9.00PM AEDT :Team HoH
VS
QED Mixed Lollies
HoH started of with only and players in their team and have since received a few new players and a couple of promotions and hope to be a challenge for league favourites QED Mixed Lollies. The Mixed Lollies team will be feeling the pressure to perform, one slip up could see TA or ZeroCraft taking a lead on the points table and with all the teams seeing Mixed Lollies as a serious threat, Mixed Lollies will be up against a HoH A team line up ready to do their best for their team.

9.00PM AEDT :Fusion Slugs
VS
VB Sober Soldiers
Fusion Slugs have had a slow start to the season, and are off the back of a 0-6 defeat. They will want to raise their spirits with a win against VB this week. However VB are hoping to take a game this week and put themselves into the mix and start climbing up the ladder. Both teams will fight hard for their first win this week!..
9.00PM AEDT :TCP Marinu Dropu
VS
ToR ToRmentors
TCP are yet to flex the potency everyone was expecting from them. Against a formidable ToR line up, their talents will be pushed and we will see if the strong TCP line up has the ability to deliver. ToR team performed well in previous weeks, often only losing matches from one result or map. This week they will be practising hard if they hope to climb the points table!
9.00PM AEDT :TA Edarus and Friends
VS
FaDe
The battle of the Mirror matches (except for match 2). Which team knows their race the best? both top teams with TA needing the win to stay on top and FaDe still chasing the win they need to come back into the competition, they've managed 3/4 draws and will be working hard to take the win this week!
I have a question (I mentioned it in the PM but I think everyone can benefit from it) Ive just submitted our line up, now today Season 6 opens, what happens if people are promoted/demoted between the time the roster is submitted and match day?

For this week, and this week only I think it would be fair if everyone's season 5 placement was used for line up submissions. If there are significant differences from Season 5 leagues (Bronze to Gold or vice versa, etc) then they will be considered on a case by case basis. Submit your line ups as they were yesterday - then update your teams placement by next week.
Next week, all players must do their placement before they can play - Failure to do so may result in a walk over give over the player that had not done their placement.
That being said, I hope you are all eager to do your placement and I hope we all get promotions so we can continue the battles in the Tier 4 tournament next season!
To add on ChadMann's post; we'd like ALL player promotions to be documented and posted in the Tier 5 Thread by team managers to keep full disclosure between admins and teams. YOU are responsible for yourself and your team, WE are responsible for running the tournament and sorting problems.
They key to a good tournament (and relationship) is communication. Also being sexy at all times. Happy valentines day
Chad, i have noticed that you haven't changed my race to z vs p, after i posted it a while ago in the Tier 5 thread, so could you please change it asap? Thanks
It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

Even though I'm thankful that you didn't take the w/o against marine, I'm pretty disapointed that after 1 hour you go for the w/o, especially after I wait for my match (I know I rescheduled it) and I was prepared to wait until your player came on (I told chad or edarus that I didn't want the w/o and I would wait) and we let you sub in a player even though you already had.
This isn't supposed to be a I MUST ******* WIN THIS tournament and you shouldn't be thinking in that way.

