Rank Decision

05.02.2021 10:00
(EEST, Helsinki, Finland)

Rank Decision didn't quite go accordingly to our plan as we were left out of the Top 16 and now have to go on the Weekly Survival #1 waiting list.

Rank Decision Day 1

Our Rank Decision Day 1 was not about ruthless aggression; instead, it focused more on smart positioning and rotations. Luckily, the circles worked well in favor of our plans.

Consistent performance throughout the day nets us 12 kills, 25 total points, and a shared 12th place in the current Rank Decision standings.

Flashy results and Chicken dinners are exciting and look good on the board. Still, this calm and calculated consistency might be the key to ensuring our Top 16 standing from the Rank Decision weekend. With that, we would earn our spot in the starting squad of the 1st Weekly Survival.

Rank Decision Day 2

Including both really good and really bad games, and an awfully long technical pause, Rank Decision Day 2 was quite a rollercoaster.

Both the first and last game of the day featured an early exit for our squad which ended up hindering our point growth. However, some crucially strong (and sneaky) performances in the two other games made sure we barely stay in the Top 16 of the overall rankings.

Depending on how the other teams do tomorrow, we will need to aim for 20 — or more —  points in order to make sure we stay in the upper half of the teams and secure a starting slot in the Weekly Survival. Nevertheless, even if the main goal is not achieved, decent performance tomorrow should allow us to gain a good waiting list seeding.

Rank Decision Day 3

We, unfortunately, fumbled our Rank Decision Day 3 point gain goals. This left us in a rough spot of being completely at the mercy of the remaining groups.

Now after all of the day's games have been played, our final Rank Decision standing is 24th, meaning that we won’t be part of the starting teams in the Weekly Survival. Instead, we are the 8th team on the waiting list and will continue our games in the latter part of Tuesday. We’ll have to show our hunger as we have only eight chances to claim a Winner Winner Chicken Dinner and our spot in the Weekly Finals.

Regardless, we have to remember that this is a multi-week tournament so we will have plenty of time to prove ourselves!
