Head-2-Head-X / H2HX: Round Robin - R4 Wrap-up

A chaotic and impressive Round 4 has concluded after its one-week extension and sees a shakeup to the standings, with Soda Jerks jumping to the top of the leaderboard after a strong victory via Sea of Symphonies. The Lonely Hearts Club drop to second, but both teams now with 3 wins have certain paths to the Playoffs.

The Jazzcats climb two places into third after a commanding win with the record-breaking Screameasy that puts them in a promising position for a playoff spot, while the Hurricanes suffer a heavy bruising. The Dambusters and Evergreen Gardeners both felt the effects of a difficult loss too this round that puts them under the Play-Off cut-off with just one chance left to claw their way to a spot. Their face-to-face matchup in Round 5 will be the one to watch.

While two of the Play-off spots are now figuratively etched in stone, the bottom four teams have everything to play for, in what will no doubt be a tense round.

The last play of Round Robin is certain to be a heated moment, as four teams now have everything at stake and will be throwing everything they can into these matches. In addition, the Jazzcats have used all of their players at least once already, leaving their potential final lineup a total mystery.

As always, please refer to the deadline overview for the deadline in your respective time zone.

93 - Screameasy - really difficult to fault.

90 - Constellations - recently re-opened for the first time since submitting, I think where the plugin felt more natural like the wheel and house is the way forward for them in the game rather than the stand-out eclipse

89 - Sambhava's Rest - aka Uncharted 2 finale

87 - The Yards - favourite aesthetic so far, just wish the palette wasn't quite so dark, coasters were highlighted and the peep jam wasn't there

86 - Sea of Symphonies - favourite structure so far. Fun to see the Jerks try to wrestle Ethan into using some negative space and order, nearly there!

85 - Lostileth - good ol' fashioned honest skilled parkmaking

85 - Murder at McAllan - super strong narrative, harbour is stunning

84 - Bugs and Bots - a lot of fun, love all the movement and fight scenes

83 - Castello Altovento - the village is still my favourite area of any park, even post-Screameasy.

82 - Yucca Desert Park - really good narrative, innovation and very clean and polished

80 - Radio Park Tbilisi - I have a dislike of those rocks, but understand for round 1, the most traditional RCT park and notice more radio touches each time I revisit

80 - Troubadours et Baladins - there's some 90+ work in here, coaster pacing and some round 1 rush holds it back a touch

79 - Institute of Extraordinary Biota - love the theme, love the map edge. Leaves me wanting this over a 300x300 map

79 - Millenium Discovery Museum - so much content, so much fun

78 - Hell - best use of colour so far in the contest

78 - Buxom - can't get over my dislike of the palette, theme isn't one I personally identify with, although teeming with skill and atmosphere

77 - Void Extraction Research Base - I don't like space parks, just not my jam. The coaster painting station is epic

76 - Valley of the Kings - see above, both these maps seem a little sparse to me too

76 - Raveland - not a raver either! I have specific tastes I guess. Overall really high quality, just needed some central set piece to blow me away

75 - Wawel - faithful recreation, grand tour quali winner

74 - The Sailor - plan to view when I'm next drunk, may then move to #1

73 - Cirque Macabre - again, not a theme I vibe with, great coaster, haunted house pulls it down for me

71 - Base X - CTRs alone are fantastic, snow pops, just empty building and needing more content keeps it lower

70 - Naam Chalong Suu Oom - buildings along river next to the mine kart coaster are lovely. But too much messiness in the NCSO for me compared (unfairly) with the cleanliness of Age of Sail
