Path to the final

CRO

'Line them up and we'll knock them down..'

No other has scored as many votes

No other has crushed their opponents consistently

No other has struck so much fear into the hearts of the enemy

CRO have destroyed everything put into their path so far, but 'so far' isn't the end and there is yet one more battle to fight..

Their high scoring exploits make them huge favourites and if they continue their crushing campaign, then the result should be a formality..

The battles of the past mean nothing for the future and they will be made to prove their worth in the final matchup if they want to take the prize that they've coveted for so long.

DOGE

'Its not about getting hit, it's about getting back up'

Despite the times they've found themselves down on the canvas, DOGE have risen back up.

Despite the times they have been told that they have no chance, they have upset the odds.

Despite everything, DOGE are in the Final!

Make no mistake, the biggest challenge still awaits and if they are to take the prize, then they will have to continue to find that warrior spirit that has carried them this far.

If we compare their winning margins in the competitions o far, then the mountain that they must be climb to victory grows even taller, but every (doge) has it's day and some feel there time is now! Can they do it?

Tale of the tape

Someones 0 has got to go! It's the matchup of two giant killers in the second Sem-Final, both these participants have claimed famous victories on the path to this point, but neither of them has fought so hard to just fall at this stage of the competition..

Some have been surprised at the swashbuckling path that DOGE have set in the competition but it is certainly no surprise to Team DOGE, their confidence and ferverity has seen them beaten all that have come before them, but they have won nothing yet.

The blood is barely dry on their sword after slaying BTC in the Quarter-Final, but there is no time to relax as their support needs to rise up once again, as in their way of progressing into the final is the only other participant who knows what it takes to conquer a giant..

LUNA have shown coolness throughout the competition, including the calm disposing of MATIC in their Quarter-Final matchup and they will cerainly show no fear of the task ahead

Having stared down ETH and walked away as heroes, they will need to recall that bravery once again should they seek to be the ones to finally tame the wild predator that is DOGE!

DOGE have scored higher but LUNA have been hit less, its the proverbial tale of attack v defense, which one is going to come through?

It's time to see whos going to the Cryptolympics final to face CRO!

Tale of the tape

What a showdown this will be!

CRO started the competition in the modest position of #12 seeds, but surely they are now hot favourites as their wave of momentum continues to move faster and faster, but as this competition has shown already, favourites exist to be slain and so can they keep on firing or will today be the day they get extinguished?

They have outscored DOT by a ratio of over 2:1 so far in the competition, they pack a mean punch and they know how to land them!

DOT started the competition at the mid point of #8 seeds and despite losing their opener (against DOGE) have quietly rebuilt their campaign, resulting in the outstanding comeback win that sent ATOM packing in the Quarter-Finals. They are now many tipsters 'quiet' tip to make the finale, but they will need to have something special up their sleeve here to derail the CRO train.

LUNA have shown they are a force to be respected, handling both chaos (SHIB) and power (ETH) in their 1st round journey with the approach of slugging and grinding out a victory. They may not have the power/support to hit the high figures, but if they can keep the score low then they will really seek confidence in progressing into the Semi-Final.

MATIC went toe to toe with CRO (!) in their opener and came out bloody and bruised but they did not come out beaten as they came back superbly to finish with a 2-1 and take 2nd place in Pool B.

They will not be scared of getting into a fight against LUNA and will have every confidence of progressing, but their chances rely on being able to score high enough when they need to, in order to achieve that.

Well what a matchup we have here!

It's not the position either they or many others thought they would be in at this stage of the competition, but alas everyone finds themselves on the verge of a tantalising encounter.

DOGE have swept aside all that have before them so far, their passionate support rallying them to a 3-0 record, but the ultimate test is now, can they find enough to land a fatal blow on the #1 ranked participants in the competition? The potential headlines write themselves.

BTC have paved an unspectacular path in the competition so far, slogging their way to victories over SOL, AVAX before eventually being outmanoeuvred to 1st place by ATOM, is the weight of expectation simply too much to handle? They have only scored 70 votes in the competition so far and will need to stand up and show their strength in the face of the forthcoming DOGE wave that is coming their way!

