Hello friends! After a 3 year hiatus, I am able to devote enough time to the forum to revive Dream Theater The League!
For those of you new to the format, each week we randomly match up Dream Theater songs against each other. After X amount of weeks, we take the songs with the best records and pit them against each other in one or multiple tournaments.
The theme for this year (years?) is "The Bigger Picture". Gone (for now) are the divisions that were featured in the past couple of league years. Now we're throwing all of the songs together. Featured for the first time in this format will be all of the Non-NOMAC songs of The Astonishing as well as the songs from the brand new album, Distance Over Time! Together with all of the studio songs, and some of the unreleased songs, that brings our number to 152.
Since we're going bigger, there will be 35 Weeks in the regular season instead of the usual 20!
The list of songs we're using is as follows:
1. 2285 Entr’acte
2. 6:00

Each of the 152 songs will face 35 other songs drawn at random. After 35 Weeks, we'll have album tournaments. After the album tournaments, the top 64 songs will advance to a single elimination tournament to crown the Champion of the League!
I will be making updates to this thread as we progress. So please check back early and often.
This will be a long endeavor, and probably won't end until the calendar says 2020.... but it's all about having fun.
And keep spinning Distance Over Time.... getting to know those songs.... because we'll be starting very soon!
If there's any questions or comments, please comment away!
-
Hell yeah!! I'm so ready for this. Missed a lot of the ones from previous years.
-
Hell yeah!! I'm so ready for this. Missed a lot of the ones from previous years.
Good to hear! Should be fun.
-
Oh man I missed this. Can’t wait to participate again.
-
Wait a fucking minute, it's been three years already? Wow.
-
And suddenly Polls & Survivors springs into life again! Should be fun! And enormous. 152 songs = 76 matchups a week = 4 groups of 19 matches. Works out rather neatly in that sense. But yeah, I'm beginning to get a sense of the magnitude of this thing.
Another advantage I have this time is that I have more of the albums. I have all the studio albums aside from WDADU. And tbh, I'm minorly tempted to pick that up now, if only for the completist in me.
-
Wait a fucking minute, it's been three years already? Wow.
Now wait a minute man....
:lol
I'm in :metal
-
DOC, my brother, I'm sooooo game.
-
Awesome :metal
-
Very good news!
-
Thanks all for the feedback. Should be a lot of fun. Hopefully we can generate some good discussion during the matches. Always neat to see songs from different albums/era matched up.
-
I'm still going to keep half an eye on little things like aggregate records. The format has changed a few times, but even when we had the divisions, the matchups were still drawn at random, and even though the regular season is longer now, it's still largely the same format.
That being said, Octavarium enters the season with an unbeaten run stretching way back to the Semi-Finals of the 2013 Championship Tournament. As far as the regular season goes, it has an aggregate record of 80-0. It's going to be fascinating watching the season unfold.
-
Soon.....this story ends where it begins...
-
Count me in, these were always fun - I'll try to remember to keep up with it until the end this time :lol
-
And here we go!
https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=53559.0
-
Will we be keeping an eye on vote differential to rank songs with equal records?
-
With so many songs and no divisions....I don't think I'm going to, Take the Time to calculate differentials, especially when a 3-0 song with wins over say, Cover My Eyes, Vacant & Status Seeker would have a more impressive margin of victory than a 3-0 song with wins over In the Name of God, Surrounded & The Glass Prison.
I will post defined tiebreakers, but most likely won't calculate them until seasons end....or perhaps once every 5 or 10 weeks.

-
lol Octavarium is a tier 3 song
-
Overture 1928 has the biggest win of the first week, with a 36-0 shutout of Regression.
-
And this is why I can't consider margin of victory in this format. Learning to Live scored the biggest win in week one....buy Overture 1928's margin of victory was much, much higher.
-
As sports leagues enjoy a good stat or two, it'd be cool to chip in with some as the season goes on.
Seven songs from Distance Over Time won their opening match. That's a very impressive showing for an album that's only weeks old as far as our experience of it is concerned. That beats Images and Words, which has six winners, while ADTOE has five.
-
It all depends on what songs they are matched with. Standings after week 1 really don't mean much. A whole bunch of songs in Tier 1 could lose the match the following week and just the opposite for some Tier 3 songs.
-
None of this means much, really, in the grand scheme of things. It won't mean much after week 35 either. But we still do this because we enjoy it, because we're interested to see who will win the championship. It's like most football leagues. You know deep down that the title's going to be contested between three or four teams max, but it doesn't stop the rest of the league from happening and us taking an interest in it.

I want to know which song has the highest WAR.

So it was a legitimate vote? I'm good with that. Would rather someone prefer The Walking Shadow to 8VM then to learn that someone messing with the polls for no good reason.

Three songs from the latest album already in the lead, not bad for d/t!
No real suprises in the first group but it's nice to see Our New World and The Path that Divides there... also I'd say no major headscratchers in the songs with 2 defeats.
-
Little idea for a fun sweepstakes mini-competition: How many songs from The Astonishing do you think (please note that) will get into the top 64? We currently have eight. (Hell's Kitchen is currently in the 64th position in this list as it stands.)
I'm gonna guess...six.
-
Ravenskill and A New Beginning have most chances I'd say.
-
also I'd say no major headscratchers in the songs with 2 defeats.
The Enemy Inside and The Killing Hand should be higher I'd say...

