Season 6 Schedule

Hello,

Time to announce the schedule for Season 6. Here's the order of play for this coming weekend.

• Friday, Feb 11: Consolation Cup, Round of 16, Leg 1
• Saturday, Feb 12: Champions League Group Phase, Match Day 1
• Sunday, Feb 13: Champions League Group Phase, Match Day 2
• Sunday, Feb 13: Consolation Cup, Round of 16, Leg 2
• Monday, Feb 14: Champions League Group Phase, Match Day 3

Full schedule, all the way to the Finals, is further down. But first, I'd like to introduce the Participants.

Champions League Roster

Group A

Meet the Players

• @merthin - the Defending Champion; won an epic Final of Season 5
• @cezary-io played in all editions of Champions League so far
• @flaxz is another veteran; he represents our Sponsor, @aliveprojects
• @practicaleric - his best result is Runner-Up in Consolation Cup

Predictions

disclaimer: I am not biased against / for anyone. Just looking at past performance. In all sports I watch, I always enjoy when a "Sheriff Tiraspol" beats a "Real Madrid" (if you follow football, this happened in UEFA Champions League last fall). Wish good luck to everyone and specially to "underdogs"

Judging by #MaCfiT Ranking Table, group A is the strongest - the lowest ranked is #12. @merthin has always advanced from the group phase and he's going to do it again. @practicaleric has the Sun on his side and will upset the northerners as they struggle with moody winter weather in Europe. Therefore @cezary-io and @flaxz will battle for the 3rd place (which means transfer to Consolation Cup quarterfinals). This said, none of the players will finish with 6 wins and all will gain some points.

Group Schedule

Match Day 1 - Saturday, Feb 12:
@marthin vs @practicaleric
@cezary-io vs @flaxz

Group B

Meet the Players

• @grecki-bazar-ewy - the winner of Consolation Cup in previous season
• @matthew1 is a novice in Champions League and in my opinion, a player to watch
• @ptaku has one Champions League cup in his closet (Season 4)
  @aliveprojects
• @pjansen - represents our main Sponsor, @actifit

Predictions

@pjansen is very regular with ~15k steps daily. Unfortunately, this is not going to be enough for this group and he will come last, perhaps with one win. My bet is that @grecki-bazar-ewy will top the group and the newcomer, @matthew1 will surprise everyone and finish second, leaving Consolation Cup for @ptaku

Group Schedule

Match Day 1 - Saturday, Feb 12:
@grecki-bazar-ewy vs @pjansen
@matthew1 vs @ptaku

Group C

Meet the Players

• @bucipuci is winner of the latest @poliac League One
• @browery - 3 times in the semifinals of Champions League; Runner-Up of Season 5
• @cryptospa plays his second season
• @mariya36 reached the Final of season 3

Predictions

@bucipuci and @browery will fight epic battles (expect scores of 40-50!) but the latter will come victorious. @cryptospa and @mariya36 will try their best to snatch point from the two Titans, but in the end they will play for the 3rd place

Group Schedule

Match Day 1 - Saturday, Feb 12:
@bucipuci vs @mariya36
@browery vs @cryptospa

Standings

Group D

Meet the Players

• @manuvert is the All Times Star of the game. Two titles and twice runner-up
• @masoom is a veteran who always advances to the quarterfinals
• @ziabutt3836 - a newcomer and a player to watch
• @sk1920 is always close to the top, but never close enough

Predictions

The other groups are dominated by Europeans. In this group, the only representative of Europe, @sk1920 will finish last. Ranking suggests that @manuvert and @masoom should take the top two places. However, looking at @ziabutt3836 's results in the Eliminations, he will be a die hard contender

Group Schedule

Match Day 1 - Saturday, Feb 12:
@manuvert vs @sk1920
@masoom vs @ziabutt3836

Consolation Cup Roster

A lot of newcomers, so hard to say who's hot and who's not. @venan and @ilodz24hd might be a bit upset, as they always aim at Champions League. But both have Consolation Cup titles so they might aim for another one.

The participants will play two rounds (with two matches in each). When there are only four left, four players who finish 3rd in Champions League group phase, will join them to form quarterfinals pairs.
