Since EE FFA opened.

NBK/IMP/DK beat AoDT/SYN

TKO beat IMP last set.

IMP beat Focus.

And it looks like this set Semper Fi is beating NBK.


Edit: I think Pan/Focus also beat NBK if I remember correctly.

yeah pan/focus beat us when we FSed and last set NBK beat TKO after they FSed but they are a bunch of tree hugging hippies so I am not sure if that counts or not.

As proud as we are of that victory in PAN, NBK did make that a very difficult war on themselves. I don't remember exact numbers, but PAN was roughly equal in NW to NBK at the beginning of the war even without FoCuS and with FoCuS on our side, we had I'm thinking about a 120 or so country advantage.

It was a very honorable thing for NBK to at least challenge themselves instead of just kicking our asses like they did two sets earlier when they fought us 1 on 1 and crushed us.

So if that and the TKO v. NBK wars are the only outliers concerning the importance of the FS until now, then it's certainly not evidence that the FS isn't a dramatic advantage.

if numbers are anywhere close then the tag with the FS should always win but thats not necessarily a bad thing is it? I think it makes the politics a little more interesting cause it forces you to actually think about what is going on and stay alert for tags that may be FSing. Maybe a little tweaking could be done but I don't think any drastic changes are necessary.