I don't remember the match ups, but "The Killing Hand," "Only a Matter of Time," and "Ytse Jam" being 0-2 is quite a surprise to me.
(Hell's Kitchen is currently in the 64th position in this list as it stands.)
"Hell's Kitchen" is currently tied with 60 other songs for 46th place

Three songs off d/t continue to be in the lead!
Pity that Speak to Me and Raise the Knife can't get any but I assume their status as almost forgotten songs works against them. And also Astonishing (the song) getting always defeating, woe!
EDIT: Didn't notice that Build Me Up, Break Me Down is in the lead. Positively surprised since I guess I'm in the minority in appreciating as well the simpler side of DT. Or probably it was just up against Raw Dog and Another Won :lol

I think the vast majority of folks on these boards know the songs pretty well. I think their 0-3 record is more an indication that they're not very good songs -- especially since, for the most part, they didn't exactly have difficult matchups. RTK lost to Pale Blue Dot, which seems to be high on most folks lists of favorites from DOT, but it also lost to not-very-highly-regarded songs like Disappear and The Shattered Fortress. Speak to Me couldn't even beat The Great Debate or A Life Left Behind, and its other loss was to Erotomania.

I always thought RTK was held in very high regard.
In fact, I distinctly remember many people saying when they heard it...."This should have made it onto FII instead of Lines in the Sand"
-
Even though Lines in the sand is considered a classic by many, I would agree with that. But then again, I would actually exchange plenty of FII songs for the ones that can only be heard in the demos.

I'll see the silliness of my question once I'll have it answered I'm sure, but.... why Lie and The Mirror are on their own in a 4-0-1 category? if they won 4 matches and lost 1, shouldn't they belong together with the bunch of songs that come immediately after?

"4-0-1" means 4 wins, zero losses and 1 tie. The Mirror tied with Surrounded during week 4, and Lie tied with Caught in a Web during week 3. Neither song has lost yet.
-
Ah, ok, thanks. I assumed in my head a wins - draws - losses order, so I couldn't figure out why the draw was marked 0.
-
That's 'murrcan sports for ya. Ties/draws are not as frequent as in British sportsball.

Through My Words actually won?!
As it happens, this is TMW's first time competing in the main tournament of DT the League, so while this is its first ever win in the competition, it's only had seven opportunities to win a match. It did partake in the 2016 pre-tournament Outsiders' Survivor.
-
I'm surprised Blind Faith managed to win them all so far and that Only a Matter of Time didn't get any, Through My Words got a win even before that song! Ok, I understand that the pairings might be easy / hard on the songs, but still, I thought by now OaMoT could get some.
Also, S2N so far is the leading track of the latest album... and Erotomania is the leader of the instrumentals, 7 times out of 7 so far it was judged better with a song with actual singing, but I know I'm in the vast minority on this forum considering an instrumental song, as beautiful as it might be, as starting with the "handicap" of not having a singer :D
-
I'm not surprised at all about Blind Faith and Only a Matter of Time. What's surprising to me is that SDOIT has a loss and TCoT doesn't after 7 weeks. ???
-
I'm really surprised about OAMOT and not at all about Blind Faith. This also marks my 25th year of being surprised that people like Lie and The Mirror -- in this case enough that neither song has yet lost.
Perhaps the most baffling thing about the results thus far is that New Millennium is 6-1.
-
The Mirror is the song that, after four months of listening to it, made me realize that Dream Theater was cool and started the avalanche effect that turned me into a fan.
And yeah, New Millennium being in the lead is baffling, probably it didn't have fierce competition....
-
Why did I miss this until now????
-
And yeah, New Millennium being in the lead is baffling, probably it didn't have fierce competition....
Yup. I've had a look through, and New Millennium has beaten the following classic, powerhouse DT songs:
Light Fuse and Get Away
The Way it Used to Be
A Fortune in Lies
Forsaken
Begin Again
When Your Time Has Come
Its defeat was to At Wit's End.
-
Man that Week 1 matchup really fucked Octavarium.
-

The Way it Used to Be

Forsaken

When Your Time Has Come

In what world are The Way It Used to Be and any song from TA either "classic" or "powerhouse" songs? Or did I overlook the sarcasm font?
-
New Millennium is my 3rd favorite track from FII. That song is amazing, and the breakdown is absolutely goosebumpy.
The Mirror has always been a top 10 DT track from the day I heard it. Its only achilles heel is that it is attached to Lie, which is really not good.
-

Ah, this is why communicating by text alone is not always the best idea.

I know I'm in the minority on this, but no way A Life Left Behind is the best song on The Astonishing to the point that it's in the lead above anything else.
Nice to see the competition going and the results being more and more spread out!

So, I know there are tiebreaking rules and it's not up for personal choices or further rounds, but if it were to end today, only four of these songs would go to the next phase? I'll highlight my personal preferences for this group:
Along For the Ride
The Great Debate
Lost Not Forgotten
The Ministry of Lost Souls
A New Beginning
Our New World
Out of Reach
Outcry
The Path That Divides
Ravenskill
The Root of All Evil
Sacrificed Sons
Three Days
To Live Forever
(Yeah I know I selected five songs, I'm undecided between Ministry and Three Days)
-
I'm kinda surprised Hell's Kitchen beat Outcry. A short instrumental prelude to LITS off one of their less-liked albums vs one of the big epics off ADTOE.

We've only made it through a quarter of this "league's" "season," so things will likely change rather significantly over the remaining 26 weeks. That said, of the songs you listed, the four I'd take are Along for the Ride, Outcry, Sacrificed Sons and either Lost Not Forgotten or The Root of All Evil.

