Warrior General Games

Very interesting shake up this week. I like how it looks, as it pits the #1 and #2 teams in the rankings against each other...how much more implication can a GotW have!

btw Saw, take a look at your write up for WCB..you put "was" in there and i assume you meant "wasn't"

Thanks for your hard work and effort, as always it is appreciated!

Just cuz it confuses me...how is our SoS so weak when we have played and beaten 4 of the top 8 teams in our conference? Im not questioning it so much as i am trying to understand how it gets to that conclusion.

Don't forget you've also faced...

1-10 Nashville
1-10 Palermo
1-10 Athens
0-11 Rostov
3-8 Elancourt

... balancing out those top four teams.

Hell yeah, the Pirates make our top 10 debut. I hope we don't fall on our face now.

Stat padding games?!?!! I want one

Aye and so has SGA(still havent faced the piggies but have faced samara) and a few others. I figured we had a fairly middle of the road SoS....just shocked me to see it at 32nd

Im assuming SGA's SoS is somewhere near ours?

We are immune to weak schedules, and as such they dont matter in our power ranking!

Jump is right, sorry rules are rules

Which doesn't say much for the Zeta conference top teams

Guess what, after the next 3 games everyone will have played,
1-10 Nashville
1-10 Palermo
1-10 Athens
0-11 Rostov
3-8 Elancourt
so it will all even itself out.

SoS (the whole thing, not SoS4) is a straw stat. The only difference in schedules is who a team faces from the other conference. SoS4 is a much stronger indicator of a team because everyone has a different 'last 4 played'.

Right. I'd dream for that in my Alpha schedule

EDIT: We all had....three "easy" games this year where the teams levels were vastly lower than the rest of the league? Every other game is 12+?

Yeah dont get me wrong, i wasnt putting any significant implication on SoS by asking about it, it just shocked me to see us at 32nd.

Dont act like you dont have similar teams in alpha...you guys get to play gimme games just like we do.

Uhh

our worst teams are still 10+ and all very active human owners.

There is a very different skill/level difference between our worst teams and Zeta's...
