Wazzaaa.NL with a 1-6.

The Bloomers came in hot off a big win in TWDT-D, and kept it close the entire game, with good play from Burnt (10-10), a2m (9-10), LF (9-10), but a disappointing outing from 8-Star Paky Dude (2-6), who was subbed in for an equally unfit maketso (1-4).

HOT: Sawyer, with a scything 14-4!
NOT: Paky Dude (2-6). Paky your fucking bags and get out of wb country man, you're Islama-bad.

Here's the real video of LF dropping the mic:

Silence (6-1) vs. Meteorite (2-5)
50-28

Best continued his rampant dominance of TWDT with a transcendent 18-9, going Super Saiyan on the eliminated Meteorites. Lasenza (12-6), bad game (8-3), Casket (8-4) and Afri (4-6) all took their turns hitting the pinata, as they decimated the Zizzoans by a whopping 22 kills.

For the not-so-winning side, Cloth (9-10) was the only warbird to come close to parity, whilst aprix (7-10), Mythril (4-10), and euforia (2-10) all fell short.

HOT: Best (18-9)
NOT: Mythril (4-10)







Thunder (7-0) vs. Patouf (2-5)
50-35

Ease completed his third TWDT-D regular season in a row 7-0, going 21-0 in warbird over 2013, 2014, and 2015, and reaching the Finals every time.

The day, however, belonged to JAMAL (13-5), who continued his tear through all three leagues unabated, leading Shadowmere (13-9), Ricko (10-6), Ease (9-5), and Missa (5-8) to a comfortable victory to ace the season.

For Patouf, Tiny (11-10) tried his best, but couldn't salvage scores of 7-10, 6-10, 4-10, 7-10 from Iron Survivor, Murder, ph, and Siaxis, respectively.

HOT: JAMAL (13-5)
NOT: ph (4-10), who recapped his performance more succintly than I ever could:

7h> i just went 4-10 against shadowmere and missa
7h> i need to rethink my life




Turban's Regular Season Statistics:




Final Thoughts on TWDT-D 2015:

As expected, Thunder (7-0) finished the season perfectly, and are heavy favorites to claim the TWDT-D title, with Ease, JAMAL, Shadowmere, and Ricko lurking in the shadows. 2014 Champion Lasenza will have something to say about it, however, as Silence (6-1) finished second-best, with Best and Raazi forming a formidible trio. The third major contender in warbird is WIN OR DIE (5-2), who have the likes of Racka, Weak, vys, and Turban at their disposal. Everyone else is just fish food for these leviathans, although Power (4-3) could maybe pull off an upset.

Individually, Best won the scoring race and had the best rating, with a monster season in warbird. Shadowmere headed the 7-0 juggernaut that is Thunder, while Lasenza had the best +/- of any player. JAMAL once again impressed, being the only player to win seven games, while Weak and vys proved a lethal combo on WIN OR DIE, both averaging over 12 kills a game.

TWDT-J



Thunder (6-1) vs. ill (1-6)
50-33

Undercut (12-8) led all javelins in this match, thus invalidating any attempt to describe anyone in this match as talented.

Ardour (11-6) poured in 11, ahead of Shadowmere (10-8), JAMAL (9-6), and the_paul (4-5).

For ill, wbm (9-10) and Lorko (8-10) put in solid performances, but negative scores on the part of Tripin (7-10), Producer (5-10), and Mikkiz (3-10) sealed the deal.

HOT: Ardour (11-5), with the highest plus/minus differential of anyone not named Undercut.
NOT: Mikkiz, with an abhorrent 3-10.






Power (6-1) vs. Meteorite (1-6)
50-41

Meteorite was surprisingly resilient despite having nothing to play for, as Power edged them out by 9 to finish the season 6-1.

Children (18-10) MVP'd for the second week in a row, putting up monster numbers to carry Power to the much-needed W to clinch the second seed over Blooms. In tow were Zidane (10-9), Rough (9-7), Healt (5-9), and Phrozen <ZH> (4-6), making his TWDT debut with a solid 5-Star outing.

For the Meteorites, aprix (11-10) and euforia (11-10) were consummate professionals, once again impressing despite being on a bad team, ahead of absentee craptain Zizzo (9-10), and underperformers Cloth (2-10) and madmaxx53 (3-10).

