Lichess Liga Team Battle: a narrow 7th rank keeps us in Liga 3 - Next round this Thursday!

Dear chessfans!

Last Sunday our blockchain chess team fought for the 3^rd time in the super tough Liga 3 of the "Lichess Liga Team Battle reloaded", and at the end we just made it to rank 7, thus keeping us there (teams 8 to 10 are relegated). During the tournament it didn´t look too well for us, but at the end we made the necessary points, thanks to a tremendous team effort again!

With 254(!) players of an average rating of 2020 the battle was as challenging as expected. Topscorer was in his only second appearance @toluwayme, congratulations! Also @poseout87 (ManFromSpain) and @samostically made it into the team´s top3!

Many thanks also to @tangibleay, IMs @stuffings, @mendelito (TheMadman4rmDaSouth), @jaki01, @fcastro177, @dhilan04, @franu (Tz995), @psicologopoeta (scutie76) (Welcome to Hivechess!!!), @justola1, @madchess64, @maverieux000 (Keylix), IM @tenny-trigah, @sammy00 (migmag), @rodrook and @darruiz for joining the forces, in total we were 19! Several others had played but had less than 5 games.

Here are the final standings:

The 10 topscorers earned one Hive that will be sent to their wallets later this week! And all who have none yet will be given bonus points for S21 (if played at least 5 games)!

All our results so far:

• Every Thursday and Sunday are tournaments that last 1h40min (but you don´t need to stay for the full time)
• The results of the 10 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!

  The more join the better we will be. Can we dream of raising to Liga 2??
