My goal is to get a .500 record in the last two series' before the midway point. So far, so good. Also, the fact that I just beat #2 overall is pretty cool.

Says so in the OP, under OOC. What I posted was a quote, but it's a lot of effort to actually quote it on mobile.

No. It doesn't. Are you sure you're not looking at last WBC's Everything thread? Because it does say it there. Because it was true then.

My cutoffs will be between 22:00 and midnight Japan Standard Time (UTC +9). My first cutoff will be on Saturday, August 30 (so, in just over forty-six and a half hours).

Good luck.

Winless, set by many. You're safe.

Also, to all interested parties - the Llamanean Baseball League is opening its doors to foreigners. If you'd like to send your guys to my league, please TG me name, age, and position, and I'll sim an International Draft. Thanks!

Just a heads up that both hosts have IC info up, and venues for the Round of 24 have been determined. See the MD10 results post for details.

Same issue with me come to think of it. I may avoid CTE, but I doubt I'll be a regular competitor for the next year and a half to two years.

Well, I guess it wouldn't be a real championship if I didn't have to beat Nova Anglicana on the way...

Honestly, Nova Anglicana's RP bonus should narrow the gap since I haven't been RPing a lot in the past few days. Good luck to the other seven teams in the QFs!
