Only the final is called the World Series. How you gonna call a team the world champion when the most of the world are not even involved.

"MLB" is the league's name, not tournament's name. And yup, exactly, it's called MAJOR League Baseball. Not American Baseball Premier League or American BigBash/Friendslife blah blah league. It's the MAJOR league open to all professionals from all countries.
All in all, the World Series does sound a bit arrogant in baseball, but applies more appropriately to MLC than MLB and it does make it more prestigious than just calling "American Baseball/Cricket League."

- From this round Super Over will be introduced. All ties will be broken by Super Over. (If some crap goes wrong with the Sim, like it does some times with 1 over game, it will be broken with the wicket counts)
- NRR from this games will decide the home-away for Championship games.

How do you expect to win something that is greater than life if you can't beat a hurricane?

Man, Travis Birt is worse than Mushfiqur Rahim, but watch, he'll kick Bond's and Hassan's buttocks when it matters most. Why Birt why?

Home field advantages has been applied and skills have been unlocked. Home team Allstars now have up to 5 unlocked skills. As always won't won't go into details with this. But expect some high class performances from the world class players in this great occasion.

That's the toughest question, ever. (Honestly, I moved away from my MLC-unbaised chair and thought about it, I couldn't ans it.)
Based on the batting we have seen so far, it looks pretty even-steven, even with home field advantages to the Pirates. Bowling wise too. One line up is filled with MLC leading performers and other is filled with big names. But I think Pirates edges the Tyrants on this. With Warner, Kohli and BBM, fielding will have to be TT, no doubt. But Pirates do have Hussey.
We'll see.

Congratulations to Miami for going through to the Championship! Well done. Shakib and KCC, you guys have been an outstanding side through out the tournament. It it sad to see yet another strong side crash out, but it wasn't meant to be. Best of luck next season.
KCC finish the season 3-3.

Gayle wasn't enough. I thought Gayle alone would finish the job. But he fell way too early. When he was out KCC was only half way through. Last few overs were bowled by Afridi and Starc and they gave nothing away.

That was a very weird game. Condolences to KCC, too bad guys like Gayle and Al-Hasan won't be featuring in the rest of the series. On the other hand, congrats to Miami for toppling a formidable opponent and making it through.
Fingers crossed for PP vs TT.
