Week 1
Last season then there was a feeling that something missing was Netnazgul's weekly Frontline reports. I don't think I can get anywhere near to that level of quality and play my matches but I wanted to publicise some highlights for anyone to catch up on. I'm also aiming to do this in a spoiler-free way, so that you won't know whether to expect an epic tier three struggle or an MCV-sell all-in. If you want to watch more games then they're all available (along with the current score boards) on the RAGL site: http://ragl.org/
Week 1 has seen the standard number of Masters delays, and there has only been a single match. Consequently Happy vs Goat is the Masters highlight for this week:

Re: RAGL Season 10 Weekly Highlights
Week 2
I thought the start of season Masters delays would be over by now, as players must be fairly familiar with the maps. However this week has seen no games in Masters at all - an achievement not seen since Season 5. Fortunately there have been quite a few Minions games (particularly in Minions Alpha), so this week we have:

Re: RAGL Season 10 Weekly Highlights
Week 3
This week the Master's players collectively decided to take a break from RAGL, so there were no matches. This is now officially the slowest start to a season ever for Masters and has equalled the longest spell without any Masters matches (which was in Season 5).

This week also featured someone breaking Goremented's perfect record (I'll leave out the exact details to preserve a bit of suspense if you've not watched it). In addition game 2 of this match was entertaining, and it narrowly missed out on a spot above:

Re: RAGL Season 10 Weekly Highlights
Nice work, thanks. Glad to see this is kept going. I might even watch some of these myself 
Unfortunately, the rules for match scheduling only made the continuity of such endeavor worse as Masters games aren't played until the end of the season...

Re: RAGL Season 10 Weekly Highlights
Week 4
After several weeks of delays I was expecting to write about more records being broken in Masters, but on Saturday three of the matches were played. This combined with the general quality of some of the Minions games means that we've got a bumper pack of highlights.
Masters Match of the Week
KSK_Nico-Mr Cloudy (Masters)
Game 1: http://ragl.org/replay/200a3aefbf4ba702 ... 39c14a5f34
Game 2: http://ragl.org/replay/cf766aa00aca44d5 ... 49cc3d6eb5

Bug announced the second game of this match as his "new favourite most hated game of all times", so it's automatically a highlight.

Game 2: http://ragl.org/replay/84b936868fb24583 ... 9ad7e5fefa

Game 2: http://ragl.org/replay/8c3a0e53386e12f2 ... 2200506a3e
Finally I also wanted to include this game which was good enough to be Match of the Week last week, but got slightly drowned out by the quality of games this week:

Week 5
We're roughly half-way through the season now, and the big news this week is a new playtest! Consequently for this week I've included a mention of which playtest you need to watch each replay with.
Masters Match of the Week
Three more games for us this week as Blackened, goat and Sigil play their three matchups. For me this was the highlight:

Re: RAGL Season 10 Weekly Highlights
Week 7
"As we head towards the end of the season we're now experiencing a sudden surge in Masters games..." is how I wanted to start this entry. Instead we've had a total of five games, three of which are from Minions Alpha which is pretty much finished. Anyway - since there was only one game in Masters then it's easy to pick this week's:

We also have Top vs Bottom in this next match-up. Generally Top vs Bottom games end up with a one-sided match, but MR C is probably the most improved player this season and does himself proud in this game:

Re: RAGL Season 10 Weekly Highlights
Week 8
We've had a great week of matches this week, many of them coming in the last couple of days. Upps and i like men have both played matches which means that everyone in Masters has started the season. Despite some great play from them I thought that Bain vs Sigil was the highlight of this week:

There's a lot still to play for in Masters - the playoff spots are wide open and we're getting to the end of the group stage. In theory this coming week should be packed with matches.
We've had a great week of matches this week, many of them coming in the last couple of days. Upps and i like men have both played matches which means that everyone in Masters has started the season. Despite some great play from them I thought that Bain vs Sigil was the highlight of this week:

Best of the Rest
I'm not sure if anyone's going to stream this first game - Kaution already did an analysis cast of it. Anyway - both games were really entertaining.