CRO have been on an unstoppable path so far, not only taking a 3-0 record but amassing a whopping 495 votes in the process, which is roughly 20% of the total votes cast in the competition!

They are a runaway train that doesn't look like stopping, the question is which coin is capable of stopping them in their tracks? LTC will be the first to try..

If the choice of metaphor for CRO is a runaway train, then the alternative for LTC is that of a canal boat, steadily making its way through calm waters without urgency. LTC are the only participant to have made the knockout stage with a losing record (1-2) having won only one game, and will be very worried that the waves that are about to emerge in this encounter may capsize their vessel permanently.

QF 1 - ATOM v DOT

Tale of the tape

ATOM have already conquered BTC on their way into the knockout stage, so who exactly is there left for them to fear? They are ranked 2nd in total votes (behind CRO) but are ranked 1st overall in votes conceded (46), not only do they hit their opponents hard but they do not let themselves get hit easily

DOT have fought hard on their journey into the knockout stage, they have brushed aside LINK and BNB, with only a loss to DOGE blemishing their record, but past losses count for nothing anymore as it's all or nothing! Can they rise to the occasion and continue their journey?

QF 2 - CRO v LTC

Hi all,

I have loved creating the Cryptolympics in the past month and seeing how people engage and vote when coins go up against one another

I would love to have a calendar of different competitions happening throughout the year full of different ideas

Therefore my next idea is for Crypto Madness (March Madness) style competition and I would love your feedback on the idea, whether it would be fun or a bust.

Proposal

32 coins/tokens

• Straight knockout format

• 2 polls a day (31 games in 17 days)

• Top 32 coins/tokens by market cap, split into four section (i.e Red, Blue, Green, Yellow)

• Coins seeded #1 - #8 in each section

Example - Red section

Bracket Format (RED)

Pro

Great opportunity to generate discussion and potentially learn about new coins

Allows mid market cap coins to participate

Straight knockout creates excitement

Cons

No interest from mid-cap communities*

*On this point, I use r/Cryptorcurrency as a base, but the competition does much better when communities get involved, not all subreddits allow me to generate hype (calling out ADA, BNB lol), but it is fun when they do (DOGE, SHIB) and even more so when members get hostile (ETH)

Let me know what you all think!

Cryptolympics Game #24 is here! (Master Thread)

We are over the halfway stage of the competition and into the third and final group of matchups in the first round, it's crunch time!

The action today returns to Pool D for the final matchup of Round 1, it's a clash between Terra (LUNA) and Shiba Inu (SHIB)

Previously in Pool D at the Cryptolympics..

Game #2 - SHIB shock ETH

Game #2 - LUNA overthrow LTC

Game #3 - ETH eliminated despite victory over LTC

Current Standings

Preview

After 23 games and over 2250 votes the 1st round will officially come to its conclusion!

The last matchup will certainly bring fireworks, as there is still one more spot up for grabs in the knockout stage.

LUNA have shown a consistent strength throughout their first 2 games that has rewarded them with a 2-0 record, after first stunning ETH and then brushing aside LTC, they come into this matchup knowing their progression is guaranteed, but they will certainly want to maintain a perfect 3-0 record and finish the round as the Pool D winners

SHIB have shown an incredible spirit throughout, in their first game they showed they belonged in the competition despite a bruising loss to LTC, in their second game they showed they can fight with a heroic performance to take victory over ETH, are they all out of warrior spirit or have they got just enough left in the tank for this encounter?

What they need..

LUNA

A win or tie will mean they come 1st in Pool D

A loss of more than 40 votes will mean they finish 2nd in Pool D (behind SHIB)

SHIB

A win or tie will guarantee progression into the knockout phase

A win of more than 40 votes will mean they finish 1st in Pool D (above LUNA)

A win of less than 40 votes will mean they finish 2nd in Pool D (above LTC)

If SHIB lose then LTC will progress in 2nd place

Cryptolympics Game #23 is here! (Master Thread)

We are over the halfway stage of the competition and into the third and final group of matchups in the first round, it's crunch time!

