The K League United Elimination Game - Round 14

Round Thirteen saw nine become seven as the latest round of the K League United Elimination Game claimed two more victims. As we descend towards the end game, who will manage to hold on as lives continue to fall around them? Here is Round Fourteen.

Round Thirteen Roundup

Had you asked me after round 10 who would win this game, Lex Nande and 이재혁 both would’ve made a great argument. 

이재혁 had played a very smart and solid game. He lost one life in round four, but remained perfect until a pair of losses in the 12th and 13th rounds knocked him out for good. He made it to round 13 and still hadn’t chosen the top three K-League 1 teams Jeonbuk, Gyeongnam, Suwon Bluewings, or current K2 leaders Asan. This game is also about luck, and luck wasn’t with Mr. Lee. 

Lex went ten rounds without making an error. He then made three incorrect picks in a row. Lex joins a pantheon of greats who went out by choosing 3 wrong teams in a row including Paul Neat… Lex also leaves us having not chosen any of the K-League 1’s top two teams or the current leaders of the K-League 2. 

In our head-to-heads for the week, Jeonnam was supported by Mr. Adam Hicks and with two goals crushed Sangju Sangmu supported by Lex.

Ferdinand Scheibe chose Suwon FC and Jon Christian mistakenly, but to harm, chose Gwangju. 

Seven players are left. Choose wisely. 

I’m taking Anyang.
