not sure whats going on with the cup draw, but colombia (their games are 30 mins before ours) hasnt been drawn yet. looks like all the countries that play an hour before us have been drawn.

I guess I am part of that 1%.....I recognize that to stay up a couple of weeks ago was going to be tough to stay up so I needed to win and extra game or two here or there, it started with me normaling against KDB, I lost and things have not worked out so I decided to sell my big guys and bank some cash and continue trainings (which is what really sucks about Salpigkids being out for 4 weeks). So I figure against the Contortionsist I would CT as it was probably my last chance to win a game this season and although maybe I will get a lucky draw on thursday...still have not seen it yet. But as I said before, winning brings in an extra $50K which I can probalby through away in Drafting (LOL). Good luck to you all who are left ....and if you are fortunate enough to draw me well you know what to expect....

yeah ok, my mistake. forgot exactly what that older discussion was about.

As for the cachet thing, it may be true, but there is a kind of lack of perspective in thinking you're getting bragging rights by beating a team that would beat you if their lineup choices weren't constrained by the long-view...

it's not bragging rights exactly... but c'mon you know a lot of people would find it pretty cool to say they knocked the #1 (#8 world!) team out of the cup. under any circumstances. (maybe cool isn't the right word, but hopefully you get what i mean.) Of course they don't think they're better than you. It's more along the lines of being a spoiler.

Think of it like this:
It's *not* bragging rights *over* you, rather it's a sort of bragging rights in simply *being* the ones to have beaten & eliminated you.

To be honest, I didn't really look into whoever LMA got beat by.

Ok maybe 99% was extreme. There are a few cases where it makes sense. Just mean that under normal circumstances it doesn't seem to be a good idea to CT at this late in the cup. (Even assuming a win, which is hardly a given & dependent on the other team not taking them very serious). Plus think of the league consequences, financial consequences (losing streak), etc.
(Or maybe I'm wrong, idk.)

btw, UK might be at like 3 enthusiasm by Saturday! (at 5 or lower for Thurs. cup game. Forced to CT again?)

Now you going all out at the cup is actually a smart move! So you're part of the privileged 1% haha.
Of course were you in the Big 8 it never would have come to this. This season was a perfect storm (in a bad way...)

I'm pretty certain that you can, assuming you play at least a B+ team

anyone ever seen a player get a +1 injury and come back in less than a week (in this case, only 5 days)?

i thought injuries were always a min of the number of weeks injured plus a random number of days into the next week.
