CCSL: S18 Review / S19 Preview

For New Players, 1st this is a quick look back at the Season just finished. Then I will let you know what to expect in your 1st Super League Season. To follow this and all future HIGHLIGHTS you need to be able to look up the 'LIVE' Scoreboards. They are always on this Link. In about 3 weeks you will be looking at them on a daily basis analysing what results you need to get to where you want to be. That is what this League dies to you! So do yourself a favour and bookmark it so you can look em up whenever you want. NOTE: Scoreboards is set across a few different Tabs covering different area's of performance:



What a Season 18 of the Super League we just had! 8,988 Individual Games took place, all to create 1 CHAMPION of the Super League! It takes the total number of Games played in the Super League to OVER 160,000!

Let's have a re-cap of the Players making the HEADLINES that Season............

- Our Champion this Season was none other than 'The Mouth' Clanlord Carl. A HUGE Congratulations. He made it his mission to climb to the Top of the Super League and after 6 Failed Attempts He got there in style. Dominating from the start, he crossed The Rubicon in Match Day 14 when the Title was only his to throw away. It was HUMILIATION or GLORY! And for a short time, it did look like he was going to suffer an EPIC COLLAPSE. But alas it was not to be. He re-gained his composure and crowned his 1st PREMIER LEAGUE VICTORY by 3 CLEAR POINTS! That League Win also gave him a TOTAL of 9 Titles, 1 clear of his closest rival there! So, once again, CONGRATULATIONS CARL! And for the rest of us, WATCH OUT. Carl just maybe start to live up to his own HYPE, and if he does that, then we really are in trouble!

- 'The Eagle' dar2play started late in the Super League. This Season, after Winning his 1st 5 League Races, propelling him up to League 09. He was going for his 6 TIMER. That is SCUDDING 6 LEAGUES in a ROW. Great RISK Players who start late in the Super League, that is what they do! REFUSE to LOSE! He was only the 4th Seed at the start of the Season, there were 3 HIGHER RANKED Opponents he had to overcome. Well, he done it with EASE! Finishing 6 Points clear the destination of the League 09 Title was nexr in doubt! The 6 Timer under his belt. Next Season could be a RECORD EQUALLING Season for him. The most number of League Titles won in a Row is SEVEN! 'The Mouth' Clanlord Carl, Avi8or 'Is Usually Flying' & *Pixar* 'The Movie Maker' are the 3 Players who have achieved that. Is 'The Eagle' good enough to join them? He starts off as the 4th Seed again so 3 RISK MONSTERS are standing in his way!

- THE INVINCIBLES. The Players who have navigated there way through an ENTIRE SUPER LEAGUE SEASON without tasting defeat even once! A TREMENDOUS ACHIEVEMENT! To Play a Match Up versus every Opponent in your League TWICE and the worst result you achieve all Season long is 'The Dessies'....A 2-2 Draw. It takes an IMMENSE RISK Player to do that. This Season, there were 4!:
Caymanmew League 16 8WINS 8draws
JPcelticfc League 17 10WINS 8draws
elMummio League 9WINS 5draws
Peteee League 26 6WINS 4draws

- The HALL OF FAME is a record of the MOST SUCCESFUL PLAYERS in the entire HISTORY of the Super League. 2 Players have DOMINATED from the start!
1st: 'The Goat' shoop76 (190 HoF Points) - Suffering a SHOCK RELEGATION last Season he was DOUBLE MUNTED out of the PREMIER and had to do battle in League 01. A Tough League but with a Ranking of 3101 at the start of the Season he was Seeded 1st to take it down and return to the Premier. But this one did not go the way of the form book. He ended up having to scramble to get himself into 3rd place by 1 point. That gives him a 1 League Promotion into the CHAMPIONSHIP. Not back to the TOP LEAGUE yet. But, if he wins that, he gives Himself an un-assailable lead at the top of the Hall of Fame!
2nd: Craig25 'aka Lex Fu*king Luthor' (155 HoF Points) - Had a HORRENDOUS start to My League Campaign this Season. The further up the Super League you go, the margins become very fine. To Win the Premier, you need to play PERFECT RISK over an entire Season AND GET LUCKY! There was no luck coming my way but I did make an impressive recovery and got within 3 Points of the eventual Champ Carl. Although I remain on 155 HoF Points, only 1 Premier League WIN is required to overtake 'The Goat' as the finest ANY MAP, SIMPLE SETTINGS 2 PLAYER RISK PLAYER on the PLANET.........
3rd: 'The Mouth' Clanlord Carl (136 HoF Points) - See above, The 45 HoF Points he gets for SCUDDING the Super Leagues TOP TITLE moves him into 3rd Place. He's going to need another PREMIER TITLE to get himself into 2nd in this RACE, the Toughest of them all! When asked of his chances of becoming one of the Top 2, 2 Player RISK Players Carl was surprisingly down beat, saying..........'I HOPE to compete'........
4th: Ukey 'The Great War Champ' (115 HoF Points) - A Disappointing Season for the 2 TIME PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMP. He never threatened in the Premier Last Season, finishing in mid-table obscurity. But a Win in the Premier this Season would see him replace Craig25 as 2nd Best. So that ain't happening!

