Klaus Goldstein Happy Ending [13~18]

she came back so they beat the main villain in the dream ...what?

uh… wait is this real?

uh…… erm……

anyway they were finally able to be together clap clap ~

and they kissed! but well I quite enjoyed Zeus' ending, but Klaus' is um well…… what will be the reason? because he's not creaking at all? come to think of it, I haven't seen his blush scg in K2

And, the epilogue!

hihi Al sweet guy why am I getting more attached to other guys in Klaus' route forgive me, you excellency

Anyway, he asked how Klaus was doing, so Liz answered that he completely recovered.

why!! why are you worried about him when he despise you if it was the opposite situation, that mighty emperor wouldn't have worried about you at all

wait what what are you guys talking about oi Solmare shall we have a talk when are you going to throw away this tear stuff let's throw it away please throw away this "saving the one I love with the power of tears" plot will you?? promise me you won't please,,,,,,

no way are you insane why are you willing to put them together you don't remember? you forgot what happened and how the atmosphere ruined in Ch7??

ngl Al is too kind he doesn't have to be worried about those who hate him… well if he's okay with that……

don't ask that don't just casually ask about that sensitive subject what are you doing, you already know they have their personal problems would you please stop it already aaargh

At that time, Al said he might be late for his lecture, and hurried off down the hallway.

okay you can find his backstory in his route~ it's like that, right? okay okay I'll check his story after finishing Hiro's route!

Well she headed to the rooftop balcony to meet Klaus, and…

sorry, what? I have no ability to hear words from the one who became a skewer

and there happened to be another justification for him to appear in the later story the intention is so obvious that it's a bit hilarious though

Anyway, they talked about when he collapsed and fell unconscious.

and she showed him you-know-what photo I hope to tell you how I feel thing

oh I know, it's like something hidden under the bed is revealed well you should've kept your things well

what will you do if that's the case we should use this as a snack at a party haha!

and what the blush on Mr. Stickuphisass what am I seeing am I seeing things

but! cracking? extra point I needed this cracky cracking scene make fun of him this will be our last chance let's fucking make fun of him gogogogo

Anyway, back to the story.

then stop throwing flags so that it won't happen in the future I'm saying this now, but I could already predict your future by seeing you speak that way think twice before you open your mouth from now on I think you are underestimate me ← don't do this shit you guys all should recognize that one day you could be skewers or donuts or whatever

Anyway, she suggested a date.

oh no Klaus' basics in education and learning,,,,,,,

Anyway, that's how Klaus' route came to an end.

what it's not over how

wh..who who the heck is that? I have no idea at all um… maybe he's the mastermind then what about that Taffy-like entity eh

well… anyway, happy ending! clap clap

<Review> It was good! except that stupid climax and stupid magnet charm and stupid perfume shakeout and stupid bunch of death flags and etc But it feels kinda bland, maybe because I watched Zeus' route right before?

I honestly quite wondered how the story would flow; his intimacy with her was already high enough, and we the player already knew his backstory (besides I was quite sure that K-R-S issue wouldn't be covered in K2). So I thought: this K2 should have an emotional conflict, but how? But the writer twisted this situation; a new character named Alfonse appeared, and his relationship with Klaus was used as an emotional conflict… I was kinda surprised by this. In a way, Klaus' route was used to reveal Al's backstory, but that wasn't unpleasant to me. Rather, it appropriately stimulated my curiosity about what the hell happened between the two.

But the one thing that bothers me is, this conflict was only implied and not resolved in Klaus' route. And I'm sure that this will be covered in Al's route, then conversely, his route will be used as a stage for the conflict between the two. And I doubt if Solmare can do this well. I'm kinda worried that what if I end up like "I'm watching Al's route, but why is Klaus being shown more and his emotional line being emphasized more?" Well… I have no choice but trust the writer But really, I'm kinda scared. The conflict between the two is already serious, and Klaus finds out there's something between Al and Liz? While he has a crush on her? oh no

About the character Klaus… demanding, intimidating, sharp tongue, the manner of a superior… like that. In K1, his characteristics felt relatively emphasized since Liz was a novice provisional student. However, as she grew up after the cataclysm, the sense of hierarchy and vertical distance between the two was greatly resolved. But in my personal opinion, if I only consider characteristics, I'd rather give K1 a higher score. Of course it's obvious that K2 is much better as a romantic partner (compared to K1, I mean), but what can I say... it feels like his characteristics have also been diluted in the process of diluting all the negative elements of K1? Those elements are subtly revealed when dealing with other characters (especially Al), but well. This evaluation might change if I see Al's route later. Perhaps his behavior will be more severe and drastic than K1… I'm not sure though.

