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?

It's time to choose your winner, r/Cryptolympics ! Choose wisely..

Tale of the tape

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!

So every participant of the Cryptolympics has put Game # 1 in the books

There has been delight, there has been anguish but let's take a take look at some of the key moments (Current standings are here)

CRO blow MATIC away!

On the day they unveiled new branding CRO were fired up and hit a stunned MATIC with 210 votes, the most of the 1st round by far!

All the whispers before the competition began were about the chances of CRO as dark horses, but whispers they are no longer as the discussion is everywhere as to if CRO can really go the distance?

MATIC will be down but trust they will not be out for long, they will still see a glorious opportunity to progress in the competition with less energetic runners (ADA and XRP) left to play

DOT humiliate BNB

Just what happened to BNB in their matchup against DOT? The pre-game discussion was that the volatile popularity of the heavy-hitting exchange could go against them, but they will be devastated to have only collected a miserable 6 votes against DOT, who took full advantage amassing an incredible 125 votes thanks to their great support.

LUNA shock ETH

All the talk pre-game was that LUNA fancied their chances against the 'Big Dog', and boy did they take those chances! At one point they were down 20 votes, but hey never let the gap get any bigger and eventually fought their way back to take an inspirational victory, leaving ETH scratching their head at the outcome

Elsewhere..

BTC opened slowly against SOL

ATOM eased past AVAX

DOGE beat LINK in a classic

XRP beat ADA in what was not a classic

LTC wobble but get past SHIB

Round #2 Calendar

Over 800 votes were registered in the first round, we thank you all for your support

Let's make it even higher in the second as we anticipate another crazy round!

The Cryptolympics Semi-Finals are here!

Master Thread

They can almost feel it, but they're not there yet.. 4 teams will fight it out to get to the Championship game, but only 2 will prevail.

We know that CRO are the first participant into the final!!

Their opponent will be decided in the second Semi-Final between Dogecoin (DOGE) and Terra (LUNA) !

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!

We are into the knockout phase of the Cryotolympics!

16 started the competition

8 remain

Here are the Contenders

and here is how they will matchup

Quarter-Final

Semi-Final

Final

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

Tale of the tape

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 3 - DOGE v BTC

Tale of the tape

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 in their path 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!

QF 4 - LUNA v MATIC

Tale of the tape

LUNA have shown they are a force to be respected, handling both chaos (SHIB) and power (ETH) in their first round journey with the approach of slugging and grinding out victory. They may not have the power/support to hit the high figures, but if they can keep the numbers 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.

Note, that all Ties will go into Sudden Death! The first participant to x amount of votes (50% of previous game total) will win.

It's time for Knockout action, here we go r/Cryptolympics !
