State of the 4545 League

by @kostasvl

There are 2 rounds left for the team league to end and there are two teams in first place, "Lichess Lovers" and "Stop googling! Zher0 chance Erin is a girl, okei?!" (Thank you copy-paste). These teams are paired together. Will we have one leader after the 7th round, or will things get even more complicated? "More Zero Than Alpha" follows with 9 points, 1 point behind the leaders and there are 5 teams with 8 match points trying to climb into the top places. This week there will also be a titled game. NM ChristopherChabris will face IM lovlas on Friday 20:30 (Unless they reschedule the game).

The 2nd season of the blindfold league starts on Monday. You can find more information about the blindfold league in the #blindfold channel. If you want to register for the next season click here. Also the Blindfold Cup #1 ended with @Badplayer_CM winning the final against @shakaali with a score of 2.5-0.5. Congrats to both players and to @david252525 for winning the 3rd place.