I’m really not too surprised. HK is a very well-liked and classic DT instrumental. I don’t think Outcry has reached that level of popularity. Don’t think it matters what album they’re on.

I know that it depends on the pairing, but I'm surprised that Blind Faith and S2N are up there in the lead.
It looks also like the "black shirts" (last ones) group is consistent, I wonder if some of those songs will ever get a win, maybe when paired against each other... or if they could score a win against the ones with just one victory.

I'm surprised S2N is undefeated (also a little surprised about TTT). Not at all surprised by Blind Faith.
As far as the winless group, I suspect A Rite of Passage You Not Me and Light Fuse and Get Away will each get a win or two eventually (even Repentance has managed three wins!). The rest of that group consists of tracks from TA, FII rejects, False Awakening Suite, Regression and Raw Dog. I would expect those songs will only get wins if they're matched against each other.
-
Not at all surprised by Blind Faith.
Agreed. Blind Faith is a masterpiece.
I am surprised at how some of the TA songs are faring against each other though. For instance, I can't believe that Moment of Betrayal is wallowing in the depths alongside a stinker like Hymn of a Thousand Voices. Also surprised that Begin Again and My Last Farewell are down there with 2285 Entr'act. Probably just speaks to how the better songs off of TA stack up against the rest of the catalog... which in turn, make me confounded to see A Life Left Behind tied with Stream of Consciousness (for instance). Very interesting!

I would say that S2N and Trial of Tears stand a better than average chance of being defeated by any number of songs (same for The Mirror, which, while not in the 1.000 tier, remains bafflingly undefeated). The rest of the songs aren't likely to lose unless they are matched up against each other

The Bigger Picture slipped away from the 64 finals slots? can't be!
So, Scarred kicked away Trial of Tears from the top, and Finally Free couldn't manage to pull Blind Faith down. Let's see what will happen next!
-
Also, let's take a look at how the new songs are doing:
S2N (13-0)
At Wit’s End (12-1)
Fall Into the Light (11-2)
Barstool Warrior (10-3)
Pale Blue Dot (10-3)
Paralyzed (8-5)
------------------
Untethered Angel (7-6)
Out of Reach (6-7)
Viper King (5-8)
Room 137 (2-11)
Songs below the line, as of now, would be eliminated.
Did you expect these results? Viper King, the oddball bonus track, isn't last, S2N is actually leading with a perfect score, and Fall Into the Light is ahead of the praised Barstool Warrior and the epic closing track.
-
I think that lines up pretty well with my expectations. I'm a little surprised that Out of Reach is doing so poorly and I'd personally put AWE ahead of S2N, but those two may yet sort themselves out going forward.

Nothing too surprising about this.

I'm surprised there are 5 songs with 3 or fewer losses, but it's all about the match ups. I'd be interested to see which songs S2N has defeated.
-
S2N's road to 13-0
Week 1 - Defeated On the Backs of Angels 22-13
Week 2 - Defeated Dystopian Overture 24-7
Week 3 - Defeated The Ministry of Lost Souls 23-14
Week 4 - Defeated Three Days 26-11
Week 5 - Defeated 2285 Entr'acte 31-2
Week 6 - Defeated The Killing Hand 20-14
Week 7 - Defeated Begin Again 31-2
Week 8 - Defeated The X Aspect 25-7
Week 9 - Defeated Light Fuse and Get Away 31-4
Week 10 - Defeated Outcry 21-13
Week 11 - Defeated Eve 24-9
Week 12 - Defeated Heaven's Cove 26-5
Week 13 - Defeated Untethered Angel 23-6
So yeah, pretty easy schedule. Hasn't faced a song from many of DT's highly regarded albums.
With all of that said, I expect S2N to be 13-1 after this week.

So yeah, pretty easy schedule. Hasn't faced a song from many of DT's highly regarded albums.
With all of that said, I expect S2N to be 13-1 after this week.
Yeah...6 songs from TA, one of the worst songs from one of DT's worst albums, a b-side non-album track. Those were gimmes. The wins over OTBOA, TKH, LFAGA, Outcry and Untethered Angel were legit.
Given that not every song will get a chance against every other song and given that there is a large number of cupcakes (the TA songs and the non-album tracks -- only one of which I think is currently in the top 64), strength of schedule really ought to be a thing.
-
Yeah, S2N hasn't been up against a lot of heavy hitters yet.

It's starting to get lonely at the top. The Mirror still holds on :metal
In the probably least interesting derby of the entire tournament,. Act of Faythe defeats Losing Faythe and will keep at least one victory!
-
Amazingly, Blind Faith is the only MP/JR era song still undefeated.
-
There's so many matchups here that you often miss something. I just noticed that Through My Words, all 62 seconds of it, beat the 10:44 of Repentance. And my mind is blown. I know Repentance is not one of the most-liked DT songs, but then TMW is seen as a throwaway prelude to Fatal Tragedy, so it's still a big shock.
Honestly, this thing needs a website of its own, with stats and whatnot. I sometimes wish I could click on a song and see its matchups.

I know Repentance is not one of the most-liked DT songs, but then TMW is seen as a throwaway prelude to Fatal Tragedy, so it's still a big shock.
Honestly, this thing needs a website of its own, with stats and whatnot. I sometimes wish I could click on a song and see its matchups.
You can just do a page search within this thread. It's only four pages at this point.
I consider Repentance the single worst song DT has recorded, so it's really easy for me when it comes up to vote for the other song. That Repentance has the same number of wins (3 - False Awakening Suite, A Better Life and Enigma Machine) as Only a Matter of Time is one of the greatest mysteries of the modern world.

