So.. 75% of the server counted, 8243 players. We had a maximum of 12400 players, more then the last two Finals with 10K players. Now 12121 players, 276 Natars incl WWs. My list is mainly based on Top220 allys and profiles. I will need to update it though, it’s time for the second reorganization, allys is changing names, smaller allys is merging, new constellations rises.
Even if my maps begins to be a bit old you can still use them if you want a closer look on the metas.
And remember there is still 4K players that ofc not all will belong to a meta but that are not “counted” yet.
We start with North East +/+, the biggest quad and five bigger groups fighting for domination. In the past Finals a quad so divided had never been able to participate for real in the endgame. Maybe the overcrowded quad will make a difference.
Arabs is the biggest meta with 1331 players in NE and another 108 players in the other three quads. Most of Portugal/Latinos players is associated with Arabs, 266 players in NE and 57 in NW. In total 1762 players in Arab meta.
The NE meta has 877 players.
An independent group Russians has chosen to play in NE, 253 players. The latest days most of them has changed ally name to Winter and show NAP with Error, the independent Turkish ally in NE, 222 players.
The last bigger group in NE is Dacia, 238 players,
Allys I’m not sure on, 96 players.
NE: 3283 players counted.
South East +/- is more homogeneous, Turks 1082 accounts. Their partner Vietnam with 307 accounts and Germany with 175 accounts. 83 German players belongs to GO and a bird is whispering they plays with Arabs. 136 players I’m not sure where they belong and a Polish ally with 24 members. At least 1617 players in Turk meta.
Turks was proud that they had qualified with more then 2400 players. I estimate that around 1500 fulfilled and started. It’s not an unusual loss. An exception is the Russians that have been good on keeping their players – and more than so. I still remember Final 2012 when they entered the Final with more then 3000 accounts. The whole server was a playground for them. They left one WW for us others to take so they should have something for their hammers to target – and in the end they ofc took that one too.
SE: 1724 players counted.
South West -/-: Russians thought it was very funny that I counted them to 1112 in SW. They also have 176 players in NW and 324 associated. Counted so far 1612 players in Russian meta.
Poland/Latinos 126 players and the not assigned 55.
SW: 1827 players counted.
North West -/+ is Dacias territory, 1097 accounts. Due to a quarrel about oases they have lost Enigma/Pan 171 accounts. Two aggressive offensive players settled a 15 c on each side of the agreed border. The oases was on Enigma side of the border. Dacia demanded that their player should have the best combination, the Enigma player refused. Dacia craved that the Enigma players should be zeroed.
Well… Deathstalker is a very protective and loyal Yankee when it comes to his players so that proposal wasn’t well taken. Together with other insults that Americans should know their place and not interfere with their superiors it could only end in one way – separation.
Dacia NW and Dacia NE, 1335 players.
NW: 1576 players counted.
Hmm that makes 8410, I’ve counted some ally twice :/ Asch, it have to stand for now, it’s bedtime.
I’ve heard that the Humble Hero have found a nice pair of Nikes, unfortunately he also was knocked out by a flying empty bottle of Stolichnaya, thrown by an angry Russian whilst he was defending the southern wall. He has been knocked out cold, and is currently being revived.
