TWDT-D



Fire vs. Kamikaze
50-28

Mythril (16-7) hopped in his time machine and put in a quintessential performance, as the warbirding legend took down a disparate and hopeless Kamikaze squad playing down a man, as despite the advantage no one else on Fire managed more than 6 kills, as Cres (6-6), Ravage (4-6), Trasher (4-3), Raizin (4-5), and Mikkiz played second fiddle.

Kolvalchuk (12-10) and Iron Survivor (11-10) put up a spirited defense, but were let down by perennial Paladen Padawan Jebass (4-10) and Yojimbo.

HOT: Mythril
NOT: Jebass (4-10). Jebass is from Florida, so I can understand how he thinks finishing second is a victory, given the press coverage of Florida senator Marco Rubio's Presidential run, where third place is "winning", and second place = "he's got all the momentum!"



---

Paddington vs. Stark
50-41

Weak (13-9), Best (13-10), and Attacks (12-5) did all the damage this Sunday, as Paddington continued it's late-season of TWDT-D since breaking the 49-49 curse that cost them a pair of games earlier in the season, while last week's Player of the Week Shadowere (7-7) and talent-adjacent warbird Tiny (5-10) followed in their wake.

Eren (11-10) led Stark with a strong showing for a low-star, with solid play from Beasty (9-10) and Racketeer (8-10), while Ardour and Mean Gene were in the negative.

HOT: Attacks. Great low-star performance!
NOT: Mean Gene (3-7). Poor play, but at least had the sensibility to sub himself out.



---

Blooms vs. Baratheon
50-48

This proved a pivotal match for Blooms and Fire and who would advance to the playoffs, as both these squads grinded it out to the very end, trading blows the entire game, ending in a 1v1 between Geio and Wiibimbo.

Okyo (14-10) has proven a huge boon since joining out of Free Agency, leading good performances from Racka (10-10), maketso (10-10), and sn0_0p.

Meanwhile, for Baratheon, Turban (13-10) led Zidane (9-10), Afri (9-10), and Buck in a spirited battle.

In the end, Geio (11-10) was magnificent, taking down multiple players by himself, but at 49-48, right as he knocked out a Blooms player, Wiibimbo (10-8) dove him, winning the 50-50, and clinching the match.

HOT: Okyo
HOT: Wiibimbo

---

Terrorist vs. Silence
50-35

Terrorist stormed back after several down weeks in warbird, as low-stars Kado (13-5) and Absent (10-8) led the team, alongside Stayon (11-8), Dreamwin, and Rough.

Silence was completely outmatched without Ease, as Zizzo (9-10) and Roiwerk (9-10) were the best they could offer, while Tripin (7-10) has never been a carry in wb. 3am warbird god-king 2pacZ (8-10) has cooled off since his 19-6, and Rasaq (2-10), a high-level warbird, has been sub-par most of this season.

HOT: Kado
NOT: Rasaq (2-10). Your warbirding is like a japanese whorehouse, full of sucking and poor eyesight.

[ogron]

TWDT-J



Baratheon vs. Fire
50-39

Zidane (14-9), Turban (11-9), and Wax (10-8) all took Fire to task, leading Geio (6-4) and Stannis (7-9) to the promised land, securing their 10th win of the season.

For Fire, Trasher (9-10) and Mythril (9-10) were valiant in defeat, ahead of Mikkiz (8-10), Cres, and Ravage. This turned out to be a must-win game for Fire, all the more disappointing given their three best javs (Shaun, Cape, and Kim) didn't show.

HOT: Zidane
NOT: Ravage (4-10). The only thing you'll be ravaging after that loss is your fleshlight, which you bought secondhand off eBay. I'm sure they washed it before shipping it out, right?

---

Terrorist vs. Kamikaze
50-47

This proved to be an oddly close game, and had they lost, would have cost Terrorist the #1 seed (they also narrowly avoided losing in base by 30 seconds), despite playing the worst squad in TWDT history.

hellkite (16-9) was ferocious in this game, stomping Kamikaze ahead of dreamwin (11-10), senorkevin, Stayon, voth, and Rough.

Iron Survivor and Kovalchuk, much as they did in TWDT-D, were excellent, notching 10-10s in jav to keep this close, while Jebass (9-10), NINE (8-10), and Yojimbo (7-10) were all quite solid. Nice effort!

HOT: hellkite!
NOT: voth (4-7). You should have stayed retired. You were dogshit then, and you're dogshit now.

---

Stark vs. Paddington
50-46

Stark stunned a stacked squad securing a playoff spot squashing Paddington profusely, as i.d. (11-10), and Mean Gene (8-7) led Ardour, Beanie, and Joemama to the W.

