Results for July 7:

One of the biggest surprises of these results are Meridell’s victory against the Haunted Woods. Meridell successfully avoid falling out of the contest, and make Haunted Woods need to try even harder in the coming days. The other surprise is Mystery Island’s draw against Roo Island. Though they were seeking a win, a draw helps more than a loss does, and when wins and draws are considered they currently are stronger than Haunted Woods, previous league leaders. Maraqua take Darigan Citadel to a draw, but it’s not enough for them- with only 9 days of competition remaining before the finals, it may be too late for them to come back. What they’ll want to focus on now is staying within Second Tier. With the glut of teams fighting for fourth place in Top Tier, several of them will be relegated down to Second Tier by the end of the league, meaning competition is fierce down there as well to see who takes the top of second tier.

Kreludor play Darigan Citadel today, while Mystery Island are met by Lost Desert. These teams are all around the same level in the league, so today is an important match for all four teams. Meridell face the power of Shenkuu, and Haunted Woods carry themselves from their loss yesterday into a match with Top Tier leaders Krawk Island. Can they regain their morale and keep themselves in power?
