TWLD
Vikings vs. You2be
50-49
Cloth was the hero of this game, with a monstrous 17-9 in this 50-49 nailbiter, alongside a massive 17-10 by veteran Jones, in an exciting match chock full of Herculean efforts (with three players account for 54% of the kills), as the pair carried Enf (6-6), Ison (5-10), Ravos (0-4), and Steep (3-7) to the W.
You2be saw a titanic effort from the relatively unknown Raizin, who looked like Vishnu at his keyboard putting up a mesmerizing 20-9 effort, falling just short of victory, alongside Amar (11-10), Eren (8-10), Fiora (2-5), Stack (1-5), and Stung (7-10).
HOT: Raizin (20-9)
HOT: Cloth (17-9)
HOT: Jones (17-10)
NOT: Fiora, Stack, Ravos, Steep. So many tied NOTs you'd think you'd think you were at Sailor school. Awful.

Fierce vs. Potenza
50-36
Apok (15-8) and Skepsis (15-8) took control of this game, as the Slash Brothers carved up Potenza in convincing fashion, ahead of Geio, Lasenza, and Welt.
On the losing side, Okyo (11-10) and Tanzu (11-10) put in strong performances, but couldn't muster good scores from Caos (5-10), Cres (6-10), or Iron Not-So-Survivor (3-10).
HOT: Apok
HOT: Skepsis
NOT: Iron Survivor, who, like a Civil War re-enactor, thought he was reenacting the World Cup finals against Germany.

Vikings vs. Paladen
50-44
Jones continued his assault on TWLD, smashing through Paladen's line with a titanic 17-7, ahead of Cloth (10-9), Ison (8-6), Ravos (9-8), Major Crisis (0-4) and Warrior (6-6).
Racketeer (13-10), Plead (10-10), and Afri (10-10) put in strong showings, but were sunk by Paladen veterans Jessup (5-10) and Alextron (2-6), with a solid sub-in from Jebass (4-4).
HOT: Jones the Destroyer
NOT: Jessup, who's been the best player on Paladen for years (and the nicest player in Subspace), with a sub-par 5-10 in a very winnable match.

Fierce vs. Burn
50-37
TWLD legend Deez Nuts (13-4) dominated this game, with Apok (12-10), Lasenza (10-7), Skepsis (9-8), and Welt (4-1) in tow, and in spite of an atrocious outing from Geio (1-6).
Cape (10-10), Best (9-10), and Weaver (8-10) played well, while Mythril and Raazi couldn't match their pace, notching a pair of 5-10s.
HOT: Deez Nuts
NOT: Geio, with a 1-6 on the winning team.
Geio is now having one of the worst seasons in TWLD history while on a competitive top-tier team:
As Jalen Rose would say, keep gettin' dem checks -- Lay low and hope no one notices.

Cobra vs. LEGO
50-27
Rasaq (11-3), Clark Kentaro (11-7), Shadowmere (10-7), Ricko (9-3), and Casket (8-7) put in a nice team effort to stomp LEGO out.
Turban (9-10) was once again the lone bright spot, ahead of bad showings from delectable, Flew, Henry Saari, Joemama, Pat B, and ROWS.
HOT: Rasaq
NOT: ROWS, with another atrocious performance going 3-8. I'd tell you to get a new alias to get away from the stink on your name, but it wouldn't make you a better player.
A rows by any other name.

Dudgeon vs. You2be
50-35
megaman89 (15-7) impressed in his debut, leading JAMAL (12-7), dreamwin (10-8), Zizzo (10-9), and the perenially underperforming plob#f (3-4).
Amar, Eren, raizin, Stack, and stung all negged, with Fiora (8-5) the only player to put out, with a great sub-in.
HOT: megaman89
NOT: Stack (1-5). Like a chimney stack, you love it when guys stick their wood into you, and go up in smoke after someone lights you up.

LEGO vs. Dudgeon
50-36
Flew (17-7) and Turban (14-7) pulled of a minor upset taking down Dudgeon in LD, leading joemama (8-7), ROWS (8-9), and Henry Salami (3-6) to victory.
JAMAL, Stayon, Zizzo, megaman89, Omega Red, and Rough all failed to achieve parity.
HOT: Flew
NOT: Omega Red (3-7), who gets more subs in TWLD than NAMBLA members do when Jared shows up at a meeting.

Potenza vs. Burn
50-41
In what turned out to be the biggest upset of the week, Potenza took the fight to a heavily-favored Burn squad without Racka/Mythril/Ease/Weak, and showed no mercy, handing them a 50-41 defeat.
Cres (12-8) and Okyo (12-9) led their team with ferocity, ahead of Tanzu (10-9), Iron Survivor (9-7), and Served (7-8).
Raazi (12-10) and Best (10-10) did their best to keep the ship afloat, but couldn't buoy Cape (5-10), Weaver (4-10), and Kira Tomato (1-5), and a suprise (to me, more than anyone) sub-in by Ogron (9-5) proved too little, too late.
HOT: Cres
NOT: Weaver

Cobra vs. Paladen
50-24
Racketeer (10-10) was the only Paladener to hit double digits, as Afri, Alextron, Jebass, Jessup, and Plead all failed to get more than 5 kills apiece.
On the winning side, Ricko absolutely massacred them with a ridiculous 16-3, ahead of Casket (13-4), who might more appropriately be named Casket-maker, Riverside (6-6), Vys (7-5), and Kentaro (8-6) looking a bit more like Clark Kent than Superman in this one.
HOT: Ricko
NOT: AF(K)RI, with an abhorrent 0-5. Unless you died at your computer on GO, there's no excuse for getting zero kills in a ship Welt goes positive in.
