Yeah. Because PL and Rote Kapelle are within 100 points of RvB, lots of interesting things can happen, but most of those just switch out whether Rote and PL advance to elimination. The only likely ways that RvB will get knocked out of the group are that either they throw their match to PL, and Rote wins theirs, or PL roflstomps RvB - and, again, Rote wins their match.

Even though KIWF cannot advance to elimination, they have the chance to keep Rote Kapelle out of the elimination round.

I'm seriously rooting for RvB.. I hope they and RK win.. so PL gets eliminated.

I have friends in both RvB and PL so I'm hard pressed to choose a winner for this match. However, putting my personal interest for Rote Kapelle aside and trying to be unbiased, in the end I think RvB has come way further as the underdog than anyone thought they would so I'll be rooting for them.

Either way I think it's going to be one hell of a match. Good luck to both.

I depends on how the tiebreaker is calculated. There is some confusion about the rules

I Raivi is correct it is a mess if both Rote and PL wins their match because they are all on the same points and have all beaten and lost to eachother. It would though make sense to use win/loss/draw as a tiebreaker if two teams end up with the same points.

From the tournament rules:

Group Stage

These 32 teams will be divided, at random, into 8 groups of 4 teams.Within each group, teams will fight "round robin" to determine the top two teams in each bracket. (Round robin means that each team in the group will fight each other team in the group once).Team rankings will be determined by Win/Loss/Draw and then by total points scored.

No offense claire but I want PL and RvB to make it through :3

Either way, no matter what happens 2 really stellar teams are going to advance, and the elimination stages are going to be awesome. ATX is really starting to look like one of the best ATs in history.

None taken. I feel the same way, only it being Rote Kapelle and RvB advancing, with PL sitting on the sidelines. :)

RVB has been one of my teams I root for, for years, so I'm extremely excited.

As for RVB v PL, I want a slobberknocker, I like 'em both so I don't care who wins.. just blow **** up.

Oddly enough, Rote Kapelle is actually in a better position than RvB, assuming they bribe KIWF or KIWF simply decides not to compete. If CCP lets them get away with it (and that's a big assumption), there's nothing stopping them from only bringing 50 points and then bribing KIWF to throw the match. That'll pretty much guarantee they go through.

Of course, there's also the possibility that PL will counter-bribe KIWF, or that RK isn't willing to risk ticking off CCP with an obviously thrown match.

I can only speak for myself, but I may speak for every single member of Rote when I say that if KIWF doesn't bring everything, and the kitchen sink, in a 'blaze of glory', awesome fight. I will be ******* sad.

Looking forward to a great fight with them.

Yes they are the real deal. Greta pilots with great fc's, they will win it all. I repeat THEY WILL WIN IT ALL!

Anyone going up against them has absolutely no chance, they shouldn't even show up. That's how good they are. They can win

without even logging in. So if your in the tourny just quit now. Don't bother with practice , don't even log in for the tourny, you lost

already.

The above might be overstating it a bit, but RvB have proved they are no joke. Luck or not in the Rote match, their setup would likely have won regardless of the rote (many) boundary violations.

In any case, I now have money on a RvB win over PL, don't disappoint!