1 Season 18 CHAMP still to announce. League 19 went to the last day of the Season!
League 19 Average Rank: 1670 Runners: 9
And it was 2nd Seed serram who was just waiting on other Results becoming clear before he was crowned CHAMP! It's his 1st League Title, but, he won this at a canter. Finishing 5 Points clear of the 1st Seed He moves up to League 16 next Season. Does this mean he has found his feet in the Super League and is going to start on an AMZING RUN that will take him to the TOP LEAGUES? His Rank has moved up to 2040 in his Title Winning Season, that will make him the 3rd HIGHEST RANKED Player in League 16 so he is certainly in the mix to make it a DOUBLE Title Win! The 1st Seed was FuegoFuego who needs to settle for a 2 League Promotion for finishing runner up. In his 1st Season he was a CHAMP, in his 2nd Season 2nd. But nobody remembers RUNNERS UP. serram has his name written in the Super League History Books, Fuego moves from Hero to Zero, but at least he goes up to League 17!

And lastly, for 1 last time, ALL of Last Seasons CHAMPS:

Premier League – Clanlord Carl
Championship – Keefie

League 2 – joshzam
League 3 – Tin Trumpet
League 4 – simplyred60

Season 19 PREVIEW

Plan is to try to get extra sponsorship for next Season (Season 20). Hopefully you Guys can expect a Conquer Credit Prize in every League! WELL OVER 9,000 Games will take place in Season 19. KICK OFF is Thursday the 2nd May (6 Days from today). It takes us that time for Anila8 to Set Up the Tournament Management Platform, Ewebasher to get the Scoreboards prepared for next Season and maybe SoN!c will tinker with his AMAZING Graphics. Over the next 6 Days you will see the League Tables being updated and the fixtures announced on the 'LIVE' Scoreboards'. But last Season will still be there until Sunday anyway.

Then we KICK OFF with Match Day 01, 02 & 03 for every League on Thursday. If you have a fixture in all 3 Match Days you will be faced with 12 Indivivual Games hitting your Invite Box. After that we slow down to 1 Match Up on Monday's and Thursdays which is only 4 Games each. Only way you will not have 12 Games on the KICK OFF is if you are in a smaller League (Leagues 24 & 25 have 9 instead of 10 Players and League 25 has 8 Players), or, you are in a League where a Player is on a Rest Season. I'll explain where to view who will be in your League shortly.

A STAR STUDDED PREMIER LEAGUE for next Season! They have 79 League Titles among them, including 10 PREMIER LEAGUES! The Players and their existing Titles are below. Can Clanlord Carl get BACK2BACK TITLES?, Can Craig25 re-claim his spot at the top of the HoF? Will we have a NEW PREMIER CHAMP? 14 out of the 20 Runners have NEVER won it. It's going to be an interesting Season..............

Keefie 'Up The O's' 3xCha + L3

For Everybody else, to view your League. Go to the 'S19 Set Up' Tab on the LIVE Scoreboards. They can all be viewed there just now until Ewebasher get's round to setting up next Seasons Tables. The Player Rankings were done on Tuesday. NEW PLAYERS are spread across the bottom 3 Leagues and there is a LEAGUE OF DEATH involving the HIGHEST RANKED New Players!

