RACE TOURNAMENT #2 CURRENT STANDINGS

Hello, Kovazia, and good evening. We are 1 game (and a rerace) away from the end of the second Kovaze Race tournament, and it is TIGHT. Here's a quick debrief on the standings. - RACE FOR THE GOLD MEDAL - KOVAZE INFLUENCERS VS TEAM (H)EVAN 1st - Team 9 (Kovaze Influencers) - 84 points 2nd - Team 7 (Team (H)evan) - 83 points These two teams have been on top since Night 1, and they haven't let their feet off the gas yet. With only 1 race left to truly shake up the standings, both teams know they have to beat the other to take the win. Captain AngieKStan of the Kovaze Influencers has brought nothing but good vibes and support, consistently praising her team and coordinating transport constantly to help them out. "Being selected for the Race Tournament as a captain was a true honor," Angie states. "I think most people that have raced with me know that while I’m not an a scorer, I know my way around transport and am a consistent partner. I went into the draft picking players that have been kind to me and make me happy! I think our team dynamic and energy was always positive which helped us out a lot. We knew not every race would be a win, but we tried to make it as far as we could everytime. I loved all the members of my team before this tournament and now have even more respect and admiration for them. Team 9 you rock. Going into this final race with my best friend who i joined this website with feels like a victory lap, regardless of the outcome. We proved a lot of you wrong." Captain Evan of Team (H)Evan took a different approach that has been extremely successful so far. Crunching numbers, setting strict goals, and making sure his team is always set up for success has been his route, and it's led to a well-oiled team that is both goal oriented and extremely supportive. "I love my team," Evan states. "They've been active, open to coaching, and have the common sense that I think is the reason why we're in a position to end at the top of the leaderboard." - LEADERBOARD STANDINGS 3rd - Team 3 (Cloud 11) - 75 points Captained by Lover, Cloud 11 has remained fairly consistent in games, placing in the top 5 in almost all of their race games and netting a solid amount of points with each race. Although their chances of winning the entire thing are slim, there's still a chance for them to take the gold, if not medal overall. 4th - Team 5 (Angel Wings) - 70 points Also known as JTee's Angels, this team has had a rough go around this tournament. At first, they were scoring poorly, with one of their teams causing a giant mishap due to one of the members not showing up. However, they turned things around Day 2 and won THREE races, boosting their standings in the race heavily. Now? It's up to their final representatives to try to get them a bronze medal. But their comeback this race is not to be understated. 5th - Team 6 (Naughty Nachos) - 69 points Captained by NaughtyNacho, this team has also remained consistent in their games. Captain Tylor has done a great job in giving courage, hope, and strength to his team, from the most experienced veterans to the rookiest of rookies. He hopes to land his team a medal today, but if not, he's happy with the journey the team has taken. 6th - Team 2 (The Blueprint) - 65 points Captained by Connor, the Blueprint held the blueprint to the race tournament gold by the end of Day 1; unfortunately, a series of middling placements in the subsequent races knocked the crown off their heads. With a recent 2nd place boosting their scores, it's about salvaging what they can and moving forward for a high finish. 7th - Team 8 (Team Ate) - 59 points Captained by Glaceon, this team was slated to win (or at least place high) after Game 5. Then, their captain vanished. Without him to fill the leadership position, team member Mittens quickly stepped up as a co-captain to fill the void (and the scheduling conflicts). Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to salvage the team, and they've been cascading down ever since. Will this last race give them any type of saving grace? 8th - Team 1 (Pink Velvet) - 53 points Captained by Ralts023, this team has seen both the pretty pinks and the clashing velvets this race tournament. From a soaring win to crushing defeats, Pink Velvet has seen every placement and the sun. Their track record reflects their journey in this race, constantly bouncing from high highs to low lows. But through it all, Captain Ralts has kept a level head and properly led his team through it all. Let's see if they finish with the red carpet at their feet, or with their dedication lost. 9th - Team 4 (Dino's Angels) - 43 points Captained by dino, Dino's Angels have had one of the bumpiest rides out of every team in this tournament. They were underestimated from the start, but shocked the world by pulling off a win at the first game to their captain and Cristi. From there, it's been a series of low placements, back to back to back. What will it be for Dino's Angels on game 11? A soaring victory, or crushing defeat? 10th - Team 10 (The Dream Team) - 37 points This team has been anything but the dream team. After two poor starts, team 10 was hoping to have a turnaround in Game 3. However, a poor judgement call (by yours truly) led to the bradi fiasco, which hit them the hardest -- it caused them to miss out on a ticket and get 8th. This completely demotivated many of the members of Team 10, and their team captain Dream, alongside Jaded, decided to withdraw from the race. KaliMinaj chose to step up as the new team captain, and while Team 10 is running on fumes at this point, they're still here, still fighting, still kicking. A win may not be in the horizon for them, but they have one more chance to prove why they could've been The Dream Team. Well, there you are - the standings for Race Tournament #2. Tune into the final race game at 7 PM KVT to see which teams come out on top, and which team will take the gold medal for the tournament!
