DazBurg and naste impossible to split.


Well, the odds had mixed success last round! nick_the_insane has been analysing results and may-or-may-not publish something to discuss. I’m still very impressed with them, and below we have another round of interesting match-ups.

Highlight Games

(Ladder position, Average Score)

Dream Team

Too Close to Call

$1.91 elephants (3rd, 2016) versus $1.89 Marcz (1st, 2020)

If this isn’t match of the round, I don’t know what is! Percentage the only thing separating these two, both heavily favoured for the flag and top-spot, both looking for a big scalp. Also, Sharks playing against Elephants is kinda cool. I have a feeling home-ground could be crucial.

$1.96 Boomz (11th, 1976) versus $1.85 RobsOverAchieverss (8th, 1982)

Both teams perilously sit in the middle of the top 16, both teams not certain for finals. Rob has outscored Boomz the last 3 weeks, but all have been close affairs.

$1.84 Flame (5th, 1972) versus $1.97 pyronerd (12th, 1962)

Flame had a terrible week last week that saw him drop from top spot to 5th spot with a sub 1800 score. On the other hand, pyronerd was one of the few teams that topped 2000. This game will show where both teams stand.

David v Goliath

$6.16 bunyip (29th, 1846) versus $1.13 pyronerd (12th, 1962)

Pyronerd has outscored bunyip in 6 of 7 rounds so far this year, and a massive effort from the Kitty follower is required. However, bunyip was in a similar position against McRooster last week and came away with a win! Can lightning strike twice?

$1.17 Junktimer (7th, 2021) versus $5.15 Alex7089 (28th, 1719)

The very consistent Junktimer would be desperate to get this game in the wins column after being upset by the previous bottom-of-the-table DazBurg last week. Alex7089 is much better than his average suggests, and is looking to get back into finals contention.

$4.29 Alex7089 (28th, 1719) versus $1.22 valkorum (20th, 1975)

It doesn’t get any easier for Alex! Valkorum, although sitting in 20th position on the ladder, has scored the 10th most points for the year and needs a victory to improve his 3-5 record.

SuperCoach

Too Close to Call

$1.90 DazBurg (6th, 2119) versus $1.90 naste (13th, 2119)

100,000 simulations couldn’t separate these two. Victorian v All-Star. Naste had an impressive week last year, and needs the victory more for ladder position, I’ll back my All-Star team-mate to get through on this one.

$1.98 thornz23 (12th, 2087) versus $1.83 RobsOverAchieverss (7th, 2096)

Thornz23 has shown glimpses of greatness during the year, but Rob finds himself higher on the ladder with a higher average. I think Rob will have a thorn in his paw (I promise, that’s the last pun).

$1.99 MajorLazer (19th, 2116) versus $1.83 CrowsFan (5th, 2127)

Despite showing similar form during the year, CrowsFan finds himself 14 spots higher on the ladder than MajorLazer. Can CrowsFan continue his charmed run?

David v Goliath

$1.23 Hellopplz (27th, 2145) versus $4.23 hawka26 (25th, 1999)

Hawka26 ranks last on points for the year so far, while his opponent Hellopplz sits 2 spots lower on the ladder but 10th on points! Hellopplz desperately needs a win to capitalise on his good form. Hellopplz could do with an easier week following a 6 point victory and 3 point defeat last week!

$1.30 BratPack (17th, 2129) versus $3.55 roo boys! (32nd, 2013)

BratPack sits outside the top 16 on percentage only and has outscored roo boys! on all 7 occasions this year. roo boys! is trying valiantly to change his form, and this is a must win for him.

$3.19 roo boys! (32nd, 2013) versus $1.36 bomberboy0618/Luigi197 (24th, 2124)

Roo boys! faces another challenger desperate to win, as the dynamic duo of BB and L197 looking to improve on a 3-5 record.