<Trivia> I don't have much time to post since the semester started plus translating takes more time than I think Anyway, I might start Hiro's route on Tuesday or Thursday, but I guess the upload term will be irregular. Considering that I have midterm in April, I'll probably not be able to finish Hiro's until May. huh

[galaxygamer40]

Hey there everyone, nice being online on Tumblr again! I have made a new character oc, this time for.. SCG Barbarian's Crafting Dead series!! I know it's a bit old, but I got into it again.. So here's the image!

I will try my best to update it, but also I'm into pokemon at the moment as well. You can can also ask me things to do, like try to draw something cool. But I'm not the best, so don't expect anything perfect!

Sydney Swans Qualifying Final Win Report Card

Big congratulations to the Swans for their victory over the Giants at the SCG. It did not look like happening for much of the afternoon, as GWS were on top for three quarters. The Sydney Swans Qualifying Final win report card must pay the ultimate honours to Isaac Heeney for his enormous four quarter effort. The blonde bombshell is all class and finished with 30 touches, 3 goals, and mark of the year. Heeney was on from the first siren and never stopped lifting his team over the victory line. At times he was a lone hand, however, and there were too many passengers this afternoon.

The Report Card For The Swans In Their Q Final Victory

Isaac Heeney AAA+ - Absolutely brilliant! Jake Lloyd AA - Produced a great game full of leadership at the clutch moments. James Rowbottom AA - The feisty heart and toughness of the Swans midfield who tackled hard all afternoon. James Jordan A+ - Stuck to his task all afternoon and was one of better players over 4 quarters. Dane Rampe A - Showed leadership and occasional dare from the back line. Will Haywood A - Classy forward who finished well when he got his opportunities. Tom Papley A - Got better as the game went on and won some vital contests when it really mattered. Braeden Campbell A – Was terrific when he came on as the sub in the last quarter and made a massive difference. He should have played the whole match. Harry Cunningham A – Was the best defender all game and showed composure when it mattered. Brody Grundy B – Tried hard all afternoon and made a contest. Got better as the match wore on. Chad Warner B+ – Had a great last quarter and helped the team get it done. Errol Gulden B – Was well held for much of the game but never stopped running and contributed a lot in the final term. Logan McDonald C+ - Never stopped running, trying, and although could not provide any aerial power did kick a great goal. Joel Amartey C – Poor performance but kicked an important goal at the death. Hayden Mclean C – Failed to mark anything and was poor as a forward. Lewis Melican  C+ - Lacked composure down back but did a few good things too. Tom McCartin C – Tom was pretty average and did not always provide solid defence. Nick Blakey C+ - The Lizard lacked his usual mercurial dash and panache but never stopped trying. Ollie Florent C – Not his usual high standard and we missed his run for most of the match. Matt Roberts C+ - One of his poorer games and maybe did not handle the final’s pressure as he would have liked. Luke Parker C – Luke was not at his best. Justin McInerney C – Jazzy needed the run and was never quite with it. Callum Mills C – One of his poorer efforts and the final’s atmosphere was beyond him. This season has been a fail for him due to the time out with serious injury from a recreational activity. Coach Longmire shared post-match that Mills had a gastro complaint going into this clash.

Sydney Beat The Giants But Tall Forwards Go Missing The Sydney Swans tall forwards and big men, more generally, were crap in the air. The GWS controlled the aerial game to the detriment of the Swans. Hayden McLean needs to give more and show more desperation to win contests. Amartey and McDonald are young, but also, must lift, if the Bloods are going to win the Premiership. It is a tough ask when you cannot take contested marks around the ground and especially in the forward line. Marking and contesting aerially is about positioning and somebody needs to teach these guys how to position themselves properly. Swans Defence Were Pretty Ordinary Against The Giants Harry Cunningham was great and gave a four quarter effort. Dane Rampe had good moments and was composed when it mattered. McCartin and Melican tried all night but were rattled at times and off their best. Nick Blakey has had better games but gave effort all match. The Swan's defence have not been top notch all season and will need to do a lot better to win the Premiership. The defence coach at the Swans has been pretty ordinary as adjudged by the results.

