###Round 7 in Heroes Lounge and Super Sunday We are at the end of Round 7 here in Season 2 of Heroes Lounge. The date and the format of the Playoffs were already announced in a [blog post](http://heroeslounge.gg/blog/post/heroes-lounge-season-2-playoffs) and on our [discord server](https://discord.gg/GcUwud3). So, when we take a look on what has happened last week in Heroes Lounge, keep in mind, that the top eight teams of Division 1, the top five teams of Division 2, and the top three teams of Division 3 will fight in the end in a 16 team Double Elimination Tournament.
#####Division 1 The top positions in Division 1 have not changed during the last Round of Heroes Lounge. Rank 1 is still shared between [Gorge good Ult](http://heroeslounge.gg/blog/post/inside-lounge-gorge-good-ult) and FAT #5, the two teams of Division 7 who already won all of their games this Season. Currently on rank #3 is the team Natus Dominari who have taken down CoB Misclick earlier this week in a 2-0 series. On rank #4 at the moment we have last Seasons Heroes Lounge champion [No Trick Ponies](http://heroeslounge.gg/blog/post/insidelounge-no-trick-ponies) with 6-0 so far. The No Trick Ponies have still to face their Round 7 opponent, the Shishaboys, and have to win it, if they want to contest Gorge good Ult and FAT #5 on rank #1.
Gaming in the Rhythm are currently on rank #5 of the Division 1 ladder with a 5-2 standing in seven games. Closely behind them follow FalstadStillBugged who only have 6 Rounds in total due to one week not playing. However, they managed to take down Boosted Animals 2-0 in their Round 7 game. Another team quite safe on a Playoff spot is Blame The Healer who could have pushed themselves up in ranks if they would have beaten Gorge good Ult on last Super Sunday. Unfortunately, Gorge good Ult decided this series in a 2-1 for themselves. On the last Playoff spot at the moment, we have Team TFT who will be going up against the Stitches wants to Play this Sunday at 20:00 CET. Stitches wants to play, has to play … twice … this Sunday. Currently standing on rank #12 they can go up in ranks to a Playoff spot if they are going to win both of their matches this evening. One more team you should have an eye on is Lord of the Pings. Lord of the Pings are unbeaten thus far, but joined the league later and so they are two games behind others. However, they can achieve their fifth victory in a row if they going to take down mYinsanity this evening at 20:30 CET. #####Division 2 THE match of Round 7 was played this week on Wednesday between the top teams of Division 2: [Throw Inc.](http://heroeslounge.gg/blog/post/insidelounge-throw-inc) and [Team Solid](http://heroeslounge.gg/blog/post/insidelounge-team-solid). The result of the match clearly does not show how good this series actually was. Not only that we saw plays of both teams which would be worth to be shown on the big stage we call Division 1, but which made us wish for a third game in this match-up. Unfortunately, Team Solid lost the match 0-2 and are now on rank #2 of Heroes Lounge Division 2 with only Throw Inc. being on top of them. If you want to know more about both teams, do not hesitate to check out their [InsideLounge](http://heroeslounge.gg/blog/category/insidelounge) articles.
Also on Wednesday, we saw the game between Don Our Fedoras against OrderOfGul’Dan. Don our Fedoras – [who were in InsideLounge on Friday](http://heroeslounge.gg/blog/post/insidelounge-don-our-fedoras) – managed to take down OrderOfGul’Dan in a quite convincing way and so they placed themselves on rank #3 of Division 2. For now! There is still another unbeaten team in Division 2 – StarBoys. Currently they are placed on rank#4 with a 6-0 standing but they still have to fight their Round 7 opponent Balance of Interest to get back their spot in the top 3 of Division 2. There is quite a gap between these four teams already mentioned and the teams who are fighting for the last Playoff spot of Division 2. At the moment, there are in total four teams with four wins so far: * CoB Pyrotap (4-2) will play their match against FSN on Wednesday next week * Abatheurs (4-2) have still to find a date for their enemy TheMadScientist * OrderOfGul’Dan (4-2) have only 6 Rounds in total and are behind 1 game * iNsiders (4-1) have only 5 Rounds in total and are behind 2 games When both Abatheurs and CoB PyroTap will manage to win their Round 7 game, they will be able to increase the gap between them and iNsiders and OrderOfGul’Dan. It will be exciting to see, which of those teams will come out on top of the others to qualify for the Playoffs of Heroes Lounge Season 2. #####Division 3 In Division 3, matchmaking still was not good to us. On ranks #1 and #2 we have Chirand and the Silver Plebs both standing at 7-0. Silver Plebs managed to take down Low Fat Gamers this week, and Chirand the Potatoes 007. There are four more teams right now fighting for the last Playoff spot. Unfortunately, they are not playing each other this week. Currently on rank #4 we have MEDIOCRIS who could manage to win against KievBomzhes this week, but already lost last week against Stormstout Brewery.
Stormstout Brewery can get to rank #3 today if they are winning their Round 7 game against Beginner A.I. at 20:00 CET tonight. Up In Smoke and [Blackhearts Booty](http://heroeslounge.gg/blog/post/insidelounge-blackhearts-booty) are both currently sitting at 6-0 and still have to play their Round 7 game. Up in Smoke will face Besatt eSports on the 31st of January at 21:00 CET. The match between Blackhearts Booty and Fast Transition was not scheduled yet. ##### Super Sunday In total, we have eight games for you today, from 5:30 pm CET on.

###"True" ladder!? Since, the Playoffs are coming closer, and in the end multiple teams are on the first sight on the same rank, we have to talk about tiebreakers. On the website we are ranking teams as follows: 1) number of Wins 2) for same number of Wins, the number of games! That means, teams with 6-1 are higher ranked as teams with 6-0, although they won the same amount of matches. But what happens when after all still more than one team are on the same rank? Although, no final decision was made on the system, an additional way of ranking teams would be their map win differences. So, we have taken a look on the top teams of each Division to show the teams standing, if we would rank them according to their won and lost maps. #####Division 1
#####Division 2
#####Division 3
###Statistics: Player, Picks, and Maps Last week we showed you already showed some of the statistics we could manage to get out of all of the replay files you uploaded after your matches. Since the feedback was quite good and we were told we should be doing this more often, we compiled all the replays again up to Friday last week. Something new we were interested in were the amount of picks of different maps, Which were played more often than others.
Apparently, there are three very popular maps in Heroes Lounge matches: Infernal Shrines, Tomb of the Spiderqueen and Cursed Hollow. The least played map is Warhead Junction. What is the reason for that? Is it too large, is it because it is the newest map? Tell us why!