As I said before, some votes are just to "punish" a song. Someone doesn't like a song, like AT ALL, and so "literally anything else" becomes a better option.
If I remember correctly someone voted for The Answer against A Change of Seasons. Is it possible that nothing in the 23 minutes of ACoS is worth more than the barely two minutes of The Answer? surely, but as I said these kind of votes are done on principle. "I don't like this song at all - literally any other song will do".

Yay, You Not me and The Answer get finally a win!
It would be curious to see how the benchkmark for going into the top 64 fluctuates from week to week, and which songs are in or out with each passing week. Right now This Dying Soul is the first of the eliminated songs, and the ones which come immediately after are all songs I'd like to go on.
Also, concentrating on something that nobody cares for, but it's fun to find overlooked statistics: the race between the FII leftovers is as follows:
Raise the Knife has 4 wins
Speak to me has 3 wins
Cover my Eyes, The Way it Used to Be and Where Are You Now are stuck at the very bottom with 0 wins.
I agree with this, RtK and StM are the best of the leftovers, let's see if the other three will eventually get a win sometime, but I assume that those two songs in the "lead" won't be caught anymore by the other three.

Keep in mind that the songs against which RTK and STM got wins are anything but powerhouses.
RTK defeated Through My Words, Prophets of War, Enigma Machine and Where Are You Now? (one other FII reject a transitional piece from SFAM and two very poorly regarded songs)
STM could only manage wins against another FII reject (The Way It Used to Be) and two songs from TA (Losing Faythe and Hymn of 1000 Voices).
If anyone cares, I would vote to exclude some of these bottom feeders from future versions of this leauge so that every song can match up against every other song.

Random fact, that you could attribute some deep meaning to...I'm not gonna stop you...We have 26 songs with ties to their record so far. But none has tied more than once yet.
-
Also, Images and Words it's the only album with two songs still in the lead - and they were three up until the last round!
And now for the addendum "random stuff nobody cares about", here's the standings of the AA saga songs:
The Glass Prison (13-3)
The Shattered Fortress (11-5)
The Root of All Evil (10-6)
----------------
This Dying Soul (8-7-1)
Repentance (3-12-1)
As of now, the songs below the line are eliminated.
I wouldn't have imagined that Shattered Fortress were two difficult matches away for TGP from the leadership - I thought it would do much worse, a lot of people seem to complain that it's "just" a mashup of the older themes with hardly new stuff!
-
The worst performing song off of Images and Words is Wait for Sleep at 12-4. Awake and Six Degrees is the only other albums where every song has a winning record.
-
The worst performing song off of Images and Words is Wait for Sleep at 12-4.
Which means that the "worst" song off Images and Words is still rated higher than *anything* from the following albums:
When Dream and Day Unite
Black Clouds and Silver Linings
The Astonishing
We should cross-check the other albums but gut feeling is that there's no other situation where the least rated song of any other album is above the best song of another album.

It would be for Awake and TA, except for The Silent Man (and probably also for SFAM but for Regression).

In my unrequested commentary of the week and focus on a certain kind of songs, here's how the instrumentals are doing!
Songs below the line, as of now, would be eliminated.
Erotomania (15-2)
Hell’s Kitchen (13-3-1)
Overture 1928 (13-4)
Stream of Consciousness (12-4-1)
The Dance of Eternity (12-5)
-------------
Ytse Jam (7-10)
Dystopian Overture (6-10-1)
Eve (6-11)
Enigma Machine (3-14)
False Awakening Suite (2-14-1)
2285 Entr’acte (2-15)
Raw Dog (0-17)
I'm surprised at Hell's Kitchen being almost at the top - yeah, it's good but the first half of the song was a Burning My Soul leftover, and the best part of it was written just to tie in to Lines in the Sand. Sure, intentions don't matter if the ending result is good, but I thought the other three qualified instrumentals would all fare better.
There's also a big divide between the for-now qualified songs and the for-now eliminated songs - the instrumentals which are liked are doing VERY good, the other ones are all way, way below the qualification point and all very unlikely to ever catch up with the first 64.

Week 18 standings have only the D batch of matches.
First loss for The Mirror, alas, it's still at the top obviously but now it slides back behind the other songs with just one loss (but no draws).
Speaking of sliding back, I remember when New Millennium was at the very top - now it's almost there on the brink of being eliminated.
Which brings me to this.... how many songs do you all think are all realistically in the run for qualifications? I mean, math probably says that even You Not Me has still a chance, but being realistic - how many songs of the immediate group or groups after the 64th position could make it, at expense of those immediately above?
Outcry, Wither and This is the Life were both one victory away from entering the top 64, and the group following after (the Beneath the Surface one) is two victories behind, that doesn't seem impossible. And also the group of Behind the Veil is in the same boat, being bagged only by a draw. So I say that the first 83 songs COULD have a chance somehow, not all of them of course.
Looking at the group of 84-97 I already start to see songs that, while being good, are not universal fan favorites, and I can't imagine them doing that much better in future matches.
So I'd say that unless you're not aboard the 7 victories and 1 draw train, from down there you're screwed. Never say never of course but I don't see any of those songs from 84 onward being able to outperform 20 songs above them.
-
I’m pleasantly surprised by how well Panic Attack is doing. With only two losses and being at the same place in the standings as Take the Time and Surrounded, two songs from the band’s most universally loved album, it’s success in the league thus far is making me very happy.