Shadowmere (17-10) continued his transcendent play in both javelin and warbird with another out-of-this-world performance, but couldn't carries the likes of 24, idkidc, Jessup, and Rampage, despite a solid 10-10 from Best.

HOT: Shadowmere (17-10)
HOT: i.d.
NOT: Jessup (2-7). Maybe you should consider having an operation to become a javelin, because you sure as shit can't TWDT-J.

---

Silence vs. Blooms
50-46

Silence's dominance over javelin continued, although it certainly looked like Blooms was going to clinch the match, before an epic late-game comeback and a sub-in from Commod, as they clinched the game by the slenderest of margins.

Roiwerk (12-9) led the assault, with Zizzo (10-8), Rasaq, Tiduz, and Tripin in tow.

For the later bloomers, sn0_op (14-10) was fantastic, but despite good outings from Racka, aprix, and maketso, producing a trio of 8-10s, Okyo (2-9) was atrocious and a sub-in from Amnesti (2-1) proved too little, too late.

HOT: Roiwerk
HOT: sn0_op
NOT: Okyo Drift (2-9). The only thing drifting is your mind, into dementia, because you clearly have forgotten how to jav. Your team is probably hoping you also forget to log in next sunday. Awful.

[ogron]

TWDT-B



Blooms vs. Kamikaze
15:00-0:12

Oder (20-0), ahead of Dwopple and Smoking Blue, led haltaffin, maketso, okyo, Smoking Blue, and okyo to the easy victory.

Beasty, Chrona, Cyrus, Kovalchuk, senorkevin, Violence, wicket, and wiibimbo were apparently on the other team, but you wouldn't know it.

zzz.

Hot: Oder, although getting a Hot in this match was about as easy as heating up soup in a microwave.

---

Stark vs. Paddington
15:00-6:32

Cripple (107-37), i.d. (85-30), Mean Gene, squallFF8, and The Juggernaut spidered ahead of porkjet (2.8 RPD) and hulk (2.9 RPD).

For Paddington, Tiny (22-15) attempted what some might call terring, ahead of 24 and Jerome in shark, and Weak, Jessup, Siaxis, Steep, and Holy Ship in spider.

HOT: Cripple
NOT: Tiny (22-15). You're about as qualified to fly a terr as Charlie Brown is to fly a kite.
---

Silence vs. Baratheon
15:00-7:58

Baratheon completely and wholly embarrassed itself with its worst performance of the season, as Silence ran roughshod over them by an ignominious margin.

Rasaq (94-52), pavement (90-57), wbm, Zizzo, and Flion played ahead of Tiduz (51-3) in terr and Mattey (2.9 RPD) and Commodo (2.9 RPD) in shark.

On the losing side, Turban (89-54) was excellent again, but beyond him and M_M God (87-66), Afri, Mr. Homo, Sulla, as well as Stannis (37-7), Zidane (2.9 RPD), and Rodney (2.9 RPD) were sub-par, and all collectively played like dogshit. Tiduz's 9000 bursts didn't help the situation, but Baratheon would have lost either way. I've been mediocre in terr all season, and if my play doesn't improve, we won't be winning anything.

HOT: Mattey and Commodo
NOT: Baratheon. Abhorrent performance, myself included.

---

Terrorist vs. Fire
15:00-14:31

Fire went out with a bang, pushing #1 seed Terrorist to the brink in their strongest league, in a 15-14 thriller.

Stayon (126-50), Henry Saari (124-49), hellkite, Rough, and Kado spidered ahead of dreamwin, Pat B, and voth -- which would explain why the game was so close. All terrible sharks. No idea who terred this one.

Tj Hazuki (98-95), Trasher (88-45), Jatt, Raizin, and TheWadoRooster played ahead of Mythril and Milosh in shark, with Mikkiz (40-14) taking on terrier duties.

HOT: Stayon

[ogron]

Congratulations to Terrorist on clinching the #1 seed in the final game of the season, as well as Silence for taking the #2 spot, as both of the top teams this season earn byes to the Semi-Finals.

Paddington made a good push late this season, moving into the #3 spot, while Stark finished strong as well, finishing #4, eclipsing Baratheon who will hold the #5 seed.

Blooms went 2-1 in Week 7 to earn the final spot in the playoffs, coming in at #6. Kudos to Fire for a stalwart effort in trying to knock them off, falling just 1 win short -- they acquitted themselves well and played hard, no shame in that. The same can't be said for Kamikaze, who were a complete disgrace this season, and a full 5 games behind Fire, putting together one of the worst seasons in TWDT history.