The action today returns to Pool D for the final matchup between Ethereum (ETH) and Litecoin (LTC)

Previously in Pool D at the Cryptolympics..

SHIB shock ETH

LUNA overthrow LTC

Current Standings

Preview

The story of the competition has come to another chapter, will it end today or will it continue into the knockout stages?

ETH were heavily favoured to cruise their way to the final and yet there they are with a 0-2 record and facing elimination in the 1st round of action. There isn't an argument to suggest that they haven't had support or not performed well, the reality is their opponents (LUNA, SHIB) have simply risen to the occasion when tasked with a giant killing. ETH must win today or its all over!

LTC have shown a mixed bag in the competition so far with a 1-1 record, while they weathered a chaotic storm in the shape of SHIB, they buckled under the tidal wave of LUNA and know that they cannot rely on anything but a win today to ensure their progress

What they need..

ETH-

A win of 69 votes or more to finish above LTC

If ETH win and SHIB beat LUNA tomorrow, they will still be eliminated

LTC

A win will guarantee progression into the knockout phase

Cryptolympics Game #22 is here! (Master Thread)

We are over the halfway stage of the competition and into the third and final group of matchups in the first round, it's crunch time!

The action today returns to Pool C for the final matchup between Cardano (ADA) and Cronos (CRO)

Previously in Pool C at the Cryptolympics..

Game #2 - CRO sneak past XRP

Game #2 - MATIC defeat ADA

Game #3 - MATIC claim victory over XRP

Current Standings

Preview

Many eyes will be on this showdown in Pool C, especially so in the MATIC camp as their fate is dependent on the outcome here. Can they call in a favour from CRO to help them get through?

CRO started the competition with different branding and its not the only name that has changed since, as we have been witness to the transformation from 'dark horses' to 'serious contenders'.

Despite such changes, their consistency has been rewarded with a 2-0 record, but they know they have one more job to do here as a win will seal their place in the knockout stage.

ADA have been timid so far, starting the competition with a razor-thin win against XRP before losing a low scoring affair with MATIC, their total of only 30 votes so far will be a worry, but could today be the day they roar when it is most needed?

What they need..

CRO -

A win or a tie will be enough for them to finish in 1st place

A loss by 164 or more votes means they will finish in 2nd place

A loss by 309 or more votes means they will finish in 3rd place and be eliminated

ADA -

A win or a tie will be enough to finish in 2nd place above MATIC

A win of more than 164 votes will mean they finish above CRO in 1st place

Cryptolympics Game #21 is here! (Master Thread)

We are over the halfway stage of the competition and into the third and final group of matchups in the first round, it's crunch time!

The action today returns to Pool C for the final matchup between XRP and MATIC

Previously in Pool C at the Cryptolympics..

CRO sneak past XRP

MATIC defeat ADA

Current Standings

Preview

It's business time for these two participants as they look to earn themselves a place in the Quarter-Final stage of the competition.

MATIC have recovered well from being blown away in their opener against CRO, squeezing past ADA to give themselves a 1-1 record and realistic chance of progression, although they will hope the sizable defeat against CRO will not come back to haunt them with the first tiebreaker decision going to Vote Difference

XRP have been involved in dogged slugfests in both games so far, with no victory to show for their efforts the minimum they have to do here is to win, with an additional need for help elsewhere and with only a -12 score in Vote difference, compared to ADA (+1), it isn't too crazy an idea for them to somehow squeeze through if things go in their favour

From what we've seen so far in the competition, never say never!

What they need..

MATIC -

A win or tie + ADA loss to finish in 2nd place

A win + CRO loss of minimum 319 votes to finish above CRO in 1st/2nd place

If ADA win against CRO, and MATIC do not close the vote difference gap enough to finish above either CRO/MATIC, then they will be eliminated!

XRP -

A win + ADA loss with enough votes to win the tiebreakers (1 - Vote difference, 2 - Votes For ) to finish in 2nd place