I'm surprised at how many WDADU songs have a sub-.200 winning percentage. Everything else in that category appears to be right where it belongs. Still amazed that The Mirror only has one loss. Hopefully, loss #2 comes this week at the hands of Finally Free.
-
The Mirror is their best heavy, concise song so it deserves to be up there :metal
As I previously said, I wonder how many songs could be realistically still considered running for the top 64. I don't think any song beyond the 80th position have any chance, and those in the .447 range have a hard road in front of them already (they're 3 victories behind).

Needless to say, I disagree about The Mirror, but my status in the minority is pretty obvious.
As for the other songs, I think it really depends on what their competition has been to date and what the upcoming schedule is. I'm not sure if DOC has mapped this out ahead of time or whether schedules are generated weekly, but I think there's still a reasonable possibility for some big moves. Take Ytse Jam for example. If I remember correctly, it was winless for the first several weeks, but now it's 8-11, so there's no reason it couldn't go on another run -- particularly if it gets matched against a bunch of TA songs (I think only one of which is currently in the top 64) and FII rejects (none of which are even in the top 99). If my quick math is right, those two chunks of poor performers make up over 20% of the songs in the competition.

Yes, unfortunately the only realistic way to make sure all matches are fair is to have a poll of every possible matchup but of course that is entirely impossible due to time and space constraints. But I was thinking like you when I kept seeing some of my favorite songs matched up against heavyweights.
-
I think the two biggest surprises for me are Another Day being 17-2 so far, and Light Fuse and Get Away is 0-19. The latter one has had some close matches the past few weeks, but seems to lose by 1-3 points every time.
-
The match-ups are completely random and generated all at once before the season starts. Sure we could do 151 weeks and have every song face every song. But what we're doing here is for entertainment purposes not so much finding the definitive ranking from 1-152.
Besides, we all know there's only 4-5 songs with a legitimate chance to win it all.
-
In an ideal world, the burden of a total and complete matchups of every song all against all should fall on a computer, with us partecipants logged on a platform and voting all together.
I admit I fantasized about it for previous survivors, how would it be to be all logged to the same platform and voting continously thanks to a computer :D
-
Besides, we all know there's only 4-5 songs with a legitimate chance to win it all.
I’d say just four: Metropolis, Learning to Live, A Change of Seasons, and Octavarium. Breaking All Illusions always dominates in the regular season, but it can never get past the four aforementioned songs in the playoffs. Until it can take one of those songs out in the playoffs, I feel it can’t be considered a contender (which is a shame because I like it more than Metropolis and Learning to Live).
EDIT: I honestly think this is Learning to Live’s year anyway. Once it took down Octavarium (the defending champ of the past three Leagues) in week one, it’s been running through the competition, and unless it matches up against Metropolis or A Change of Seasons, I don’t see any really possibility of it taking a loss.
-
I still think BAI has more of a chance than 8VM. Not so sure about Metro, LTL & ACOS though. Hoping that BAI takes it all this year. It would be well deserved.

EDIT: I honestly think this is Learning to Live’s year anyway. Once it took down Octavarium (the defending champ of the past three Leagues) in week one, it’s been running through the competition, and unless it matches up against Metropolis or A Change of Seasons, I don’t see any really possibility of it taking a loss.
But once we get to the knockout stages, anything can happen. 35-0 means nothing if it gets eliminated in the semi-finals.
-
The Bigger Picture had a victory and still it didn't move from its slot, tethering on the edge of the 64th slot... granted, it all depends on what the songs above do, if they all win, a victory from behind doesn't change the rankings, but it shows that it's getting harder and harder for the songs behind to come back.

Nice to see At Wit's End survive a stern challenge from The Mirror. Just checked back to find AWE's only defeat, and (perhaps surprisingly) it was to Lifting Shadows off a Dream, 19-17. I thought it might have been to one of the five Immortals, but nope...
-
Yeah, the top dogs are all on a winning streak so that when someone loses, it falls quite hard - The Mirror went from 7th to 30-ish or so... it's the songs behind that seem to have a lot of catchup to do; the positions around the 64th and last available slot for the finals are spreading thin and fewer and fewer songs seem to be able to catch up.
I still think that The Silent Man is the last song that could have hopes of making the cut, but I'm starting to think that I'm being optimistic and that even just being two victories behind is starting to become a big gap.

Will The Mirror catch a break? it seemed it could do no wrong, now it looks like it can't do any right :biggrin:
I keep saying that the Silent Man group is the last one with hopes of entering the Top 64, but it keeps staying behind. The Bigger Picture however is finally putting itself at veeeery relative safety, and Ravenskill is just hanging there.
-
I'm having a look at Blind Faith. 22-0 so far this year. In 2016, it went 4-15-1, although that was with the Division format in play, competing in Division 1 against all top-tier songs. In 2014, the last year without divisions, it finished 17-2-1, which is a bit closer to this year's record.
-
At least the very last matches for Blind Faith were quite easy. I can't remember the last time that song defeated another powerhouse.
-
Here are the songs that The Mirror defeated:
Caught in a Web
Losing Faythe
Sacrificed Sons
Another Day
Ravenskill
Hollow Years
Status Seeker
Through Her Eyes
Bridges in the Sky
Moment of Betrayal
Ytse Jam
The Enemy Inside
The Answer Lies Within
A Life Left Behind
Lifting Shadows off a Dream
Eve
A Rite of Passage
Those songs are currently a combined 177-212-7 - .373. The biggest win was against BITS, which is 20-2, followed by Another Day at 18-4. It also tied Surrounded, which is at 19-2-1.
The Mirror lost to real heavyweights: Octavarium, Finally Free and Voices. It also lost to At Wit's End.
Here are the songs that Blind Faith has defeated:
The Looking Glass
Pale Blue Dot
Lost Not Forgotten
Honor Thy Father
Three Days
Misunderstood
Space Dye Vest
Barstool Warrior
The Ones Who Help to Set the Sun
Our New World
Act of Faythe
Finally Free
Heaven’s Cove
Untethered Angel
Prophets of War
Take Away My Pain

