Season 168 is nearly at the finish line, and
Powing Cows
still have company at the top. Most teams have just one or two league games left, with the last fixtures tomorrow and the season ending on Friday.
Here is where the races stood on Tuesday morning, 22 September.
Division 1:
Powing Cows
lead,
Shinhan Gaming
have a game in hand
Powing Cows
lead at 15–2, with
Shinhan Gaming
close behind at 14–2.
Shinhan Gaming
face
INT INC
today and
Trust Gaming
tomorrow.
Powing Cows
finish against
Meet The Stars
.
The leaders lost to
Shinhan Gaming
on Saturday and
5 Ronin
yesterday, then beat
cheryn
this morning.
Powing Cows
still have the highest ELO in the league, but those results show the gap can be closed. They and
Shinhan Gaming
split their two meetings this season.
| Team | Wins | Losses | ELO |

|
14 | 2 | 4,042 |

|

|

5 Ronin
finish strongly
5 Ronin
have won all seven of their league games over the past week, including yesterday's win over
Powing Cows
. They face
Good Game
today, with the two teams third and fourth at 12–4 and 11–5.
Trust Gaming
and
INT INC
complete the top six.
Meet The Stars
,
Sfogliatella
,
Kingpins
and
cheryn
can no longer close the gap, although their order within the bottom four can still change.
Division 2: two unbeaten leaders
Teviathan and AceGaming are both 17–0 and have secured first place in leagues #1 and #2. One match remains for each: Teviathan face ISNELF , while AceGaming play Rat Attack .
Their ELOs are 2,524 and 2,436. Forfeits account for five of Teviathan 's seven wins over the past week and four of AceGaming 's, so the unbeaten records alone don't tell us how they will compare with stronger opposition.
Waterbear GG [AI]
and
Karmine Gold
meet level on wins
League #3 has
Waterbear GG [AI]
and
Karmine Gold
on 10–6.
Waterbear GG [AI]
are ahead on ELO, 1,369 to 1,321, and the two meet today.
Heaven and Earth
remain close at 10–7 after losing to
MC Young Money [AI]
this morning.
GoonSquad
beat
Scooters [AI]
, while
MobaManager GG
beat
Nova Runa [AI]
. With several new teams settling in, these played matches are more useful to follow than the inherited league records.
League #4 is close too:
Midlander [AI]
lead at 9–7,
Gogogo Team [AI]
are 9–8, and five teams sit on 8–8.
Diomedea [AI]
face
Midlander [AI]
today.
New teams inherit their league slot's record. MobaManager Bot [AI] started on 8–8; those were not sixteen matches played by its new manager.
Roughly three quarters of Division 2's completed fixtures over the past week were forfeits. Division 1 had just one in 34 fixtures. That makes the remaining matches worth watching, particularly
Shinhan Gaming
's title challenge and the meeting between
Waterbear GG [AI]
and
Karmine Gold
.
