Dear chessfans!
Last Sunday our blockchain chess team fought in liga 4 of the "Lichess Liga Team Battle reloaded" and I thought we could go for the top 3 spots. However, it started already bad and got worse throughout the tournament. We ended with the last place and were thus - deservedly - relegated to liga 5! Who would have expected this 2 weeks ago?
148 players from 10 teams, of an average rating of 2058 had participated. Topscorer from our team was 
Hive account@jaki01, for the second time. Congratulations!
Many thanks also to 
Hive account@tangibleay, 
Hive account@dalods, 
Hive account@madchess64, 
Hive account@samostically, 
Hive account@mendelito (TheMadman4rmDaSouth), 
Hive account@southgamer, 
Hive account@rodrook, 
Hive account@justfavour and 
Hive account@dadapizza (knighthammer7) for fighting for our team! 11 players is also a record low this season.
Here are the final standings:

7 scorers earned one Hive that was sent to their wallets on Sunday (not 8 as one had not participated 5 games, instead the 8th Hive went to Hive account@southgamer)! In total 150 Hive were paid out so far! And all who have none yet will be given bonus points for S21 (if played at least 5 games, the complete rules you can see here)!
All our results so far:
The next, 18th event start on Thursday, 31th July, at 18h GMT in liga 5C.
Mode: 5+0 (5 minutes per game, 0 sec. increment per move), 100 min. arena

(just let me know if you don´t want to get the mentions)
The rules:
- Everybody in our Lichess team can join using the link to the tournament (pick the blockchain chess team if asked 😃, in case you are part of multiple teams) and if you are not in our team yet, you can join anytime!
- Every Thursday and Sunday are tournaments that last 1h40min (but you don´t need to stay for the full time)
- The results of the 8 best contributors of each team (i.e. the "scorers") are counted in this liga
- Bonus: Every participant in the Team Liga (min. 5 games played) will get a one-time bonus of 3 points in the upcoming Hivechess season 21, all scorers 5 and topscorers will get even 10 points!
- Payout: Each week all scorers will get 1 or 2 Hive (depending if scored once or twice that week) sent to their wallet!
The more join the better. Can we regain at least liga 4 this Thu.?
15% of the rewards of this post go the prizepool of S21!
I have decided that after 20 rounds we will do a summer break, but regular S21 will start around September!
Unless things turn around significantly...
And not forget: Today starts the main event of Esports World Cup 2025, with chess being part of it for the first time!
