Three semifinalists from one group, has that ever happened in the BOF? Well played all around to everyone.

But of course, as I told Banija on TG, I've almost gotten to the point where I expect to make the finals now. LOL I'm going to be crushed if I don't qualify for the WC proper. Or get bundled out in the group stage. I might need therapy. :)

I’ve done like 5 world cups, I’m ranked #65 and I RP, but I still haven’t qualified yet, so don’t get your hopes up lol

WC 80 Start Date?

Postby 95X » Fri Apr 13, 2018 1:41 pm

Well, since the BOF has concluded, someone's going to ask eventually, it may as well be me.
Is there a timeline on WC 80 IC threads going up, and a general idea of when MD 1 of the qualifying round might be? Just asking for personal scheduling reasons.

If you plan on bidding for the Cup of Harmony, it would behoove you to act maturely so people (aka, voters) think you could handle it, and not make the post you made in another thread, that led to a moderator response.
