[the phantom]

You are allowed THREE trades.
You can have FOUR players from a single squad.
The star limit is NINE.

Semifinal predictions are worth three points each. Predict the winners-
Angband vs Doriath
Pelori vs Tol In Gaurhoth

Everyone has some dead wood sitting about after that last round. Here's a look at how everyone stands on owning players that have been eliminated.

Number of "Dead" Players

• The Lynch Mob (7)
• Noggportunistics (6)
• Unnamed Horror (6)
• They Have a Cave Troll (5)
• The Numbering Horde (5)

• Wrath of the Monkey (5)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Just 32 pts for me, phantom. T_T

(You kept my hopes up with that 36-pt announcement, though.)

That Westron loss kicks my palantíri.

[the phantom]

Ah yes, got it Nilp.

And also, everyone keep in mind that these final four teams ALL play two more matches- the semis, and then the championship match plus bronze medal match between the semifinal losers. So, you won't be losing any more players.

[satansaloser2005]

I can't remember. Is this our final trade?

Also, man. I was going to switch out for a Pelori player but didn't get around to it. Oh well.

Negative there's the semi finals which is this round. And then the Championship and Bronze matches in the next round. So 2 more rounds of trading.

And as phantom said no more teams eliminated (Good. As most of us left that last round battered and bruised ) and allowed 4 players from a team now.

*sigh*

I've really gone back and forth on this, thinking that it would make sense for it being a bigger deal to have a high-star player eliminated, and that dead players are still technically on your team- meaning that stars still count.

But then I've also thought that it's bad enough to lose half your team and that those players really shouldn't count... Bleh.

In the end, I have decided that eliminated stars do NOT count in your total. With limited trades already this should make things a bit easier to manage.

I believe so...it's more of just time to catch up and making a few different choices. Although, I think both games are toss-ups so at this point anything can happen right?

I did say Arien was a riskier pick. (And I did get one (paltry) pt more than you did in that round. )

Anyway, welcome back, and lovely EAisticle article.

Come on, we are running out of other options.

Stupid Lothlorien, I put a lot of stock in that team and it came back to bit me pretty hard.

I did too. Fortunately, I managed to emerge relatively unscathed. I'm glad I dumped all my Eregion players.

I will post my picks tonight.

If I remember correctly, Arien in particular didn't get any points that round. Plus, you said Valinor would beat Pelori.

Whatever.

I feel happy! I feel happy! (apologies, I felt obligated ).

I'm going to try to do TTN's take after work today, but it's the opening of a new place and I'm sure to be a card-carrying zombie after closing. Basically, if it's not finished tonight, there will be nothing from TTN this round.

So still three players without a chance to affect the tallies... but I must say I'm happy I was not forced to change my redundant one star goalie into someone who anyway gives away two goals -looking at the attacking power of the coming matches I'm not willing to spend my few changes to the defending part of the team anyway...

Heh, when I took a look at this two days ago I thought of making this radical pick and take my wolvish-self into my team - but now it seems it's more ike a common choice...


The predictions will be very hard this time. I can see what Boro thinks with his choises as the only way to narrow the gap is to do something different the others do. I'm not sure I wish to follow him on the Doriath vs. Angband -game, but I might stick with him on the T-I-G vs. Pelori one...

I need to think it a moment before making any official predictions.

[Nogrod]

Uh-Ohh... It's like flipping a coin...



Doriath beats Angband

The game will actually end in a draw, then Doriath wins either in the overtime or the latest in the penalty shoot-out. But it will be the most contested games in the tournament thus far. Nothing is given for free and no one will be slacking. This is a game for real (and some view it as the moral final)!


Pelori makes it over T-I-G.

To try and win I need to explore these possibilities the minority will take. T-I-G has scored a lot but they have not met with any strong defenders as yet. Pelori will shut their attacks out and will score one more T-I-G will do...

[Kuruharan]

All right- I believe we're only waiting for Skip now. If you plan to do articles or anything on the main thread, get them in today or tomorrow if you could, for if I had to wager a guess I'd say the semifinals will be up sometime on Sunday.

My apologies for the delay in the Angband-Doriath semi final. Between work and WW this is taking longer than I anticipated to write, but will be finished and posted tonight. It's a dandy.

[Boromir88]

Semi-final completed.

My sincerest apologies for the huge slow down on this one. I was finishing it up late after work a few days ago, but was not happy with what I was writing at all. Scrapped the whole thing (which probably was not a good idea in hindsight). I asked tp if he could do it, but he's pretty bogged down this weekend too.

After some brief distractions of friends and needed encouragement capped off by having the Game of Thrones bought for me, it's done. It can't be worth the wait, but hopefully fun to read.

Don't be silly, Boro! It is better that you think!

I don't know about that. Boro sometimes frightens me when he's thinking.
