State of the League
Onto round 6 of Season 8. "Overworked and Underpromoted" are still undefeated! Will we have a perfect team? They have a commanding 3 match point lead at this point. With "The French Connexion" finally scoring a draw last round, there are no more teams with 0 match points! For the teams in the bottom half of the standings. It can often be discouraging as we near the end of the season. However, the point of being part of a team is not to win together. Rather you are there to support each other win or lose, to help, teach, learn from and cheer for your teammates. Best of luck in the final 3 weeks.
The mods have opened up nominations for the best games of season 8. We are still unsure if there will be a youtube review, but please nominate great games nonetheless (if no youtube review we might do something else!). Be sure to submit your nominations by sending @chesster a Direct Message with, nomination 45 to get a link where you can enter your nominations.
As Lonewolf season 7 comes to a close, let the Lonewolf mods know how it went and what you want to see for next season! https://lakinwecker.typeform.com/to/sYv2Bn