Qualifying Final Win By Swans Thanks To A Special Few The Sydney Swans Qualifying Final win report card indicates that they won this game on the back of towering efforts by a few of their senior best players. Heeney, in the main, Warner in the last quarter, Lloyd, Cunningham, Rowbottom, and Campbell in the final segment of the match. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-08/braeden-campbell-stars-for-sydney-swans-after-death-grandfather/104324814 The Bloods must have more winning contributions from more players in the coming Preliminary Final. Paul Roos used to say the defining difference for Premiership winning teams is the performance of their bottom 6 players in the 23. The Swans need a big lift from at least 18 of their 23. Now, is the time for all these players to give more. Don’t waste 2024! Getting The Offence Vs Defence Balance Right Modern AFL football is about getting that balance between offence and defence right. This sounds simplistic but it impacts how you win the ball and how you defend when you don’t have the ball. Effort and belief drives your performance in winning contests but how you are set up around the ball determines second efforts and whether you win the ball back. GWS were better at systematically linking up around the ball to distribute effectively down the ground. Too many times Swan’s players did not support their team mates via second efforts to win contests. Why I don’t know, perhaps John Longmire does? Good teams hunt the ball in packs. Think of Collingwood last year at their best. GWS did this far better than the Swans in this Final. The Swans must rediscover this team attack if they are going to go all the way in 2024.

Around the ball ups in the midfield if the Swans did not win the initial contest they had no plan B. This is driven by the amount of offensive vs defensive structure in these set ups. Sydney need to have more than James Rowbottom creating pressure on opponents around these centre bounces. Tom Green and co were able to break away too easily in the first 3 quarters of the game. GWS were real good around the ball. Chad Warner is an offensive weapon but he was well held for most of the match. I expected more from Luke Parker to nullify the GWS midfield and to get hard ball gets out to the outside runners – this did not happen. Conclusions To Be Drawn Longmire shared post-game that Amartey rolled his ankle and nearly did not play. Mills had a gastro bug and was not at his best because of this. Braeden ‘BJ’ Campbell lost his grandfather during the week and was carrying a bit of an injury, which was why he was not selected in the 22 and was the sub instead. https://twitter.com/sydneyswans/status/1832554440043213114?ref_src=twsrcgoogletwcampserptwgrtweet Taylor Adams may have a door opening for him on the basis of the poor efforts by many Bloods in this stirring come from behind victory. Robbie Fox might be in a similar position on this basis. The big holes in this last gasp winning performance were: Not enough winning contests over 4 quarters by too many in the side. A lack of aerial power to mark and spoil all over the ground. More pressure on the ball by all members of the 23 for 4 quarters. Poor positioning by the tall forwards in marking contests. How about making a plan like intentionally kicking short to contest so that forwards know to get out in front? Be predictable to assist their efforts wherever possible. Getting the offensive vs defensive balance right at centre bounces. Give more, like there is no tomorrow, because in 2 weeks’ time this will be the case.

AN INTERVIEW WITH GARETH FINNIGAN FROM DUNDAS LITTLE THEATRE’S AN INSPECTOR CALLS

I have had such an engaging experience interviewing many cast members this season for Dundas Little Theatre and this final interview for their 2022-2023 season is no exception! I had the pleasure of a virtual interview with actor and cast member Gareth Finnigan who discussed his passion for theatre, how his education shaped that passion and the ways in which J.B. Priestley’s An Inspector Calls continues to resonate with audiences today.

SCG: What inspired you to audition for this show?

GF: I worked with our director George Thomas a number of years ago here at Dundas Little Theatre when I was in high school. He emailed me asking if I’d be interested in the part, and I almost Jumped at the chance. After graduating from theatre school, especially because of COVID, I’ve had difficulty finding work. So, when George emailed me, I realised what a great opportunity it was to be able to practise my craft after such a long time on hiatus.

SCG: As a graduate of the University of Windsor Theatre program, how has this education shaped you, and what plans do you have for theatre in the future?