League 24 Average Rank: 1912 Runners: 9
The TOP 5 Ranked New Players all go head to head in this League! 'Buster' Bigsacks come straight from an EARLY KNOCK OUT in the Baltics Survivor Series straight into League action. He comes with a Pre-Season Ranking of 3885! Another 3 NEW PLAYERS have Rankings of 2000+: generalahole, Stegura & EpixDk. 'The Snake' ViperOverLord is not far behind on 1986. They are joined with 4 Journeymen Super League Players: anasazidreamer, paden.rourk, Ertai & MBuzzy. Will it be one of the fancied HIGH RANKS that win it or can one of the Journeymen Players pull off the un-thinkable? It promises to be an excellent lower League. How does it compare in terms of quality? Premier has an AVERAGE RANK of 2403 Spread across 20 Players. Championship has an AVERAGE of 2332 across 10!

Okay TROOPS, I'll let you go and check out those 'LIVE' League Tables, and, GOOD LUCK for the KICK-OFF on Thursday. Anybody has any questions, just ask! Final bit of advice for NEW PLAYERS, just start playing and within 2 weeks of the NEW SEASON starting you will understand everything and be HOOKED!

Have a GREAT WEEKEND!

The 'MIGHTY' Vfl Bochum 1848 (1 of my German Soccer Teams) have a RELEGATION DOG-FIGHT CLASH versus Hoffenheim tonight in the Bundesliga. That's what's KICKING-OFF my weekend. NJOY!

[I AM NATO]

I feel discriminated against. How can you ban the NZ map!

[Craig25]

See the BANNED Maps Tab. Maps lasting on Average over 12 Rounds - Players VOTED to BAN them! Take too long on these settings and the Super League is fast moving!

I feel discriminated against. How can you ban the NZ map!

[LFAW]

Could we put forward a motion to increase the ban round requirement to 13 rounds? It unlocks a few extra maps and will certainly shake up the Super League 'meta' so to speak?

[Craig25]

No, there was an option of Longer Games in the 1st Sep-Poll.

Players took the middle option, 12 Rounds.

[LFAW]

As quoted on your wall: I don't remember this poll. Either way, surely after nearly four months this can be reviewed again and put to a vote?

[LFAW]

Banning a map on rounds is actually a really strange way of doing it when we have 'round limit' in place as a setting. Why not just make every game a 20 round limit and be done with it? If a map keeps going to round limit consider banning it for that reason?

[Craig25]

See Above, Super League Players voted in HUGE Numbers for Maps taking on Average longer than 12 Rounds to be BANNED due to time it takes to play. Lowest C Round Limit is 20 Rounds so that is not an option. The Magic number is 12.

Only exception is you can choose a RANDOM MAP as you HOME Map. As the frequency of RANDOM Maps will still be under 12 Rounds although occaisionally it will throw up something longer.

Banning a map on rounds is actually a really strange way of doing it when we have 'round limit' in place as a setting. Why not just make every game a 20 round limit and be done with it? If a map keeps going to round limit consider banning it for that reason?

[LFAW]

The issue is once a map is banned it remains banned indefinitely because there are fewer examples of that map cropping up to change the percentile.

Feudal war case in point, if we look at super league settings on that map across the entire website instead of the small amount you have in your sample size the round limit drops drastically.

Similarly, how can we ban Trafalgar and not Trafalaxy? They are the same map with different art work…

Not exactly, in Trafalgar the command ships count as 1, on Trafalaxy they count as 2 ships.. that's a very big difference if your going for 5 spanish ships in the weather or 5 Lynx alliace in chrononout.. it's also the reason why Trafalaxy is way faster then Trafalgar

[LFAW]

The thing that makes those maps long and daunting for newer players are the fort and attack routes. Not the bonuses. If we played SL settings on Trafalaxy and Trafalgar do you really believe there would be a significant round difference? No. If the only thing we wanted to change was game length you’d remove adjacent forts but let’s not go down that rabbit hole.

There should be an overview of maps that are banned. Or at least the ones close to 12. I know Craig isn’t keen on votes to challenge his ego but attracting more players should be the goal no?
