This was an exciting week of play in the WGLNA World of Tanks Gold League as there were some huge upsets at the top of the leaderboard. Also, there are three teams who have entered dangerous territory in the standings with only one more week of play left in the first round robin. ECLIPSE VS AQUATIC M60S



With Aquatic M60s rising through the rankings, it was not a surprise that this match ended up being close, but it was a huge surprise when the final results were in. Aquatic M60s won the match with a 5-3 finish beating the previous season’s champions. Aquatic M60s remains the only team to complete the impressive feat of defeating Eclipse without going into overtime.

HI! VS RIVAL



In a big upset, Hi! defeated Rival soundly with a 5-2 scoreline. Rival have been slipping into relegation territory lately with losses to Cible Détrutite and Apex putting them at a three match loss streak. This win was huge for Hi! as they now have a better chance of saving themselves from relegation, but both Rival and Hi! need more points to secure their spot in the league.

CIBLE DÉTRUITE VS GET FLANKED



This was an important match for both teams who were sitting in the bottom third of the rankings on Tuesday night. Unfortunately for Get Flanked, Cible Détruite emerged victorious with a score of 5-1, which left Get Flanked solidly in last place. Get Flanked will get a free win on Thursday vs. HWC, but will then need to beat either Hi! or Apex the following week to avoid relegation.

RIVAL VS ECLIPSE



In this lopsided matchup, one of the best teams in the league took on Rival, who have been struggling lately after losing three matches in a row. This match was no different. Rival were soundly defeated 5-0 by Eclipse. Rival will look to o7 and Deja Vu next week to break their now four match loss streak.

O7 GAMING VS HI!



Hi! came into this needing another win and they pulled it together to defeat o7 quite decisively with a 5-2 scoreline. Hi! have been looking strong lately with back-to-back victories, but they still need to find a win vs. Deja Vu next week or their entire season could come down to a match against Get Flanked on the last night of the round robin next thursday.

DEJA VU VS APEX



With a few weeks of play under their belt, Deja Vu seem to be coming into their own on a streak remarkably similar to Eclipse’s rise to power last season. Deja Vu took Apex to overtime with a 5-4 Apex victory that was much closer than anyone foresaw. Deja Vu could add two more wins to their repertoire next week vs. the slightly easier targets of Hi! and Rival.

COMING UP - DO OR DIE FOR TWO TEAMS



Get Flanked and Rival are in the hotseat as we go into the final week of the first round robin. One of these two teams will most likely get dropped from the league as the ninth place team next week unless both of them pull up big wins. The last chance matches for these teams are o7 vs. Rival on Tuesday and Hi! vs Get Flanked on Thursday.



Rival is going to regret their loss to Get Flanked earlier in the season because now they will lose any head to head tiebreaker. The best case scenario for Rival is a victory on Tuesday vs. o7 and then Get Flanked losing against Hi! on Thursday, because if both teams win or both teams lose, it would tie up the teams and result in Rival losing the head to head if they remain in last place. o7 and Hi! are still in the danger zone as well if Get Flanked and Rival can both win a match or even get a point in overtime. Cible Détruite is probably safe since they will get a free win vs HWC.