GF: My time in the University of Windsor’s BFA Acting program was and will remain one of the most important times of my life and my acting career. I wouldn’t be where I am today without it. I’ve made lifelong friendships, and the training has propelled me to a level I would never have reached without it. It taught me how to be efficient in my process and to support my ensemble, whilst maintaining a fervent level of professionalism in the rehearsal space.

My plans for theatre in the future are, first and foremost, a paying job. However that happens is alright with me.

SCG: What have been some challenges in bringing your character to life, and how have you overcome them?

GF: One of the main challenges I’ve had is deciphering the in-between moments for Eric. There are many times in the play when I’m not saying much, except for one-line responses here or there, and by the time my line comes, I need to be in the right mindset to deliver, given the circumstances of the play. It’s almost more difficult having such long spaces between lines than it is to have a whole lot to say because you need to be so specific with how you feel in the moment for the line to come out right. Whereas if you get lost during a monologue, there’s always more text to keep you on track. The long silences could trip me up if I’m not careful.

SCG: What have you learned about yourself as an actor throughout the rehearsal process, and what have you taken from the experience?

GF: A big lesson I re-learned during this process was the value of listening on stage. It’s been so long since I’ve done a straight play (as opposed to a musical), and I found myself forgetting to listen during rehearsals as I was too concerned with remembering what I was going to say. I found that once I let go of that and listened to my fellow actors, there was so much more ease in my movement, delivery, and performance. Acting is about reacting, after all, so I’m glad I had this opportunity for that lesson to be hammered back into me.

SCG: For those unfamiliar with “An Inspector Calls,” how will this show speak to audiences in the Hamilton area or audiences in general?

GF: Despite being written in 1945 and taking place in 1912, this show is very timely in terms of what it says about society today. It promotes community and empathy for others in a time when the oligarchs and bourgeoisie were rapidly stripping that from our lives and forcing a hyper-individualist attitude onto everyone as if that were the only way to live. It exposes the very real consequences of prioritizing profit over people’s lives as the common folk suffer under the boot of capitalism. I can’t think of a more timely theme. It’s quite amazing how many things are said in this play that can directly translate to issues we deal with today.

Audiences will see that the people living in provincial England in the early 20th century were asking the same moral questions of themselves as we do in present-day Hamilton and I think that’s really important.

Thank you so much Gareth for this virtual interview! Your intriguing and relatable insights definitely give audiences a sneak peak into this production starting April 21. 

Look for my full review of An Inspector Calls coming soon!

Different Pages, From the Same Book

by SpaceCadetGlow

Izzy only shares Edward and Bonnet's bed when asked. Still, it shouldn't have taken him so long to notice the old caning scars that Bonnet bears. It doesn't make sense, based on what Izzy assumes about Bonnet's comfortable life before running away to sea. But as Edward says, everyone has their scars.

Edward sighs. “Iz. Do you want to keep doing it? The three of us, I mean?”

Izzy’s guts start to roil and churn at even the suggestion of taking it away. He still doesn’t know what they are, doesn't think he and Bonnet are anything at all, but he’s never needed to put a name to things like this before. He checks his posture, stands up straighter. “Yes, captain,” he says.

Edward stops to think, his mouth doing something complicated, eyes flicking down to the desk and back up again. “Boarding school,” he says, trailing the quill along the edge of the desk. “You want to know more, you ask him yourself.”

I Asked AI About The Sydney Swans & Their Season

The Sydney Swans AFL team made the finals in 2023. This was an achievement, as for much of the season injuries and form conspired to make this look unlikely. In a hope that AI might have some answers, I asked AI about the Sydney Swans and their season. So, John Longmire, if you get the chance to read this, may there be something of use in what Chat GPT had to say on the matter. Personally, I was a bit impressed, as the copy was not mere waffle on the topic but had a few pertinent points to make. Of course, my question contained the necessary qualifications to hone a reasonable answer.

