DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?

With a stunning come from behind victory @ryan (HIBA) has become the first ever 2-time KKUPFL champion. Down 12 fantasy points going into the last day he squeezes out the victory by just one point over @NolanM (Bell City Beauties). Ryan's rise over these past few seasons has been remarkable. From winning the fast track and getting himself promoted into Tier 1, to winning Tier 1 now in back-to-back seasons, Ryan is proving a force to be reckoned with. Will someone be able to step up to put an end to his reign next year in Season 10 of the KKUPFL?

CONGRATS TO OUR @KKUPFL S9 Champions!!!! 

🏆  🏆  🏆   🏆   🏆   🏆   🏆   🏆   🏆   🏆   🏆 

Full list to come. But for now, you will know the champs on Discord by their hard-earned and freshly golded usernames, fancy trophy emoji, and (I imagine) by their celebrating and boasting and bragging in the ⁠🏆champs-channel🏆. Yes, champs.. go there! Now! Rejoice! You deserve it!

Thank you to all 6️⃣ 4️⃣ 8️⃣  managers who played with us in KKUPFL SEASON 9. You're all champs to us (but some champier than others.. and also shoutout to the consolation champs).

Big things coming in KKUPFL SEASON 10. Stay tuned.

The KKUPFL Ultimate Championship is down to the wire!!!!!! 🙀 

Defending champ @ryan (HIBA) has clawed back within striking distance, but still follows @NolanM (Bell City Beauties) by 12 fpts at this exact moment. Nolan has stayed on top thanks to another out-of-this-world performance from Kirill Kaprizov worth 14.5fpts this afternoon.

Robert Thomas will be Ryan's last start at 8pm (but has Oettinger at 10pm if he plays back to back); Jonathan Drouin will be Nolan's at 10pm. 

We have Fast Track winners to announce!!

@Colin B (Prestige Worldwide) has guaranteed himself a ticket to Tier 1 in Season 10! Colin, from Team PJ and Tier 2 Ottawa, racked up 5926.55 fpts in 22 weeks, beating out all 647 other KKUPFL managers. Look out, Tier 1 Sweden..

Coming in 2nd is @Miller's Crosschecking (Myllys) with 5870.05 fpts, who has earned a pass from Tier 6 Gunilla all the way up to Tier 2 next season.

And, in 3rd, is @King with 5773.70 fpts from Team Chris and Tier 8 DeBoer. @King also gets to take the fast track up the pyramid to Tier 2 next season 🚆 

Congrats to you all! 

📣 KKUPFL PLAYOFFS ARE HERE!!

It’s true! We’re here! And even if you don’t think you made the playoffs... guess what, you probably did, because everyone ranked 1st to 12th has something to play for in the coming weeks 🤠

If you’re ranked between 1st-6th, you’re in your division’s championship bracket. If you’re ranked 7th-12th, you’re in your division’s consolation bracket. There are promotion and relegation implications through both brackets, so keep doing all you can to earn every point and win your matchup. 

Your final standings from the playoffs will determine where in the KKUPFL pyramid (and your journey to Tier 1) you’ll find yourself next year.

Best wishes to everyone on your postseason quests for KKUPFL glory!! 😤

Hamonic (7.5), Tuch (6) and Sorokin (9.5) all putting in great efforts for Ryan on Monday.. but outdone handily by Harrison's Hayton (12) and Palmieri (16.25) alone, plus his Hartman and Johansson  combining for 13.5 fpts vs Ryan's Grubauer (-3.3)

Ryan hasn't been able to make up ground so far tonight, even with Point's 13 fpt performance -- though Harrison's squad has +4 GP tonight, so that's probably a win for Ryan to just break even on a night where he's outmanned

Only Zibanejad (9.25) has really popped on Harrison's squad tonight.. some other decent performances but also some quiet nights, especially on the blueline
