State of the 4545 League

by @SpiteKnight

We have team 'All You Need is Luft' as undefeated leaders going into the seventh round of the League. They play team 'Poisoned Spud Variation' this round, who are breathing down their neck in second place.
LoneWolf Season 11 has commenced, you can register for it here. We also have the results of the LoneWolf Season 10 survey here. Glad to see that everyone had a very good experience participating in the same, and we would like to thank all the LoneWolf mods for working hard to make it so. Except when they're sleeping, which is always.

We also have a user contribution from @skmjonas, a graph showing the number of active LoneWolf players, each quarter since its inception.