HOT: Children, with a Herculean 18-10!
NOT: Cloth (3-10), who manages to earn a NOT for the second week in a row, and doing a great job of filling out his Sub Club card, because every round he plays he should be subbed out.





Silence (3-4) vs. WIN OR DIE (3-4)
50-40

This was a tight match between two quality jav squads, as Silence managed a 10 point win as they were one of two squads this week to go 3-0 (along with Power, who also went 3-0).

Best once again led all ships with a 13-9, alongside Kim (13-6), Commodo (11-9), Lasenza (7-8), and Boblemoche (5-8).

The Winordites had great games from Racka (13-10) and torcher (11-10), with a decent game from Turban (8-10), who came back down to earth after his 19-5 last weekend, with atrocious outings from Kira_Yamato (4-10) and markmrw (1-10).

HOT: Kim (13-6)
NOT: Kira_Yamato~ (4-10), for torpedoing a winnable game.

6:Best> Hot or not out yet oggy?
6:turban> ya the manager % costs make it not worth it
6:Ogron> Ya indexes outperform those hedge funds, and make sure you're matching your company's 401k contributions.
6:Kira_Yamato~> Og, what you recommend investing in?
6:Ogron> If you're going to keep sucking this much in TWDT-J, invest in a dental dam
6:Best> LOOL
6:Hulk> ded




Blooms (5-2) vs. Patouf (3-4)
50-42

Patouf completed a brutal week in TWDT, going a miserable 0-3 but having already clinched a playoff spot, didn't matter too much. Blooms, meanwhile, rattled off a 2-1 this week to clinch the #3 seed.

Spawnisen (15-8) and Mean Gene (14-8) led the Bloomers to a strong win over a talented jav squadron, finishing off a nice season in TWDT-J at 5-2. Rounding out their lineup, a2m (8-10), Morg (3-0), maketso (5-7), and Gurliver (1-9) all took up arms.

The Tabarcats saw good play from Stayon (12-10), Tiny (10-10), and Iron Survivor (9-10), but poor scores from Bueno (6-10) and pee pee sock (4-10) proved a fatal dagger.

HOT: Spawnisen (15-8)
NOT: pee pee sock (4-10). It's hard to expect much from a player who celebrates his birthday by eating a urinal cake.



Turban's Regular Season Statistics:




Final Thoughts on TWDT-J 2015:

Power (6-1) were the clear frontrunners of TWDT-J this season, beating every top tier team, and sporting 4 of their 5 starters (Children, Rough, Zidane, and Fram) in the Top 10 javs. Thunder (6-1) fell to Power, but remained undefeated afterwards, and are also favorites to win, with Ease, Shadowmere, and JAMAL forming a deadly trio. Blooms (5-2), featuring Spawnisen, Mean Gene, and a2m, Silence (3-4), with Best, Commodo, and Roiwerk, Patouf (3-4), with Stayon, waven, and Tiny, and WIN OR DIE (3-4) starring Turban, torcher, and Dreamwin, all have chances to win in a stacked jav league that is an embarrassment of riches compared to WB.

Leading the individual accolades is Turban, who had a monster season in javelin and the best +/-. Edging him out by a single kill for the scoring title is Best, whilst Children finished second in Rating after leading Power to the best record in the league. Shadowmere headed the javing juggernaut that is Thunder and comes in third, with Rough rounding out the Top 5 with a strong season as well.

(The Rating ordering is a little wonky for some reason, but it's close enough, too lazy to fix atm.)

TWDT-B



ill (2-5) vs. Meteorite (1-6)
15:00-2:26

The two worst teams in the league went head-to-head Sunday, as TJ Hazuki's Weezers sent Zizzo's Meteorites packing.

Producer (18-3) terred ahead of Kosmonaut (2.9 RPD) and Thugs, who had an impressive 3.2 RPD and 2 teks, whilst TJ Hazuki (74-35, 3 Teks) led all spiders, ahead of cyrus (66-29), Eating (55-16, 8 Teks!!!), stung (63-18), and ROWS.

For the Meteormen, Wax (10-18) "terred" ahead of aprix, Cloth, euforia, and Mythril (2.7 RPD), with a revolving-door of Zizzo, Yojimbo, madmaxx53, little buddhist, and Jerome in spider.

