The K League United Elimination Game - Round 16

And then there were five. The K League United Elimination game enters it's sixteenth round, and our remaining participants are just about hanging on, with all-but-one on just a single life. With hardly any teams remaining to choose from, expect more casualties as we enter the final stages of this competition.

Round 15 Roundup

Welcome to the final five. 

James Edrupt, one of the final players to have all three lives AND last year’s champion when this game was only played with Los Cruzados Verdes, has been knocked out. James played a stunningly good game. He lost his first life by choosing Gwangju back in round 11 who is now in a playoff spot for promotion. His second and third life came when choosing FC Seoul who lost to Incheon and Pohang who lost to the Army. 

It is a sad day for James, but this game will end for all but one of us quite soon it would seem. 

Ferdinand Scheibl lost his second life by choosing Ansan against Suwon FC; it was his first life lost since round 3. 

I also lost my second life by choosing Pohang on the road. I’m in good company as the only player with more than one life is Todd Wilde with two. Todd hasn’t chosen incorrectly since the second round.

Adam Hicks has been doing VERY well having only made one poor choice this whole game; he lost his first life by entering in round 2. 

We haven’t had many head-to-heads in recent rounds. Matt Binns and Ferdinand Scheibl both had differences of opinions, and now Ferdinand will join Matt in the one life club. 

We’re down to five players with six lives between us. 

I’m taking Seongnam.