Questioning Chat GPT Regarding The Sydney Swans

“The Sydney Swans' journey through the 2023 AFL season has been characterized by a mix of achievements and challenges on the statistical front. To position themselves for a shot at the premiership, the team needs to strategically address key areas for improvement while capitalizing on their existing strengths. One notable strength of the Sydney Swans has been their defensive prowess. Throughout the season, their backline has consistently demonstrated a strong ability to intercept opposition plays, showcasing exceptional reading of the game and accurate disposal. This defensive foundation provides them with a solid platform to build upon. To maximize this advantage, the team should focus on maintaining defensive discipline, minimizing turnovers, and efficiently transitioning the ball from the backline to the midfield. However, a closer look at their statistics reveals potential vulnerabilities. One area that requires attention is their midfield performance. While the Swans' midfielders have shown flashes of brilliance, their consistency in winning contested possessions and clearances has been lacking. This hampers their ability to gain control of the game's tempo and dictate play. Strengthening the midfield will be crucial for gaining an edge in close matches, as it allows for better supply to the forward line and restricts opponents' scoring opportunities. Additionally, the forward line has been somewhat inconsistent in converting opportunities into goals. The team must address this by refining their forward structures, improving accuracy in front of goal, and enhancing synergy between the midfielders and forwards. Developing a deeper pool of scoring options will make them less predictable and increase their overall offensive potency.” - (Chat GPT, 26th August 2023)

I asked AI about the Sydney Swans

Swans Lose To Melbourne at SCG Round 24

Picking this post up following the Swan’s defeat in round 24 at the hands of Melbourne. Once again, Sydney could only stand up for 3 quarters. In those quarters they were mighty in many regards. Luke Parker was giving it his all. Errol Gulden was fantastic with 2 goals and 42 disposals. Chad Warner was at it all day. Callum Mills played one of his best games in 2023. James Rowbottom was mighty. However, the forward line let the team down in front of goals with a lack of composure. Isaac Heeney tried hard but was under enormous pressure all day. It was the old story, if you don’t take your chances and score maximum points it makes winning tough games unlikely.

More AI Advice For Team Sydney Swans “To enhance their premiership prospects, the Swans need to invest in player development and tactical flexibility. Building depth across all lines ensures they can weather injuries and fatigue that inevitably occur over the course of a demanding season. Moreover, having players who can seamlessly adapt to different positions and roles adds a layer of unpredictability to their gameplay, making them harder to strategize against. Team cohesion and leadership are intangible yet pivotal aspects of a successful campaign. The Swans should continue nurturing a positive team culture, fostering camaraderie among players, and empowering emerging leaders to take charge both on and off the field. Strong leadership bolsters morale during tough times and galvanizes the team towards a common goal. Lastly, the coaching staff's ability to adapt to varying match situations is paramount. Swift tactical adjustments during games can be the difference-maker, particularly against strong opposition. Analyzing opponents' strengths and weaknesses, as well as analyzing game data to identify patterns, will enable the coaching staff to formulate effective strategies that exploit opponents' vulnerabilities. In summary, the Sydney Swans have the foundation to contend for the premiership in the 2023 AFL season, but they need to address their midfield consistency, forward line accuracy, and cultivate tactical flexibility. Strengthening these aspects, coupled with a resilient team culture, adaptable leadership, and astute coaching, can propel them to the pinnacle of success. It's the holistic approach that integrates statistical analysis with strategic planning and intangible factors that will ultimately position the Swans as formidable premiership contenders.” Chat GPT - (Chat GPT, 26th August 2023)

Swans Vs Melbourne: Useful Takeaways From The Match It was better a performance at centre bounces by the Swans in terms of winning the ball by the midfield. Well, for 3 quarters it was anyway. Bigger bodies in Petracca and Viney won out in the end in that last quarter all over the ground. How did Bailey Frisch kick 5 goals and who was on him in that last quarter? It was a poor defensive performance by the Swans in this key regard. Tom McCartin and Dane Rampey gave their all and tried hard all day. Unfortunately, Harry Cunningham made a few poor disposal errors during the game, but he never gave up. Robbie Fox was good and gave his 110%. The Swans lack size and muscle in defence and around the ball. There were questionably umpiring decisions which went against the Swans in front of goals for Melbourne. The inconsistency around dropping the ball when the ball is knocked out in the tackle is galling. Razor Ray made several decisions against the Swans and did not penalise Melbourne players for exactly the same thing. It spoils the game, in my opinion. Are the Swans fit enough? Is this the issue in their going missing in last quarters? Is it physical fitness issues or mental concentration and application problems over the journey? Melbourne hounded them out of the game in the final quarter and Adelaide thrashed them in the last quarter the week before. There have been around half a dozen or more examples of losing last quarters where Swans players go missing in the contest.RSH Too many lightweight players unable to make their physical presence count when it really matters. Jake Lloyd has been a great player for a longtime and yet lacks size and power in key defensive contests. Dylan Stephens is an outside wingman but must put his head over the ball more.

