Alliance Championship:
​
EVERYONE: When registering, PLEASE ONLY register for MIDDLE LANE ONLY. I have my reasons as follows: It is widely believed that if all participants register to only one lane, only the top 20 participants' power counts when making "fair" matchups. This results in getting weaker opponents, a better chance of winning, and better rewards. It may seem counterintuitive, that it would be better to balance each lane, but as R5, I can distribute everyone in the middle lane to appropriate lanes during competition to increase our chances of winning.
​
FIRST MATCH NOTE: For our first matches moving forward, we should make the left lane strongest, middle lane next strongest, and right lane least strong. The theory is that, especially at these lower tiers, our opponents might take the "lazy" approach of filling their lanes from left to right. Had I put our right lane as our left lane and our left lane as our right lane, we would have won, because we were literally one player short of victory which cost us 3 points, and I had the right lane stronger than the left lane. I'll count this loss as my loss, sorry all, but learning and this mistake will not be made again.​
​
EXPLANATION OF EVENT: The best way I can put it is this event is a mix of chess and paper-rock-scissors. The chess is being moves ahead of our opponents, but the paper-rock-scissors is that there is some randomness to our matches. For example, in paper-rock-scissors, if you know your opponent would never do rock or paper or scissors back-to-back, you could use that information to beat your opponent on average. Same thing here; if our opponent does random things from event to event, we can only control our side of the equation, but if we can figure out what our opponent might do, we get the advantage as we can counteract.

Much like we were one person away from winning our first match, we were one person away from losing our second match. Got the much needed win. Time to prep for match 3!

Schedule: NBV (lost), QcF (won), FrR (must win, power = 672441928), GLD (10:20:8 split match 1 & 2, we can exploit this. Nothing known about right lane match 1 & 2. Left lane must be significantly stronger), YJW (must win, power = 798878187)
