This week's TWLB games were all fairly lopsided which illustrates just how wide the skill gaps (or as some would say, stacking) are currently in basing.
I did not actually watch any of these games apart from my own so keep that in mind when reading my bullshit analysis.

dice 15:00 vs 5:26 Force
Lopsided game #1 featured past basing legends dice and the new kids on the block Force. Looking at the lineup Dice fielded in this game it looks almost nothing like the dice of the glory days, but they did take Force to school regardless.
Stayon seemed to have a good game here in terrier going 30-1 with Mythril and 24 performing well in shark. Beanie, Henry Saari and dreamwin carried Holy Ship and nosydawg in spider. Or stole all their kills, whatever.
On the losing side it seems everyone gave the same average and ultimately lackluster performance with no one standing out one way or the other. None of the spiders negged, sharks had good rpd's and okyo died only 4 times in terrier.
HOT: Stayon (30-1) nice terring there puta
HOT: Beanie (94-38) and Henry Saari (90-32) highest kills, good job
NOT: no one
Thunder 15:00 vs 3:57 Dynasty
Lopsided game #2 pitted #1 favorite Thunder against the dueling underdogs of Dynasty and the score certainly shows that.
Not much to say here, Thunder steamrolled over Dynasty. Hopefully Dynasty will not be such a pushover in the future.
HOT: zidane (25-48, 3.0 rpd) and mcvicar (24-54, 2.9 rpd) Thunder's greatest strength is their shark department.
HOT: ro (70-23) Nice game and mvp.
HOT: AFRI (55-39) the only player to perform well on the losing side, well done.
NOT: BlindTal (5-19 in terrier) Not the best start in TWL for BlindTal being put in terrier against a powerhouse squad, but one has to wonder if his nickname actually has a basis in reality.
NOT: Guero (31-58) and feat (31-55) even in a match like this that is atrocious.
Spark 15:00 vs 6:49 Paladen
The closest match of the week had the bottom rated dueling teams Spark and Paladen duke it out and Spark came up on top with a wide margin.
Looking at the lineups here it's easy to see why Spark won, they actually have some basers - plus apparently their duelers are also better at basing than Paladen's.
HOT: Banks (93-21) most kills, least deaths, and 7 teks to boot! Very nice.
HOT: Bonghits (24-65, 2.8 rpd) good shark performance on the losing side from their only actual baser.
NOT: Fork (16-52, 2.2 rpd) come on, hopefully you either learn to shark a bit or don't shark for the rest of the season if this is how you perform vs Paladen.
NOT: rest of Paladen
Cobra 15:00 vs 1:39 LEGO
The most lopsided match of the week had a strong showing from Cobra vs a sorely lacking LEGO.
Cobra had seemingly no weak spots as everyone performed well, but it is hard to do badly in a complete rout like this match was.
On paper I don't think LEGO should have lost this as badly as they did, but it apparently came down to lack of strength in spider with 4 of their 5 spiders negging. Mikkiz in terrier and porkjet/markmrw in shark could not carry the sinking ship.
As with Dynasty, hopefully LEGO will do better in the future.
HOT: turban (97-34) Didn't quite break 100 but whatever, well played.
HOT: Commodo (9-55, 3.0 rpd) and cranium (6-59, 2.9 rpd) Good performance from Commodo and an inactive cranberry.
HOT: Ricko (58-8) Whoa, who was playing on your name Dicko? Can we get someone to do an alias check?
NOT: dsb (27-49), Jatt (22-45), tj hazuki (42-55), Pat (34-46) Pretty horrible, go shoot at some asteroids in a private arena or something.
