My two cents
In Season 1, Group A proved to be the strongest - both Finalists came from it. How do you assess your groups? Easy? Tough?
From my point of view, I am matched again with @cezary-io. In Season 1 I won both matches with high scores, but that was during my vacations... I cannot repeat that performance on a working day. He was then the best player of all who were eliminated after the group phase. Also, @cezary-io was the MVP of the eliminations, scoring 60k in two matches. He will be the favorite of Group A.
@ilodz24hd and @giulius also scored high and left no doubts to their opponents. Even though the latter is the lowest ranked player in the group phase, his rank may not fully represent his potential.
Group A seems very tough to me and I expect high scores in each match here
Schedule
We play double round robin in the group phase. Each pair play two matches, one on a weekday, one during a weekend.
Make note of the following days:

Play offs
Here's how the Quarterfinals and Semifinals will be set up. Two best players from each group advance to the play-off phase.
Quarterfinals
A1 = winner group A
A2 = runner up group A
etc.
- Q1: A1 vs D2
- Q2: A2 vs D1
- Q3: B1 vs C2
- Q4: B2 vs C1
Two legs will be played in each pair:
Leg 1: Wednesday, Sep 22;
Leg 2: Saturday, Sep 25.
Semifinals
Q1 = winner of quarterfinal 1
etc.
- S1: Q1 vs Q4

Leg 2: Saturday, Oct 2.
Final
Obviously...
- F: S1 vs S2
The final is a single match, played on Saturday, Oct 9.
Stay tuned
Tomorrow I will remind the scoring rules and how group ranking table order is decided. Stay tuned and good luck everyone!
Yes, group A is a tough one. You'll need some extra effort :)

Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 57/77) Liquid rewards.
Obviously I will try to take revenge for last season, but I am sure it won't be easy. I am pretty sure that @practicaleric from group C will be in the finals .
!BEER
You need to stake more BEER (24 staked BEER allows you to call BEER one time per day)

I cleaned up my old phone that was starting to be seriously slow, and removed many useless apps. I think it helps for Actifit dapp, which crashed only a couple of times in the last 48 hours. That is much better than before. Combined with an increase in activity, I hope it can make me competitive again in this league, because I have been slacking off a bit since the end of the first season. At least, if I lose a match now, I can only blame it on my laziness!
Good luck everyone!