The Mirror continues its free fall, while The Silent Man finally cracks the top 64!
First victory for The Way it Used to Be, the list of the 0 victories is becoming once again thinner... only six songs remaining wearing the black shirt of the tournament!
-
Yep. Four defeats in a row for The Mirror. After Week 19, it was 11th in the rankings. Now it's tumbled down the leaderboard to joint-43rd. If it doesn't get a win in soon, its place in the Finals could be under serious threat.
Another intriguing thing is that it frequently winds up in the same tier as Lie, the song it segues into on Awake.

Blind Faith finally lost to a derby out of all matches! I'm rooting the most for Ravenskill and The Silent Man to get back in the top 64.
Just like this week, next one I'll be on holidays, so I'll vote when and if I remember to do it from the smartphone. For sure I won't comment with all the choices but know that I'll be one of those casting the votes still :D

Just ten rounds left in the regular season. 1 or 2 wins for the n-0 songs will surely confirm their places in the Finals.

I actually just updated the standings to reflect playoff berth/playoff eliminations starting with Week 25.

Wow, we're almost getting there! I assume the number of eliminated and promoted songs will increase with each week by now....

I actually just updated the standings to reflect playoff berth/playoff eliminations starting with Week 25.
Have you determined the tiebreaker process yet?
If two songs have the same winning percentage
Tiebreaker 1 - Head to head victory.
Tiebreaker 2 - Best winning percentage against common opponents.
Tiebreaker 3 - Strength of victory.
Tiebreaker 4 - Strength of Schedule
Tiebreaker 5 - Most points scored
If three or more songs have the same winning percentage.
Tiebreaker 1 - Head to head records (if all songs faced each other).
Tiebreaker 2 - Best winning percentage against common opponents.
Tiebreaker 3 - Strength of victory.
Tiebreaker 4 - Strength of schedule.
Tiebreaker 5 - Most points scored.
Edit - Will forgoe Tiebreaker #2. Would be entirely too time consuming.

Looking at those in danger and currently right behind the 64th slot I hope Behind the Veil, The Silent Man and A Better Life pull through. I'd take them over Paralyzed and Shattered Fortress which currently are elbowing for the last remaining slot.
At Wit's End has the same record so far of Octavarium! wild! excellent result from a newcomer....

Blind Faith and Octavarium slide down, leaving the 4 giants at the top more and more on the lead!
And 4 are also on the bottom, now the only "black shirts" songs are an instrumental never appeared on an album, an intro half spoken, a short interlude and a leftover from FII. The first three are kinda "excused" given the nature of the songs, it's Where are you Now that is the most complete song of them all (regular lenght with vocals) and yet failed to win whatever passable match came at it.
We also see a bunch of song desperately clinched to the 64h and last remaining slot... and I'd gladly sacrifice them all for some songs coming right behind such as The Silent Man, A Better Life and Behind the Veil.
-
With how close the 64th-place area is, it does feel like there will still be playoff berths to play for when we reach Week 35. And we're agonizingly close to getting what will possibly be The Astonishing's only Finals representative in A New Beginning. As for the latest album, Distance Over Time, we already have three guaranteed entries, with a further three currently above the 64th-place tier, and one right in that group. We could have potentially seven D/T songs in the Finals.
-
Yeah, sad to see that A Better Life and Ravenskill are struggling so hard and they seem to not even see the next-to-the-64th slots.

Wow! just two songs qualified, but a big bunch of other got eliminated!
I hope that A Better Life, Behind the Veil and The Silent Man pull through somehow. The places in the middle should be more volatile - it's the top that, once lost, is harder to climb back, when are Blind Faith and Octavarium, for example, gonna climb back some positions? when Scarred and Six Degrees lose a match, easier said than done.
Another example is The Mirror, which I'm fond of because it's the song that started the avalanche effect of making me interested in DT - after having a losing streak it managed to start win match after match again, and yet it doesn't climb back more than its position because basically all the songs above win as well.
-
Octavarium can't shake off the losses it has, so at best it will finish 33-2. I guess the only way it can move "up" to joint-2nd is if there are no 1-loss songs at the end of the season, meaning we jump from 35-0 to 33-2.
-
Man, the Astonishing songs have really had a hard time, looks like A New Beginning is the only one currently in the top 64. I'm not the biggest fan of the album and I know lots really hate it, but some of the individual songs are great and it's a bit of a shame to see some of the best ones so low. I wonder if that could be partly down to some voters not having heard certain songs that often because they never listen to the whole album at all, since they dislike it that much. Though I suppose you could say something similar about the non-album tracks and maybe WDADU too.
-
Indeed, I figured that A Better Life, Ravenskill and When your Time has Come (classic DT ballad, I daresay better than Along for the Ride) could have a chance of being considered "normal" songs, but evidently only A New Beginning's solo could be the reedeming factor of the song, and of the album as a whole it seems...
(I don't even like ANB that much, but the solo section carries the song as far as consensus goes)
-
Panic Attack clinching a spot almost makes up for Octavarium taking two losses this year.

