WTCOC Curiosities by JinaJina, szigfrid, manarori, and Mingo
Quarterfinal Curiosities – WTCOC week 7
This week’s Curiosities are short and sweet because we are also preparing the Curiosities for the entire 2024 season.
- Japan, Hungary, France and the United Kingdom all won their matches this week and will proceed to the semifinals!
- from the 3 time WTCOC winner Japan, the other teams (Fra, UK, Hun) are in the semi finals for the first time in their history.
- 48 games played (20 duels)
- 12 duels had 2 games (24 games total)
- 8 duels had 3 games (24 games total)
- Player 1-3 (Fra) earned this week’s highest game score of 141 points (which is only 3 points behind the highest score so far this year) and shares this week’s highest combined score with phoam (Por).
- UK’s wallaceprime scored 74 points to claim this week’s lowest winning score.
- LazyBore (UK) and HotlyHotly ended a game with a 100-100 draw, and the win was given to the UK. However…this game should have been recorded as a loss due to time instead. Ooops!
- We are very happy to report that for the first time this year, all games were completed as ‘expected’: Nobody failed to show up for their duel and nobody inappropriately conceded a game, as players should only concede games if they run out of time.
- After the Round of 16, Alexey_LV was the only player to have won 6 duels. During the quarterfinals, HotlyHotly and szigfrid also claimed their 6th victories.
- Alexey_LV and should (Jap) are the only players to have played at least 5 duels without any losses. It is possible, however, for should to surpass Alexey_LV’s streak if he plays and wins two more duels.
- Statmatt is the only former individual world champion member of a team participating in the quarterfinals, but he didn’t play this week!
