It seems obvious not. Trelleborg was able to win without too much difficulty during this 3rd online session of the Farming Simulator League, the penultimate before the final final which was to take place at Farmcon 2020.
In the third online tournament, many teams had one last chance to improve their rankings. Because, during the grand final which will begin on July 26, the 16 best teams will compete in 4 groups for the title of world champion.
A participation record
With 47 participating teams, the third online tournament set a new record. From giant Trelleborg to outsider Frming cZArs from South Africa, there were players from all walks of life. It took more than 3 qualifying rounds, plus one round with the joker teams, to determine the final places. A hitherto unknown team has also slipped into this ranking: Honig Gäng. The latter, after a calculation of the total of points scored, takes directly 16th place in the general classification, despite its defeat against Trelleborg in the quarter-finals.
Despite the quarter-final defeat against JZD, the Krone team kept the 3rd place overall. In the semifinals, John Deere tried to put the points back on the i against Trelleborg. In vain, the tractor driver loses with 50 points difference. Now it was necessary to know who from Grimme or JZD was going to cross swords against Trelleborg in the final. And Grimme was able to win to seek revenge for DreamHack in Leipzig last January. Despite all the best efforts of Marci's team, Trelleborg played flawlessly, surpassing 800 points in the first game. The team leaves favorite for the World Cup at the end of July.