Week 32 is underway
-
The entire Images and Words album has qualified - in the same round that it took ONE song from The Astonishing to qualify. D'uh.
Behind the Veil, The Silent Man and A Better Life are all songs I want to qualify and prevail over those from the 60th place downard (The Bigger Picture excluded), but they're 2 victories behind and there's only 4 rounds left.......
-
Since last week's results got posted late, we already know that some of the songs that haven't qualified or been eliminated have won or lost this week:
Winners: Lifting Shadows (this win may clinch), The Root of All Evil, The Ministry of Lost Souls, Surrender to Reason, Behind the Veil and Through Her Eyes.
Losers: Untethered Angel, Innocence Faded, The Enemy Inside and A Better Life
The Bigger Picture managed a tie.
We probably lose another 4-5 TA songs this week.
Whispers on the Wind remains winless, and Raw Dog is losing big. Unless I missed it, Where Are You Now? should show up in round 32-D tomorrow.
-
DoC will confirm any such things when this week's results get posted at the end of the week.
-
I do enjoy it when people post/speculate/share their opinions and predictions. Makes it more fun.
-
I'm a little bit surprised that Wait for Sleep has as good a record as it does (23-8). It's a fantastic track, probably the best of their sub-3-minute tracks, but still, it is only 2:31. It must have beaten a good number of more substantial tracks. Good on it!
-
DoC, I would just like to say thank you for the incredible amount of time and energy you put into this. :clap:

I also hope that, out of this, you take some genuine pleasure like if it was an hobby. I mean, there are people content with spending 5 hours building a ship inside a bottle. As an amateur photographer, I spent a lot of time organizing photos from the holidays and deciding how many albums should I post, how to divide the photos, which ones to keep and which ones to discard etc etc..... I hope you take actual fun in looking at your spreadsheets and see how the things evolve from week to week!
-
Absolutely! It definitely is a fun hobby for me. It can be a bit of work, but I think it's worth it.

After the end of the regular season we will have the following:
- Song Tournaments for each individual Album
- Band Member Tournament
- Album Tournament
- Championship Tournament for the top 64 songs at the end of the regular season.
The order of the individual album tournaments will be determined by reverse order of percentage of songs qualified for the Championship Tournament. The exact order could change between now and season's end. This will prevent us from going through the albums in order, and will also allow us to get through TA early while the other tournaments are going on versus waiting for it to finish after all the other albums are done. The current order is as follows:
WDADU – 0/8 Songs .000
TA – 1/29 Songs .034
DT – 1/9 Songs .111
ToT – 1/7 Songs .143
SC – 1/7 Songs .143
BC&SL 1/6 Songs .167
ADToE – 2/9 Songs .222
FII – 4/11 Songs .364
8VM – 3/8 Songs .375
DoT – 4/9 Songs .444
Awake – 6/11 Songs .545
SFAM – 8/12 Songs .667
SDoiT - 6/6 Songs 1.000
I&W – 8/8 Songs 1.000
This is the schedule that we're going to attempt from now until Championship Match. If we fall a bit behind, no big deal, but I'd love to wrap this baby up by year's end. Bonus points if we end before 6:00 on a Christmas Morning!

15 playoff spots remaining, and 29 songs fighting for them with 3 weeks remaining.
The Path That Divides had a decent start to the season. 4-1 after 5 weeks. I guess the fact it got as far as Week 32 before being eliminated is some form of consolation.
A Better Life and Ravenskill remain the last TA songs in the hunt for a playoff berth, but at .500 they are perilously close to being eliminated. It's win or bust for them.
Thanks for posting a schedule, DoC! I am honestly amazed that we have a chance to finish this before the year is out. I assume the extra tournaments have no bearing on seedings for the Championship tournament, right? Once the top 64 are sealed, that's it? The extra tournaments acting as an interlude between the regular season and the playoffs.
-
I assume that for the whole group currently at 73-78 it's either win or die. If they're next in line to be eliminated, I can't imagine a defeat will still keep them running at the end of this week. Which is a pity 'cause there are many nice songs in there!
-
Depending on what the 62-65 songs do, those songs in 73-78 could be eliminated even with a win. They could find them selves 3 back with 2 to play.
-
Ah, indeed, I forgot about that. It's gonna be a miracle that either of those songs make it through.

Somehow, I missed this post!
Yes, the tournament seeds will be locked after the regular season. I don't think it would be right to include the Album Tournaments since they will be uneven to say the least. For example... Another Day & A New Beginning are currently tied. A New Beginning may rack up 4 wins in The Astonishing Tournament, while Another Day may be eliminated in the first round of a much more competitive Images & Words tournament.

We have a podium at the top!
And basically it all comes down to these:
Caught in a Web (20-13-1)
On the Backs of Angels (20-13-1)
This Dying Soul (20-13-1)
This is the Life (20-13-1)
.588 Winning %. Songs 63-64
Lost Not Forgotten (20-14)
New Millennium (19-13-2)
====================================
.574 Winning %. Song 65
Behind the Veil (19-14-1)
.559 Winning %. Songs 66-69
The Bigger Picture (18-14-2)
The Enemy Inside (18-14-2)
The Shattered Fortress (19-15)
Surrender to Reason (19-15)
Meh,I'd gladly have anything of the currently safe ones except Caught in a Web and On the Back of Angels lose to Behind the Veil and The Bigger Picture.
Ironic how four songs from the self titled are clinging by the skin of their teeth to the qualification train. Dream Theater (the album) could bring a lot of songs forward, or lose most of them in a single (and final) swing.

