Dear chessfans!
Yesterday our blockchain chess team fought yet again in liga 3 of the "Lichess Liga Team Battle reloaded" and this time it was an absolute shocker!! We could only achieve the second to last rank and were relegated to liga 4! It was not even close, 38 points were missing to stay in liga 3. Rank 9 is also the worst result our team ever had this year.
Why? First of all some of our strongest player didn´t show up and from the one who did, several did not stay for the full time. 100 min. of 3+0 is very exhaustive, I felt it too. But if you stop playing after 5 games, it is completely useless (you won´t get more S21 bonus (the 3 points is one-time), so it makes no sense from that perspective, too). Well, let´s hope with this team morale we even can stay in liga 4!
186 players of an average rating of 2069 had fought for points and the raise to the prestigious liga 2. Topscorer from our team was 
Hive account@poseout87 (ManFromSpain), followed by 
Hive account@southgamer (best result so far, first time scoring!!) and 
Hive account@hildemaro (hildemaro7). Congratulations!
Many thanks also to

Of note, Hive account@poseout87 took now the single lead on the number of topscorings!
The price for the number of scorings (which was not announced yet) currently would go to........
Hive account@samostically! 13 times he has scored for our team! That is really impressive.
Here are the final standings:

The 10 topscorers earned one Hive that will be sent to their wallets on Sunday! 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, 17th event start on Sunday, 27th July, at 18h GMT in liga 4A.
Mode: 3+2 (3 minutes per game, 2 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 we will be. Can we regain liga 3?
20% of the rewards of this post go the prizepool of S21!
How long do we want to keep fighting? 2 years ago we stopped after 20 battles. I have the feeling that we could go on for a while still.
What do you think? Has someone already signs of "team battle fatigue"?
Maybe next time I will create a poll and will follow the outcome, but let me know your thoughts first in the comments!
