World Team League 2023 Summer: Code S - Round 1
Prediction Game
The Prediction Game is back! Much like the original SPL edition and the CTC edition, this is sort of like Liquibets but for a team league. Give your predictions, score points for correct guesses and compete with others for glory and bragging rights.
How does it work?

How does it work?
Every week, post your predictions here or on the CranKy Ducklings Discord. You can update your predictions after you posted them but no editing posts past the deadline!
For each of the Bo2 sets, list the score between the players. For the (potential) Ace Match, pick the team who you think will take it. Picking the team means that in case there is an Ace Match, you're choosing the player from that team, no matter who that may be.
Example prediction:
Vindicta 2-0 Reynor
Cham 1-1 Serral
trigger 0-2 sOs
Ace: ABYDOS
Cham 1-1 Serral
trigger 0-2 sOs
Ace: ABYDOS
All the predictions are then gathered in a Google Sheet where everybody is able to see the results.
Technical Notes
Because the WTL lineups are not posted long in advance, for the time being I decided to just add predictions manually instead of using a form. That may change in the future but I think it's the best system for this season.
I'm also testing 2 different ranking systems for scoring the Bo2s. First one only gives points for correct exact score predictions. The second one gives 2 points for exact score and 1 point if you are 1 game off in a Bo2, so e.g. if you predicted 1-1 but the match ends in a 2-0, you still get a point.
If you have any suggestions for prediction or player statistics, let me know and I'll see what I can do!
Predictions Time!