The playoffs start next week -- good luck to all the teams!

Players of the Week


WB of the Week: Kado (13-5) and Attacks (12-5)
Attack of the low-stars this week, as Kado led Terrorist over 6-1 Silence with a sublime performance, while Attacks took over a game vs. Stark. Nice job!

Honorable Mention: Okyo (14-10). Leading Blooms to a crucial win in TWDT-D over Baratheon in a razor-tight 50-48 match.


Jav of the Week: Shadowmere (17-10) and hellkite (16-9)
Shadowmere moved heaven and earth to win over Stark, but fell just short, while hellkite curb-stomped Kamikaze in a 50-47 game to get the W.


Baser of the Week: Mattey (2.9 RPD) and Commodo (2.9 RPD)
The best sharking duo in TWDT right now, they handed basing Behemoth Baratheon their first real loss of the season, and in stunning fashion, absolutely demolishing them 15-8. Yikes!


Player of the Week: Mythril
Mythril did everything humanly possible to will Fire into the playoffs, dropping a massive team-high 16-7 in TWDT-D, a team-high 9-10 in a tough loss in TWDT-J, and sharking his team to a 15:00-14:31 against 7-0 Terrorist with a recalcitrant 2.9 RPD. His never give up, never surrender attitude is what competition is all about. Kudos.

[ogron]

WB of the Week


Week 1: Ease (15-9).
Ease outdueled Geio in a thrilling 1v1 finale, clinching the W for Silence.

Week 2: Best (18-9)
Best made his TWDT debut in style, massacring Kamikaze with a legendary performance.

Week 3: Raazi (15-9)
Raazi stunned a crowd of 50+ onlookers as he took on two Paddington warbirds 1v2 down 48-49, slaying them both and clinching a critical victory for Fire, and wowing spec chat with his superior play. Kudos!

Week 4: Shadowmere (16-9) and Vys (11-2)
Vys was an absolute monster in helping Baratheon clinch their first TWDT-D victory alongside Best, as the duo trampled over Stark. Shadowmere stomped the Kami with the highest score of the week in a 50-28 romp.

Week 5: Shadowmere (20-9) and 2pacZ (19-6).
Shadowmere was an absolute monster in warbird once again, clutching a 49-49 game on top of dropping 20 kills. Ridiculous! 2pacZ was unstoppable, keeping Silence undefeated in warbird and dropping the hammer on Kamikaze.

Week 6: Ardour (16-5)
Ardour singlehandedly took down Silence in TWDT-D with a monster game, ending Ease's streak of 26 straight undefeated regular season games in wb. Wowza!

Week 7: Kado (13-5) and Attacks (12-5)
Attack of the low-stars this week, as Kado led Terrorist over 6-1 Silence with a sublime performance, while Attacks took over a game vs. Stark. Nice job!


=========================================


Jav of the Week


Week 1:Mean Gene (12-3).
MG slammed Blooms in TWDT-J, leading his team to the promised land.

Week 2: Shaun (18-10)
Shaun was an absolute juggernaut, despite his team getting trounced 50-39, showing the complete repertoire of javelin skills, and likely finding himself on the radar of several TWLJ squads looking to boost their ranks.

Week 3: Dreamwin (18-7)
Dreamwin gobbled up Paddington in a tight 50-44 match featuring multiple veterans, posting a Herculean effort which was very much needed to come away with the win.

Week 4: Dreamwin (15-9)
Dreamwin scored a 15-9 to crush Stark in a massacre, leading Terrorist to a 3-0 this week with impressive outings in wb (14-5) and spider (114-48) as well, and could have very easily been the Player of the Week. Nice work!

Week 5: aprix (12-7) and 24 (12-7).
aprix led Blooms over Terrorist's TWLJ-quality line with icewater in his veins, leading his team in a 50-43 route. 24 did much of the same, MVP'ing over the likes of Ease, Commodo, and Roiwerk to clinch a 50-42 win over Silence's previously undefeated line. Niceness!

Week 6: Ease (18-9)
Ease reminded everyone why he's the best javelin of all-time, ripping Stark open like a bag of chips, and devouring them whole with a titanic 18-9 game.

Week 7: Shadowmere (17-10) and hellkite (16-9)
Shadowmere moved heaven and earth to win over Stark, but fell just short, while hellkite curb-stomped Kamikaze in a 50-47 game to get the W.


=========================================


Baser of the Week:

Week 1: Cripple (116-39). He got the most amount of kills in the least amount of time this week, leading Stark to a solid victory over Blooms.

