SP champions league - season 3

[gregoric]

So the group stage is now finalized. There was one missing game in group C between FC Valid and Valcíři Chomutov C.F. - as there was no invitation sent by home team, the victory 3:0 goes to Czech team. Anyway there would be no impact on the final standings in case of any result in this game. The most dramatic situation was in group A - where the difference between 2nd and last place is just one point!

All in all, we have two teams from Czech republic in the QF - both qualified as group winners. Their company in POT1 are former winners of this competition - FC Remedy & Noldor. POT2 contains only teams which joined this SPCL for the first time.

The full play-off draw will be published tomorrow. As usual, there are two rules for QF draw:
- teams from the same group can't play against each other
- teams from POT2 will play their first game at home stadium

Good luck everyone! And many thanks to all other teams for participation in the tournament!! - maybe next time will bring more success

Wow, that A group was really interesting
Now I've found out that it was good for me to play with Sapmdoria in one group - I cannot play against him in the 1/4final

Btw. keep working, Gregoric, excellent work

[gregoric]

It's not a secret
And I am still using the good old school method - 8 small pieces of paper with the teams written down there, split to two groups (pot a / b). And I just start picking up random team from pot B followed by pot A. From QF1 to QF2. In case I would draw two teams from the same group, I just move the team to another position (e.g. if the POT A team drawn for QF2 belongs to the same group as previously taken team from POT B, I would move the "A" team to QF3 and then draw another team from POT A for QF2).

Gregoric: Thanks for answer. For the next time you can use those plastic "eggs" for toys from Kinder Surprise to hide the papers with the names of the teams - it would be more epic

marcelinho 3 - 4 Noldor (139 - 149)

Good position for me before the 2nd match

Gregoric: Thanks for answer. For the next time you can use those plastic "eggs" for toys from Kinder Surprise to hide the papers with the names of the teams - it would be more epic

and then only missing thing is to watch it live from Gregoric's webcamera

guys I know that the CZE-SVK league draw is much more hi-tech, but don't expect live streaming in 4K quality in SPCL
although - if there is any volunteer for this in future seasons, I am ok with that

Anyway, two QF games played last weekend - you know where you can find the update

[Papa Bouba Diop]

I received an invitation from juvent for tomorrow at 22:00...not the best time for me but I accepted it

[gregoric]

QF3 - first leg: juvent - Valcíři Chomutov C.F. 0:1

That means, three group winners were successful in their away games - and they are one step closer to the semifinals. According to the schedule, all QF games will be completed on Sunday.

[gregoric]

All QF games & top scorers updated. FC Remedy is out of the top 4 this season - after winning the first edition and second place in second season, Remedy will not be fighting for medals this seasons! That means, that Noldor is the only team who qualified to the final four in all CL seasons. His opponent - Primisimo FC plays the semifinal for second time in row (3rd place last season). Another Czech team - Valcíři Chomutov C.F. already improved last season results (QF). Btw - for the first time in a short history of SPCL we can see two teams from one country in final four (CZE). Last but not least - Bulgarian team U.C.SAMPDORIA will fight for a medal in first appearance in the competition.

Again - thanks to all four beaten teams for participation in the tournament and hope that they will join again in future. And good luck to all semifinalists!
