Ok, all group standings have now been posted on page one. Let's look at some highlights from the first third of group play!
Western Group Highlights:
This group so far appears to be the widest open of the three with no single player taking a commanding lead. After being the first player to win a game in our tourney, fairman has been kept off the board since then. We should note however that of the seven remaining games in this group, he is involved in all of them so that fact is sure to change. This group is the only one in which all members kept to the strict code of silence, so let's give them a very quiet hand for that!
Eastern Group Highlights:
This group has been all swimmerdude99 all the time! The "mouth of the south" not only has a commanding lead in the wins department, but must be feeling so confident he even broke his vow of silence to wish his desperate competitors a 'good luck'. We'll be watching him expectantly both to see if he can add to his win total and to see what slips out of his mouth next! On the other end of the spectrum, harvmax has yet to put any points on the board. Hang in there buddy--there are still two more maps to go and Hong Kong can be a cruel mistress!
Central Group Highlights
This group seems to have coalesced into clear front, middle, and back runners. Muzzel and neanderpaul14 both lead the way with 5 wins a piece while Vaicius and myself are a bit behind with 3 wins each. nibotha has a single win but gave everyone a chuckle when he wished us all a 'have fun' and machrs hasn't won a game yet but is still looking strong by finishing second in an amazing 8 out of 10 games he's played! Could he be on his way to winning this tournament without actually winning a single game? Time will tell so stay tuned folks (silently of course)!
The next maps for each group will be sent out later this week. Good luck in all remaining games!