That Sacrificed Sons was eliminated while New Millennium remains in the hunt is a travesty!
I'm also a bit surprised that This Is the Life is still in the running.
Hopefully, NM will be eliminated. I otherwise have no strong feelings one way or the other as to which of the "bubble" songs make it and which don't (although I have a fairly strong preference for CIAW).
-
Yeah, feel bad for Sacrificed Sons :-[ Always loved that song.
-
Distance Over Time has six representatives in the playoffs. Very impressive for a new album.

Not surprising, though. I suspect if the matchups were identical, if this were done a year later, it wouldn't fare as well.

Thanks for all the detailed reports! :tup
It sucks that The Bigger Picture is the first of the eliminated ones.
I assume the four divisions named after the band members are composed going in circles around the top 64, right? #1 song gets the first slot in the first group, the second song the first in the second group and so on.
-
Nice job DoC!
These are the songs I'm most bummed about not making the top 64:
The Enemy Inside
Sacrificed Sons
A Nightmare to Remember
Three Days
The Path That Divides
The Gift of Music
Moment of Betrayal
When Your Time Has Come
My Last Farewell
Mainly Astonishing tracks, even though the album itself only sits around the middle of my rankings.
-
Thanks for all the work you put into this!
-
I assume it's the case that we will find a champion in each division before they come together for the tournament semi-finals and final.
In which case, with ACOS and Octavarium in the same division, the latest they could possibly meet is the Myung Division Final. I feel like ACOS vs Octavarium was one of the more likely Grand Finals.

Octavarium’s matchup luck has been abysmal. It’s pretty much guaranteed to have to face ACoS in the playoffs after having suffered losses against Metropolis and LtL in the regular season.

I'm fairly sure that the matches between these songs have always been reasonably close, and this time round, Octavarium wound up on the wrong side of a closely-fought matchup. Octavarium vs ACOS (assuming we get there) is surely too close to call. Could go either way.

The 64 songs Championship Tournament starts in roughly 26 hours.
-
Metropolis vs. Learning to Live was the only final contended until the last vote! anything can happen if they'll meet again...
-
Learning to Live was the only non-No. 1 seed to win its album tournament, and even that was just by 1 vote. The SFAM Championship went a similar way, but even with that the losing song was the No. 3 seed.
Looking forward to the upcoming playoffs!
-
Can I suggest placing an asterisk next to match results where the host breaks the tie? Just to indicate on the records that that was how the match was decided, rather than a regular 1-vote win.

I think if if 8VM replaced 6DOIT this would be the top 4 everyone expects. Am I wrong in saying 6DOIT is (generally) one of the less liked epics?

I’m okay with this final four. Octavarium isn’t in my top 50 of DT songs let alone top four.
-
I like 6DOIT, but I am disappointed Breaking All Illusions didn't get through. I can take a small crumb of solace in the fact that 6DOIT vs BAI was the closest of the matchups.

A surprisingly quick and successful forum search has produced something I've been longing for for ages, an archive of previous winners of the Dream Theater Survivors prior to the start of the League format in 2013. So we are able to effectively produce a DTF Wall of Honour.
https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=3364.0 (https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=3364.0)
The only slight problem is, 2012's results are not included. However, I definitely remember the 2012 Survivor happening, and I'm 95% certain that Learning to Live was the champion that year. If someone else could possibly confirm that, that would be awesome. Meanwhile, just ahead of the official crowning of 2019's DTF Champion, and for ease of reference, the DTF Wall of Honour:
All are Survivor tournaments, unless stated.

Well, it's basically like real life sports matches between heavyweights of their respective sports. The strongest teams always reach the end, and the actual winner is determined by luck, coincidence or the exceptional performance of the top player. Here I guess it depends on how many people actually vote on the given day of the poll.

A Change of Seasons is the 2019 League Champion!
Finishing a combined 41-0 and beating Octavarium, Learning to Live & Metropolis on the way to the championship makes for one of the most impressive performances we've ever seen!
Thank you to EVERYONE who played along all year. Special thanks to those of you who left comments in the polls and in this thread. Ya'll make this a worthwhile endeavor.
I won't be running a DT League in 2020.....perhaps in 2021. If someone wants to run a DT Survivor, feel free. In the meantime, I'll be running leagues for Haken & Metallica. Should be fun.

A Change of Seasons returns to the top step of the DTF podium for the first time in 6 years, adding a fifth title to its championships of 2005, '06, '07 and 2013.
Congratulations and thank you to DoC for hosting this wonderful forum tradition, and to everyone who's posted to the discussion.
Time to update the total records. In 2016, I calculated that season's top 8's combined regular season records from every iteration of DT the League. Something fascinating from the update is that we now have a joint-leader on the all-time table, Octavarium's 2 losses this season bringing it level with ACOS.
A Change of Seasons - 113-2
Octavarium - 113-2
Breaking All Illusions - 109-6
Learning to Live - 109-6
Metropolis - 108-6-1
Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence - 105-9-1
Scarred - 98-14-3
Home - 96-16-3

Ditto! Thank you!

Calling out the template geeks, wouldn't be fun, as a memento, to recreate with a bracket template generator the whole round of 64 that concluded the League? to have a visual representation of the road to the final match.

I just saw the thread name is A Change of Champions. I read first the normal song title and thought "why put it in the title?"

ACOS rules! An extremely well deserved champ! Thanks DoC for running this. Can't imagine all the time and effort that goes into it. I was getting exhausted just from voting every week. :lol

Thanks, DoC!
