That is because everyone else is being realistic
For someone who predicted 32-29 in your favor with 23 games remaining, even you think it will be close. I don't see how its "unrealistic" to say that we couldn't get a few games different then what you are predicting. But I guess we will find out in the next few weeks here.

Fallen has earned tons of respect by storming into the finals, lets keep it fun.
Maybe Josko means this year's CL? That would be slightly more controversial.
Not so controversial considering that S&M and TOFU are leaders after round 5 and in round 6 S&M is destroying TOFU in direct match for the top place
Quite controversial given that there's more clans and FOED still have a matchup against you. There's plenty of unconfirmed sets (such like ours, "destroyed" is not at all a term I would use). I think it's an insult to not only FOED and TOFU, but also all lower rated clans in the league to state you've practically already won, even if you somehow get 4 points vs us.

Funny how that works when you get + dice and go first in 11/16 games...but its not over yet.
going first (especially with highly competitive clans that both know maps well) is such a huge advantage. i think when it comes to great clans battling it mainly does come down to luck with mistakes being more rare. i wish there was a way to make the going first more balanced. i believe in this war with S&M vs Fall in round 2 they went first in 19 games with us going first in 11. Just makes it a bit of an up hill battle before any turns are taken. Of course, lucky dice can matter much more than who goes first. Just seems like it would be more possible to control who goes first being even (of course we could never control dice, those crazy little buggers that i love so much).
but mates, let's not get cocky. we could lose this war. and if we don't and truly deserve #1 rank, then there isn't a whole lot to talk about.

Off the top of my head I really can't see any obvious choice for us today. LoW would be very...fitting considering the history behind our clans, but I really don't know enough about LoW today to even remotely comment, nor do I pay attention to the clan-scene as Ice or Rock do, so hard to comment seriously.
S&M & TOFU merging would be extremely counterproductive for the scene.
That said (as has been discussed at reasonable lengh in this thread), if I would daydream about anything it would be smaller clans. A limit on membership. A merger is not even on the horizon.
Kort didn’t grab anyone; it was a mutual agreement between members of each clan; realistically, we needed each other to ramain competitive. It was a great fit and worked out well for us. Lots of discussions came into play prior to this merger. IA was even a candidate to come to TSM at one point.
