For more offtopic nonsense: point differentials in WvW mean next to nothing. Once the outcome of the match has been decided the vast majority of losing servers tend to lose the motivation for play for ppt, or play at all. This is true for pretty much every matchup. The only thing the differential really indicates is how early in the week the losing side gave up.

FA was beating SBI by 10 percent plus almost the entire time. It was only close to even the first few hours of the match and SBI did surge in the middle but never overtook FA. FA is a stronger server generally speaking. If SBI does beat them, as I said before it will be a big upset.

To put this on topic, there probably won’t be a tie for 1st place in Silver, Gold or Bronze. It could happen but probably won’t.

1st, 2nd and 3rd place are probably locked with no ties. It doesn’t much matter past that. I am pretty sure this will be the correct power rankings despite the scoring in the end:

FA
SBI
YB
BP
DB
EB
CD
NS
IoJ

The last two could flip/flop.

For those of you keeping score at home, if SBI beats FA during week 7, the points will be tied.

Yes, Week 7 will be the “moment of truth” for SBI in Season 1. I, for one, look forward to it!

On Tuesday afternoon of week 1, FA had a 6k lead over SBI. That’s how close it was.
They pulled away on Tuesday afternoon.
Not that it really matters, but if you’re going to post ‘facts’, at least make sure they are accurate.
It wouldn’t be that big of an upset to be honest. Both servers are very even overall. The winner in a FA-SBI matchup generally comes down to the third server. In this case it’s Dragonbrand.
Having Dragonbrand in the matchup hurts SBI more than FA.
SBI and FA are similar strength in NA time and Oceanic time.
SBI is superior in SEA time and FA is superior in Euro time.
So overall it’s very equal. The difference lies in Dragonbrand’s playtime. They are strong in SEA time, minimizing SBI’s PPT capability, whereas Dragonbrand is almost nonexistent in Euro time therefore FA is able to tick high PPT in their strong timezone.
When FA played SBI a few weeks before league, Maguuma was the third server and due to their strong EU time, it minimized FA’s ppt potential during EU and thus FA was promptly neutered overall.
Whatever happens, hopefully it’s fun. =)

If there is a tie, each server will be awarded the rewards for that place. e.g. if NSP and IoJ tie for 8th each will receive 8th place rewards.

Haha IoJ tied for 8th. I know it’s an example, but its a funny example. 9th place rockstars ’fo ’sho.

quoting for emphasis. This is is pretty much exactly how the ppt battle will be decided in week 7. That and maybe DB’s oceanic/sea will bug FA instead this time around.

Yeah, it would be nice if the matchups were actually randomized to some degree so we weren’t facing them with the same 3rd server both times, but that’s probably asking for too much.
