[CCL - S1] League Stage - Week 4

[Tardet]

Spoiler

The third week provided both players and viewers with intense match-ups and some rather unexpected results.

The match opposing the 11e to the 16e was expected to be rather one-sided but once again, 16e continue on their good trend and surprised many people as they secured the defensive bonus at the end of the match, despite a strong start from the 11e.
For Lindblom's men, the issues they had against the 5e seem to have translated into that match, to a lesser extent. They managed to gain 4 important points but it was the least expected from them and they certainly missed a good occasion to improve their round-difference. Things are not worrying for the 11e just yet but matches like this one reflect potential deeper issues, which will required quick fixes if the 11e intends to continue being a strong competitor in the CCL.

For the second of last week, the 1erRC didn't shake and went for a large victory against the 2Lr. It was expected that the German regiment would struggle against the powerful heavy line-up, nonetheless, picking-up two rounds against them isn't necessarily a bad result and a slight improvement in regards to their past matches this competition. It definitely is a good operation for the 1eRC, as it will significantly improve their rankings in the league table and serve as a good motivational boost for future encounters.

If the 16e picking-up 4 rounds against the 11e was certainly an unexpected result on its own right, it went rather unnoticed due to a way bigger upsets caused by the Nr4 which had to face their German counterpart from the Nr6. If this match had the potential to be a tense battle with some close rounds, the Nr6 was still coming in as the heavy favourite and not many could have imagined the Nr4 taking-up such a large victory against one of strongest contender for the CCL title, 9-1.
A come-back never appeared like a likely possibility for the Nr6 and after two complicated matches where they had shown lots of potential but couldn't prevent the come-back from their opponents, the Nr4 truly showed what they were capable of. In a similar fashion to the 5e which defeat the 11e in the previous week, this match truly established Felix and his men as true contenders for the title and would they manage to reiterate similar performance later on, they could quickly become one of the deadliest force to contend with in this competition. For the Nr6, the ship isn't isn't sinking just yet. Sure, such a large defeat against an arguably weaker opponent comes at a rather unfortunate moment, as it was the first real test for them in the CCL. But the Nr6 has lots of resources and is definitely capable to bounce back from this counter-performance, as it was shown by them in the past.

Pretty much at the same time all these three matches were played, another clash was happening between the 4e and the 5e. This Classico had all the signals to be one hell of a battle and it surely didn't disappoint. Both regiments kept trading rounds back and forth and it was hard to see which one would come on top. Skittle's 1v4 clutch certainly was a turning point as it prevented the 5e to take the upper-hand, but quickly after, the Frenchmen answered with an instrumental 4v7. Taking the lead 5-4, the 5e had the perfect occasion to conclude that match but it was without counting on the 4e's experience when it comes to these difficult situations. As the francophone regiment seemed to run out of steam in the late stage of his match, the 4e had no problem whatsoever closing that match, securing the draw and keeping their undefeated streak against their oldest rival. The 5e can certainly share some regrets as they could almost smell the victory in this match but they missed the very final touch and against an opponent which excels in these sort of high-pressure scenarios, this 5-5 feels like a rather logical result, while also confirming the good form both these regiments have been having lately.

16e proving once more why you can't take them lightly. You underestimate them, you lose a round. You take things easy in another one, they grind their way back into it. Despite the 9-1, many rounds were close and forced us to fully focus for the entire duration of that match.

Thanks for the good fights and good luck for the rest of the competition, looking forward to our rematch.