Chat GPT Recommendations For Sydney Swans AFL Team To Win CB Ball “To enhance the Sydney Swans' midfield performance and win more ball from center bounces, several strategic and tactical adjustments can be considered: Positioning and Timing: Proper positioning is crucial for winning center bounce contests. Midfielders should focus on getting to the right spots at the right time. This involves reading the ruckman's taps and anticipating where the ball will land. Quick reactions and a strong sense of timing are essential. Ruckman-Midfielder Connection: Developing a strong understanding between the ruckman and midfielders is vital. Ruckmen should communicate their intentions to midfielders, indicating where they plan to tap the ball. Midfielders can then position themselves accordingly to take advantage of these taps. Variation in Ruck Taps: Ruckmen should vary their tap directions and techniques to keep opposition midfielders guessing. A mix of short, long, and taps to advantage can disrupt the opposition's setup and create opportunities for the Swans' midfielders to exploit. Contested Ball Focus: Winning center bounces often comes down to contested ball situations. Midfielders should be prepared for physical contests and focus on their body positioning to gain an advantage over their opponents. Good use of the body and positioning can help them gain first possession. Teamwork and Communication: Effective communication among midfielders is essential. They should signal their intentions to each other, such as calling for the ball or directing teammates to certain areas. This teamwork ensures they're supporting each other and spreading the opposition's focus. Quick Ball Movement: Once the ball is won, swift and clean ball movement is key. Midfielders should look to move the ball into space before the opposition's defense can set up. Quick ball movement can catch opponents off guard and create scoring opportunities. Second Efforts: Center bounces are often chaotic, and the ball can spill to ground quickly. Midfielders who follow up their initial contest with second efforts can win crucial ground balls and maintain possession for their team.Chat GPT Skill Development: Improving skills like clean pickups, effective handballs, and accurate disposal under pressure is fundamental. Midfielders should train to perform these skills consistently, allowing them to make the most of their possessions. Adaptability: Different opponents and conditions require adaptability in tactics. The midfielders should be prepared to adjust their strategies based on the opposition's setup and how the game is unfolding. Analyzing Opponents: Prior to matches, thorough analysis of opponents' center bounce setups and tactics can provide insights into potential weaknesses to exploit. The midfielders can work on countering these setups effectively. Fitness and Endurance: Center bounces are physically demanding, requiring high levels of fitness and endurance. The midfielders should be well-conditioned to maintain their performance throughout the match, especially during crucial moments like center bounces. Simulated Practice: Simulating center bounce scenarios during training sessions can help midfielders refine their techniques, practice contested situations, and develop their decision-making under pressure. By implementing these strategies and emphasizing skill development, communication, and teamwork, the Sydney Swans' midfielders can significantly enhance their ability to win more ball from center bounces. This increased midfield dominance will contribute to better overall team performance and set them on a path towards success in the AFL season.”

Who will be the next Buddy? Yes, some of the above is pretty bloody obvious stuff but the Swans do need to consistently win more ball from centre bounces and stoppages. Second efforts demand greater fitness, flexibility, and strength. I think that the side could focus more on second efforts at stoppages. Goal kicking is a reflection of mental strength. Confidence breeds composure under pressure. In my observations I see a lack of belief in oneself contributing to misses in front of goal. My advice, fake it until you make it – Isaac Heeney.  Heeney is a beautiful kick of the footy but mental scar tissue from misses make him vulnerable to the pressure. Make your intention more powerful than anything else. Take a leaf out of Toby Greene’s book. All the Swan’s forward line must bite the bullet and make their intention unbreakable. Winning games of footy depends upon kicking straight. Winning the ball is one thing but kicking straight is the crowning achievement and one without the other is a waste of time. Go Swans! Robert Sudha Hamilton has been following the Swans since the bad old days when Gary Buckenara and, then, Barassi coached the team.

