The top three are all still level with one game to go. I play MMRs Pigs tonight.
Good luck all.
Luck?
Arguably my most important match of the season and despite my best scorer suffering five big injuries during the season, I was still hanging in there as title favourite. So I studied it all and checked everything --- and rechecked. I was sober and not over-tired. I even asked Lynne to have a quick look and she checked and gave it the thumbs up before I logged off. And, apparently, I then substituted my LB with a RB and lost 1-6.
I won our first league match (reasonably? comfortably;-)) and knew I had to win this. I know I could have lost it (or even drawn and let the Whisperers in) and I could have coped with that but as god is my witness, nothing will ever convince me that when I logged off last night my team and tactics weren't all set up as perfectly as I could have managed. And it was witnessed by an experienced and useful SL manager.
"
No right of appeal (I doubt I'd win one anyway, I've heard enough sour grapes in the past and it's only ever manager error" and bugs don't exist an I just shrug and move on) so that's what I'll do in this case. It's a game, it's one season and it's not like it was a chance at my first title (or, hopefully will be the last chance I get) but something went wrong last night and if it's happened to me it could happen to others (or to me again) and I will never again ever play a "big" match without taking a screenshot of the details.
And congratulations to Nijinsky --- regardless, he is a worthy champion.