HOT: TJ Hazuki (74-35, 3 Teks)
HOT: Eating, with a 55-16, and 8 Teks in 17 minutes, which might be a world record.
NOT: euforia, with a 1.7 RPD in shark. The only thing you should be repelling, are women.




Blooms (7-0) vs. WIN OR DIE (2-5)
15:00-5:54

The Bloomers completed their asterisked 7-0 sweep of the league Sunday, crushing their Quarter-Final opponent under the weight of their stacked basing line.

menelvagor (24-6) terred ahead of a2m (3.1 RPD) and LF (2.9 RPD), with Mean Gene (77-36), Gurliver (69-35), bellflowers (62-24), Reckful (62-42), Creature, and Medal Dodger in spider.

For the Winordites, they played a man-down, with skatarius (20-6) terring in front of Markmrw (2.8 RPD) and DOWNFALL (2.9 RPD), and a powerful performance from JammyJames (84-52) in spider, leading Rageritual (70-63), turban (65-50), and Cyclone (54-31).

HOT: a2m and LF, with 3.1 and 2.9 RPD respectively.
HOT: JammyJames (84-52), outkilling every spider on Blooms down 7v8. Wowza!
NOT: Racka, for no-showing to his basing game and leaving his team a man down.

Where is Racka, anyway?







Silence (3-4) vs. Patouf (5-2)
15:00-8:44

Commodo's team has looked like a different beast since acquiring Diakka (112-51), showing they are the real deal in TWDT-B (although Stayon messaged me they played all lancs in this game? I didn't see it.)

The Silencers had Boblemoche (21-8, 2 Teks) in terr, with Commodo (2.8 RPD, 3 Teks) and Oder (2.8 RPD) in shark, with the aforementioned Diakka leading Bacon (80-48), Ayn (90-47), mcvicar (67-54), and Lasenza (47-30) in spider.

For the Tabarcats, Tiny (21-9) quarterbacked in front of porkjet (2.8 RPD) and nanto (2.7 RPD), with Trasher (83-43), Stayon (75-57), Siaxis (75-48), Bueno (63-49), and Iron Survivor (52-66) in fighter ships.

HOT: diakka, with a devastating 112-51.
NOT: Stayon, for trolling what should have been a good base game.

Power (5-2) vs. Thudner (3-4)
15:00-11:21

2:Ease> gonna fk up claus 72-0 in terr

Ease (28-8, 0 Teks) looked well on his way to a salacious victory as Thunder took an early lead (and good advantage up a spider with Children in jav), but Power rallied late and managed an exhilerating come-from-behind victory (Name of Ease's sextape!).

Ease terred ahead of TABARNAK!!! (3.0 RPD, 3 Teks!) and Beasty (2.7 RPD), with JAMAL (105-58), Undercut (100-54), SNSD Sooyoung (65-70), Ricko (64-58), and 5-Star superstar Lena (68-52) in spider.

Ogron (36-6, 2 Teks) took up terring duties for the Powergonians, ahead of Zidane (2.8 RPD) and Hulk (2.8 RPD), but the real star was Solace (101-58, 2 Teks) who led a vicious push a spider down and helped carry Power's top all game, ahead of Henry Saari (103-41), 6-Star hero Rasaq (81-52), and Wazzaaa.NL (66-49).

Children (80-58, 3 Teks) was useless for the first 18 minutes in jav, then suddenly turned into an immortal god the final 8, landing bomb after bomb and clutching 3 and 4-fers left and right, helping seal the victory.

HOT: Solace, with a pushy, demolishing 101-58 with 2 Teks!
NOT: Beasty, for not doing a better job protecting his terr from javbombs in the second half of the game. You were supposed to be Clint Eastwood in In the Line Of Fire -- instead you were Clint Eastwood in real life, because talking to an invisible chair is a lot like repping air.

Final Thoughts on TWDT-B 2015:

Blooms (7-0) finished the season undefeated, although they lost 15-13 to Stayon but for a flag jupe, as the two vied for basing supremacy all season. Patouf (5-2) and Power (5-2) had strong seasons, and despite two losses apiece both managed 98 minutes of flagtime gained out of a possible 105, narrowly losing both.

Silence (3-4) has become a legitimate threat in TWDT-B, and could definitely make a run for the title, while overall #1 Thunder (3-4) has looked shaky in base, but definitely has the pieces to make a splash, and is only two wins away from glory.

