217 :red-meeple: Merlin_89 - Halfling :yellow-meeple: 180
I suffered a loss last time against Khalid, I've made some tactical errors, so I really wanted to course correct my game yesterday.
First of all, I knew blocking your opponent is rather a loss of time when playing with Besiegers and The Festival... I wanted to improve my strategy but somehow my game switched from attack to defence completely... I was blocked in at least 3 places, Halfling kept picking Besiegers tiles, undermining my cities one by one. It was a crazy frustrating start! But I knew I'd have had plenty of occasions to rise up. And it happened, Halfling was busy blocking, and I picked right tiles, I kept scoring, and I was ahead in points. It was a good moment for me, but then I picked Cathedral tile, and I used it in Halfling's city, with an idea of expanding it and never allowing it to be closed. It worked for a while... short while... Halfling closed it out! First thought? I'm OUT! I can't win! Second... what can I do to change things... big farm! I used the very first situation to push my big follower into the field, I found one good spot, and just like that, I joined... It was a lucky, quick and effective strike and it left Halfling with very little time to respond. He couldn't respond to that.
Really good round of Carcassonne!
I have one game left in round stage, but What If seems to be hard to catch on Central recently. I hope to play soon!
Halfling:
If you do catch him then send him my way too
MrNumbers:
Current standings.
If What If? will not appear here to play his games till the deadline (28.01), then I'll erase his games from the table and the final group standings will be like on the second picture.
MrNumbers:
So, deadline is passed by, and in order to competition move on I am forced to disqualify What If? and erase his games from the x-score table. Final standings attached. Congratulations to Merlin_89 and khalidqasrawi for reaching QF!
TheSteveAllen:
If, like myself, you enjoyed the competition of the Carcassonne World Cup, but failed to qualify for the knock-out stage, you might be interested in joining our little tournament that we are setting up amongst the others who did not qualify.

I hope that you will all consider joining this friendly tournament, especially as you can't get "knocked out" of this one before the end.