Week 2: Mattey (3.1 RPD) and Commodo (3.1 RPD)
For a complete shutdown of a good basing squad, smothering them with a clockwork cram and coming up with a cold-blooded 15-2 win over Kamikaze.

Week 3: Cripple (161-55)
This was maybe the biggest score in TWDT-B history, and in a 15 minute game no less. Wowza! Stark unfortunately managed to lose the match 15-14, but through no fault of his own, putting up a Colossal performance. Great work!

Week 4: nosydawg (111-65)
nosydawg managed to outkill the likes of Trasher and Kess in a 15-12 thriller, MVP'ing the game and leading Kamikaze to the upset victory over Fire. Kudos!

Week 5: Best (104-55)
Best shined in a tough TWDT-B match against a superior opponent, sizzling them for 104 kills when no other player got out of the 80s. Dominant!

Week 6: Trasher (132-45)
This was an almost must-win game for Fire, and Trasher made the most of a fortuitous zone crash, returning with a vengeance and lighting Silence up for 132 and clinching the W.

Week 7: Mattey (2.9 RPD) and Commodo (2.9 RPD)
The best sharking duo in TWDT right now, they handed basing Behemoth Baratheon their first real loss of the season, and in stunning fashion, absolutely demolishing them 15-8. Yikes!


=========================================


Player of the Week

Week 1: Dreamwin.
Dreamwin is an idiot and not anywhere near as good at this game as he thinks he is, but he performed across all three leagues this week as Terrorist went 3-0, with a 15-9 in wb, 16-7 in jav, and 105-49 in spider, and earned the Player of the Week.

Week 2: Ease.
Silence was the only squadron to go 3-0 this week, as Ease led the foray through TWDT-D with a 10-9, TWDT-J with a 15-8, and TWDT-B with an 83-36. While the warbirding match over Fire and basing match over Kamikaze were fait accompli, the javing match required both deft skill and aplomb to navigate and come out with the victory over a TWLJ Finals line featuring both talent and synergy in Stayon, Rough, and Dreamwin, and he came through with flying colors, MVPing the match.

Week 3: Stayon.
Stayon led Terrorist with a superb 14-4 to knockoff Kamikaze in TWDT-D, a solid 10-8 in TWDT-J versus a recalcitrant Paddington, and a game-high 88-32 over Kamikaze in TWDT-B, as his team went a perfect 3-0 this week, leading the league.

Week 4: Weak and Commodo
Weak was immaculate in TWDT-D this week, notching a 10-0 ace in warbird over Kamikaze, then following it up with an MVP over Baratheon in TWDT-J, sizzling them with a 14-7 outing, going 2-0 for the week and helping Paddington to a 2-1 performance.

Commodo beasted a hotly contested 50-39 TWDT-J match, amassing a Herculean 15-6 to clinch the W, then managed a 3.0 RPD sharking a 15-4 massacre of Blooms alongside Mattey, going 2-0 for the week and leading Silence to a perfect 3-0.

Week 5: Turban and Zidane
While Best also managed a 3-0 on his new squad, Turban felt he had something to prove after being traded for the second time this season, taking down the squad that drafted him in two leagues, crushing Fire with a 10-6 in TWDT-D and a scorching 108-35 in TWDT-B when no one else was even close to 90, while stomping Kamikaze in TWDT-J in-between.

Zidane was also instrumental in leading Baratheon to its first 3-0 week, notching a 10-5 in warbird, a 13-6 in javelin, and a 3.0 RPD in shark as the 4x TWLJ Champion expands his already impressive resumé to all three leagues. Kudos!

Week 6: Shadowmere
Shadowmere has been knocking on the door of Player of the Week for several weeks now, leading his squadron to a 6-0 over a fortnight (alongside Weak and 24, as the trio have been producing across all three leagues), including ridiculous 16-9, 20-9 scores in TWDT-D Weeks 4 and 5. He produced a balanced effort this week, with a game-high 13-9 in TWDT-D vs. Terrorist, an incisive 9-8 in TWDT-J vs. a recalcitrant Blooms, and a 48-13 terrier performance in TWDT-J in a stunning 15:00-14:41 upset in TWDT-B. Kudos!

Week 7: Mythril
Mythril did everything humanly possible to will Fire into the playoffs, dropping a massive team-high 16-7 in TWDT-D, a team-high 9-10 in a tough loss in TWDT-J, and sharking his team to a 15:00-14:31 against 7-0 Terrorist with a recalcitrant 2.9 RPD. His never give up, never surrender attitude is what competition is all about. Kudos.