In spider, JAMAL finished first in Rating, posting 127 KP30M over six games, with Stayon in second with 119 KP30M and 6 Teks. Bueno had 558 kills over 7 games, with 104 KP30M, Henry Saari posted 114 KP30M, and Trasher led the league with a massive 15 Teks in only 5 games, posting 106 KP30M.

In terr, Trasher proved himself top dog with a massive 51-4 average and 5 Teks, taking down Blooms and Power, while Ogron led the league in wins (5) and teks (12), averaging 37-6 across all seven games. Oder was an offensive monster for Silence, with 44-7 average and 7 Teks, Heaven made the most of a soft strength of schedule and posted a ridiculous 27-1 average across three games, and Maketso rounds out the top five with a similar 21-1 average and 8 Teks across four games.

ph led all sharks with a blistering 36 KP30M, 9 Teks, a 3.0 RPD and 4 Wins playing for both Power and Patouf, while a2m went 6-0 for Blooms with a league-leading 3.02 RPD and 8 Teks. porkjet led the league with 10 Teks, a 2.8 RPD and 5 Wins, with TABARNAK!!! going 3-2 on Thunder 7 Teks, 27 KP30M and 2.9 RPD. Zidane comes in fifth, with 4 Wins, 4 Teks, and 2.9 RPD.

HOT OF THE WEEK


WB of the Week: Sawyer (14-4), making his TWDT debut in style by clinching the #2 seed for Power in a must-win game. Honorable Mention: okyo (15-10) and Weak (14-5).
Jav of the Week: Children (18-10), winning the award for the second week in a row, Child dropped a rapturous result on Zizzo's team, in a tight 50-41 game.
Basers of the Week: Solace (101-58), decimating Thunder with a hard-nosed, pushy game that included 2 Teks in a tight 15-11 win.

Player of the Week: Best
Best wins the award for the 3rd time in 4 weeks, leading Silence to a perfect 3-0 and completely turning their season around in the second half, as he launched a league-high 18-9 in TWDT-D, then a game-high 13-9 in TWDT-J, and clinching the scoring titles in both leagues. Kudos!

9-5W, 10-10L, 19-8W, 7-0W, 12-5W, 13-5W, 12-6W = 6-1 / 82-39, 11.74, 5.57, 2.1, 86%. If my stats are wrong, there's a good chance that other scores may be as well. I took part in every twdt-d match silence played in. 12-5 was missing from our game vs patouf.

[Turban]

missed a match probably let me check, uno momento.

EDIT: found it, double checked everyone. looks like i somehow skipped past your name when adding stats, but everyone else had correct stats. mb.

[maketso]

Dreamwin is on Blooms not Win or die

[Stayon]

Just adding up to your future twdtb report, we did 5 lancs in the loss against mhz, game was tight till 7-7, then bam, lagouts and eventually got smacked the other half. Lancs for twl, get on with the trend.

Shark:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]1323[/ATTACH]



ph led all sharks with a blistering 36 KP30M, 9 Teks, a 3.0 RPD and 4 Wins playing for both Power and Patouf, while a2m went 6-0 for Blooms with a league-leading 3.02 RPD and 8 Teks. porkjet led the league with 10 Teks, a 2.8 RPD and 5 Wins, with TABARNAK!!! going 3-2 on Thunder 7 Teks, 27 KP30M and 2.9 RPD. Zidane comes in fifth, with 4 Wins, 4 Teks, and 2.9 RPD.

I'm not sure why my stats said I had only 2.33 average RPD, my 4 games I went 2.9, 3.0, 3.5 and 2.9 which is a (league leading) 3.075 average. I believe I am also missing a tek but idc. Even though my tek total was bad everything else that matters for a shark either was close to or above everyone else listed minus ph and his 150 kills per game. I'd be curious to see how my "rating" changes with accurate stats but in the end it doesnt really matter. I know I can still hang and I don't even play this game anymore

[LF]

and in the "overall" thing, I had an uncharacteristically low "66" in wb, not a 59, and if my basing stats got fixed from 2.33 to 3.07 I imagine that would help that rating go up too from a pitiful 68 to something a little more reasonable

ANd out of curiosity why do I (and a couple others) have a 10 in a league I never played (jav) while others have a 25 in a league they never played