Everyone is aware of this now, let's leave it at that and concentrate on Week 6.
This isn't supposed to be a I MUST ******* WIN THIS tournament and you shouldn't be thinking in that way.
Believe me this is not they way I think, yes we are competitive, but you have a completely incorrect impression of myself and FaDe.
I am very disappointed in the knee-jerk reactions by people who are not fully informed of the situation. I thought this had been put bed but I visit here today and see this. I took my issues to the admin channel, including a 2 hour chat at 1am in the morning with Edarus, where it was resolved.
Edarus and I came to an amicable solution to the situation and we have both moved on, on good terms. There is no need to reignite the issue with mis-information.
VB_sober soldiers [4] def Fusion Slugs [2] - BenAD leading Fusion Slugs by example and taking the ace game for himself. this is a great result for VB, as they will now be sitting on the 4 point barrier. they have some work to do to get through the 7 and then 10 point mark, but if they can string two solid weeks together, suddenly they are in the hunt. Having had the bye also, VB can focus on the remainder of the season
TA [4] def FaDe [1]. with 1 still to play Chadmann's run in tight situations continues, as if he had lost to welshy, it would be 3-2 with 1 to play ono Saturday. Minimat and edarus are solid as always. Fade have gotta be a little disappointed with the result, but both Welshy and FaDeMuss taking a game off their TA opponent is a really good sign for the rest of the season. espectially Muss, as he was 1 league down against his opponent
TCP [3] tied with ToR [3] While congratulations must go to both teams for gettting points this week, i cant help but feel a touch let down. I had picked the winner of this match to be the dark horse for the rest of the season, the one that could possibly make the frontrunners very nervous. But then they tied. Where does that leave my prediction? I have no idea. Looking at the table, ToR moves to a very respectable 4 points, while TCP is on 2 points, right in the middle of the glut that is the bottom 6. Further, neither team has had the bye yet this season. While only the rest of the season can tell, this might have been the match that stopped both teams seasons dead in their tracks - as they both really needed the three points to kickstart their season
Good performances - Navic - he beat me when Zerocraft played TCP, this guy is a beast. Without looking through the results, i can think of maybe 1 match he hasnt won. what a guy Zandarax & JoFritzMD waving the banner for ToR, really winning the matches when it counts. None of this would be possible without JoFritz (grats on promotion to Plat), and it is great that he is actually performing in our league.
Zerocraft [3] v QED Krnn & Co Pty Ltd [2] STILL IN PROGRESS This match is finely poised, with QED's superstar ace, Jenkins, taking down one of our best Mazei in a great ZvZ game. I know after talking to Mazei, he is not feeling great about the loss and wanted to bring this one home for Zerocraft.
However, the rest of the Zerocraft team stood up, with the ever solid Spazznx and Arnor. and a guy that is developing a bit of a reputation in our team Betasoo, the Korean living in New Zealand. In the last three weeks, this guy has been Ace twice, and the 4th player once. He has played 2 pvps as ace, and got the very solid Schnitzel last night. BeTasoo's game score after the 3 matches: 6-0. what a guy! he is dragging this Zerocraft team up the ladder with every match he plays.
And then there was one game. Rythos vs Krrn . Now i dont want to pressure the players (who am i kidding, yes i do), but it all comes down to this one. Rythos wins, Zerocraft get 3 points. Krrn win, QED come away with a great draw given the game score from the first 4 matches.
QED Mixed Lollies v Team HoH
What are these results not up?!?!? I need my friday fill of tier 5 action
Mini Announcement
This tier is seriously the best. I have decided i am going to donate a 1 month subscriptions to The Grandmaster Manual to a player at the end of the season. They may not be the highest ranked player, but it will be a guy that has played a lot and tried hard and posted good results. They may not be the MVP of the league or anything, but i want to find someone who has potential who loves tier 5 with potential to go higher. Chad or Maynarde you keen to give me a hand picking this towards the end of the season?
Is anyone else willing to put in some prizes, maybe something for the MVP of the finals etc?

Hey man, Firstly.. Great write up! Glad your so enthusiastic about the league!!
And as far as selecting a winner for TGM, I'd suggest that each team manager nominate a 'Most Improved' player from their team.. for example, for my team last season, that was Incognito (he started the season in bronze, and finished in gold and soon after got Platinum)... Doesn't need to be the player that has climbed the most leagues, but someone that has put in an effort at practice, maybe its the bronze that is asking all the plats for practice games!? what ever it is, I'd suggest you get each team manager to nominate a 'Most improved' and then you can judge - if you want Maynarde and I to help you out I'm sure we can give you a hand!
Was gonna rep. But haveing trouble with my iPhone so it's a empathic +1000000 u make my write up attempts for tier 1 and QeD news look kindergarten level. Love your work and will see about getting those results for you
lol Vol Betasso has only played twice (once as Ace :P) I think you're including his awesome performance in SEACC!
Im really enjoying the league, the ex-clanless guys are great and friendly additions like Betasso and DoT really make it enjoyable to log onto SCII more often (and Im obsessed with Heroes VI atm)
Interesting fun fact
there are only 4 players on the ZC that have made 3 appearances
Spazznx, Arnor, Etheryu and Rythos (who still has to play this weeks match)
suprisingly Spazz, myself and Etheryu are all 3-0(6-1) while Rythos is currently on 2-0(4-0) im predicting Rythos to win 2-1 in a very tight series!
Anyway props to MaynMann for admining this awesoem league, looking over how some of the other tiers are running atm this one seems to be running the smoothest (which is a great accomplishment by everyone but hats off to MaynMann for keeping us )
P.S. You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Volition again.

Everyone I apologise for the later reply as I have been away and was relying a bit on the clan being organised enough to co-ordinate the results themselves however never that simple XD, however i will post as soon as I know what is going on
Yeah I think the issue here was a few TA members talking out of turn when they didn't know the full story.
They have all since been told the full deal and I think have settled down about this -_-
overreactions like this will not be tolerated and I have spoken to Edarus about this.

He did, but I told him to get back in the kitchen.
I do apologise if anything anyone has said from my team has offended any members of the league as that was not the intention as I understand it.
The team has been worded up about the situation and as Rezyn said we did discuss the issue at length and came to a resolution we both agreed was the most fair on both teams given the circumstances, and as he said without any bad blood.
So chill bros and hos, and enjoy the rest of the season!
