The 2020 Deathlist Cup

Recommended Posts

So with the help of another person who shall remain anonymous unless their named, turns out it does look like Rhora has an actual newspaper article despite being behind paywall. So now Jiroemon has a large 11 point advantage against Chorizo, which has never been made up before. Could chorizo be the first to make the margin up? Only time will tell, but in the meantime, let’s enjoy some apples and pumpkins, shall we? Or an appleumpkin. Whatever that is.

 

  1. DeathByArsenic vs An Fear Bag 4 - 6

  2. JiroemonKimura vs Chorizo 14 - 3

  3. Clorox  vs Grim 6 - 0 

  4. Death Impends vs msc 10 - 6

Might not be Checkmate yet but it's certainly Check.

 

I could do with Peter Tobin taking one for the team, and universe, here.

Medal of honor recipient Ronald J Shurer has sadly died after a long lung cancer battle. It gives a bit of an advantage for 2 members and begins a comeback for another. For the comeback, Chorizo reduces his margin of loss to only 8 points, hoping to be the first person to make a 10+ point comeback. But will that happen? We'll see. Elsewhere, clorox has a 9 point lead against Grim and is looking to make his second semifinals appearance in a row. Finally, Death Impends continues his relaxed approach, showing that the relaxed strategy may be much better than doing deep research. It also is a success for Death Impends after he lost due to his one of his own off radar picks scoring against him. As for msc, a comeback is plausible, although it's slowly becoming unlikely...

 

  1. DeathByArsenic vs An Fear Bag 4 - 6

  2. JiroemonKimura vs Chorizo 14 - 6

  3. Clorox  vs Grim 9 - 0 

  4. Death Impends vs msc 13 - 6

So it does. A former underworld don, he made his last back room deal today, this time with the Grim Reaper to take his life. An Fear Beag gets the unique, and is now up 6 points against the mysterious DeathByArsenic, and is more likely than not to be rookie of the year this time...

 

  1. DeathByArsenic vs An Fear Bag 4 - 10

  2. JiroemonKimura vs Chorizo 14 - 6

  3. Clorox vs Grim 9 - 0 

  4. Death Impends vs msc 13 - 6

Saves me from the dreaded bagel but doesn't improve my dire position in the tie - the high school Athletics Coach hasn't even dropped in the hole yet so it's even worse than it looks.

Popular pick Michael Ziegler makes a score for almost every single team. Two people are exception. With a 9 point lead against DeathByArsenic, it looks like An Fear Beag is a solid bet to make it to the semifinals. In a bit of more shocking news, Chorizo has reduced Jiroemon’s lead down to only 5 points, showing that it might be possible to make the first 10+ point comeback. Though with the month halfway done, it is ticking...

 

  1. DeathByArsenic vs An Fear Bag 4 - 13

  2. JiroemonKimura vs Chorizo 14 - 9

  3. Clorox vs Grim 12 - 3

  4. Death Impends vs msc 16 - 9

Alright, there’s now evidence that Sam Lloyd died on the 30th, and as such his points has been rescinded from the two pickers. Fortunately, both of them did provide subs for there teams, and it is changed as followed:

Msc now has Willie K on his team 

 

 

In a further continuation of the Windy City loss to Clorox, Sam Lloyd's death also cost me a Willie K unique here which would have dragged me one point closer. (As I just pinched him I probably didn't deserve the unique anyway and it could be said I pinched the unique off msc who it might have been more useful to).

Willie K has strummed his last instrument, and as such he scores points for two people in this round. Originally it was a unique for Grim, who would’ve gotten 4 points in this round... had Sam Lloyd not died on April 30. As such, msc also had Willie K on his team, and the two of the begins their comebacks against Clorox and Death Impends for May*...
 

  1. DeathByArsenic vs An Fear Bag 4 - 13

  2. JiroemonKimura vs Chorizo 14 - 9

  3. Clorox vs Grim 12 - 6

  4. Death Impends vs msc 16 - 12

*success of comeback depends on how many folk die on their teams

Mauricio Hanuch dead at 43, which seems to be a considerably old age for a footballer.

Hanuch’s death likely seal the deal for two matches then. An Fear Beag now have a 12 point lead against DeathByArsenic, putting an end to the wonder run by the latter. Meanwhile, Chorizo was 5 points away from beating Jiroemon, with two hits potentially getting him the leas. However, Hanuch extends Jiroemon’s lead by 3 points, making it quite difficult for Chorizo to make a comeback. There’s still 5 days or so to make a potential comeback, but time is running out...

EDIT: turns out Stanley Ho was picked in the cup too. It’s gives DeathByArsenic 4 points to try to make a comeback, but it isn’t enough. Though his run will always be immortalized, that’s for sure...

 

  1. DeathByArsenic vs An Fear Bag 8 - 16

  2. JiroemonKimura vs Chorizo 17 - 9

  3. Clorox vs Grim 12 - 6

  4. Death Impends vs msc 16 - 12

I think the semifinals matches are basically set in stone at this point given all four semifinalists has pretty sizable leads against their opponents. One thing of note though. If either msc or Death Impends gets another nonunique  hit in the next few days, the points combined between them will equal my and Banana’s match in March 2019 (37 shared between us), and a unique or a second hit in that tie means a new record in one tie in a month... 

 

  1. DeathByArsenic vs An Fear Bag 8 - 16

  2. JiroemonKimura vs Chorizo 17 - 9

  3. Clorox vs Grim 15 - 6

  4. Death Impends vs msc 22 - 12

Good game msc. June team is in. Jiroemon seems the one to beat this Cup, so I don't doubt June will be less fatal for him than it was for the other Jiroemon Kimura, but I'm giving it a go nevertheless.

I feel a bit like Billy in Predator when he goes one on one with the Predator to try and save the others. Respected by the foe but still dead as a doornail! :lol:

Hmmm - some mind games going on there I think. You are fooling no-one DI - don't try playing the underdog !

 

Anyhow, the semi-final team is in. Assuming there is no last hour dramatics, well played Deathbyarsenic and thanks for the good match.

Nah, playing it straight ;) Jiroemon's foreign language research is a unique DPing edge that can't really be used for many pools but seems to be shining here.