Top 2 Teams to Emerge as Qualifiers from Group A In ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022

The ICC T20 World Cup is one of the most-watched international ICC tournaments, drawing millions of cricket fans. Because of its fast-paced, action-packed, short-duration nature, many Fantasy Cricket fans enjoy this game format. After months of anticipation, the 2022 T20 World Cup kicked off this week.

The T20 World Cup in 2022 has already produced some memorable moments. Namibia's upset of Sri Lanka was the highlight of Group A, as was UAE leg-spinner Karthik Meiyappan's magnificent hat-trick against the Asia Cup champions.

With all teams having played two matches, it is still unclear which two teams will advance to the Super 12s.

Scenarios for Group A Qualification: Who will succeed in making the Super 12s?

●    Netherlands

★ 4 points

★ Net Run Rate: +0.149

★ Final Match-Sri Lanka

The Netherlands moved into first place after a thrilling win over Namibia on Tuesday. They pulled off a similar run chase against the UAE two days earlier, reaching the modest target of 112 in the 20th over.

The Dutch bowled beautifully and held their nerve in crucial moments. However, even though they are at the top, their qualification is far from certain. Sri Lanka now has a higher net run rate than Scott Edwards' team following their dominant win over the UAE. As a result, any defeat against Sri Lanka will leave the Dutch relying on the UAE to defeat Namibia.

If they win, they will finish first in their group and advance to Group 1, which currently includes Australia, New Zealand, England, and Afghanistan.

●   Namibia

★ 2 points

★ Net Run Rate: +1.277

★ Final Match: UAE

Namibia suffered a heartbreaking defeat against the Netherlands, especially considering David Wiese and JJ Smit batted only nine balls between them. Despite the loss, Gerhard Erasmus' team is still in good shape to qualify due to their high net run rate. The equation is straightforward: beat UAE by any means necessary.

The earlier game features Sri Lanka and the Netherlands. If both Sri Lanka and Namibia win, they will advance on net run rate because they are already ahead of the Netherlands' +0.149. Who finishes first or second is also determined by the net run rate. Sri Lanka will be eliminated if the Netherlands and Namibia win.

●   Sri-Lanka

★ 2 points

★ Net Run Rate: +0.600

★ Final Match: Netherlands

After a hiccup against Namibia, Sri Lanka now controls their destiny. They will qualify for the Super 12s if they defeat the Netherlands. Which group they end up in is determined by the margin of victory, as well as Namibia's performance against the UAE. If they lose, they will need UAE to beat Namibia by a large margin to qualify by miracle.

●    United Arab Emirates (UAE)

★ 0 points

★ Net Run Rate: -2.028

★ Final Match: Namibia

UAE can still qualify mathematically. But they require a miracle. First, the Netherlands must defeat Sri Lanka. Second, they must thrash Namibia by a massive margin to reverse their net run rate of -2.028 versus the African nation's much superior +1.277.

Our Verdict

Sri Lanka has not yet qualified for the Super 12 round. The results of the remaining matches will determine which team advances to the next round. To advance to the Super 12s of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022, Sri Lanka must win its respective game against the Netherlands.

The Super 12 stage kicks off on Saturday with Australia vs. New Zealand at the SCG, followed by England vs. Afghanistan in Perth.

Hey!

I think that Tatum is NOT uncomfortable...

He literally want that if you choose first option that you will bring Blaine....

Idk why so many people hating on everything.....

I hope you have good day/night !

Hey there, Anon!

It's not so much hating (I really like Tatum, too), but I think it's more along the lines of pushing these boundaries of someone whose top priority is to do their job.

To me, it reads uncomfortable because MC says or does certain things that would be fine if Tatum wasn't their bodyguard... but because he is, he could lose his job or be whatever the equivalent of being dishonorably discharged for fraternizing with their ward.

Two other points on a tangent:

1) I feel like something happened during Tatum's tenure in the army and he might have PTSD.

2) MC is literally a different person when doing scenes with Blaine. They're very forward with Tatum but almost become prudish with Blaine.

I appreciate the different dialogue and scenes from PB, but it's like MC has different personalities depending on the LI scene you're doing.

Thanks for the ask and I hope you have a good day/night as well!
