I do realize now that I forgot to update and log one of the games on the 30th. I updated it though yesterday on the 31st.
But, you have played in Game 7954428, Game 7954431, Game 8026540, Game 8031457, Game 8107724, and Game 8156713.
I grealty apologize for the error in the update, but unfortunately you've already played 6 games (and so has everyone else), so there won't be another game.

Tournament Update

1/17 (January 17): Epic Conference finishes Finals stage. I_AM_BOGEY, earlybirdbrew, and Pezter advance to the League Final!

[WorldCup4James]

Game 8325154 has ended, so the standings have been updated. They can be found, as usual, on the first post.

So the Hardcore Conference only has 1 more game remaining (Game 8325153) until the final 3 competitors from the conference have been determined.

Then, we can finally kick off the League Final, with three players from each Conference.

[WorldCup4James]

Both conferences have now finished their Finals rounds, and so the 6 finalists have been determined for the League Final!

The 3 emerging from the Epic Conference are [player]I_AM_BOGEY[/player], [player]earlybirdbrew[/player], and [player]Pezter[/player], while the 3 advancing from the heated battles of the Hardcore Conference are [player]patrickaa317[/player], [player]kingjames38[/player], and [player]barlogea[/player].

I will be making the League Final shortly, which will be played on the Classic map, with the same settings. The order of the players in the game will be determined randomly using Random.org. There's only one chance to win; the winner of the League Final is the champion of the tournament!

The final standings are below. As you can see, the third place position in both conferences was highly contested for in both conferences.

And good luck to the remaining 6 in the League Final!
