At the time of this post, 3 matches have already quickly concluded.

Drunken Master MB (High Kings) won against Zephyrum (Lost Wolves) in 17 turns
Phaeril (French Community) won against Queefballs (Poon Squad) in 8 turns
Homeless ({W.U} Westeros United) won against Scotty (Hawks) in 13 turns

As more games continue to wrap up we will start to get a rough outline of the early pack leaders. Obviously you never want to take too much out of the first three matches in the first round of games (out of 20), but since they are the first to conclude faster than the others I couldn't help but analysis them a little. What are your thoughts? Were these the results you expected or were they upsets? Did it surprise anyone to see Drunken Master, Phaeril, and Homeless defeat Zephyrum, Queef, and Scotty?

Not surprised at all.

I was surprised that it took Homeless 13 turns to beat that guy.

Not really surprised, though I expected Queef to beat Phaeril, and expected Drunked to beat me faster (kind of my fault for abusing blockades and running away from him, but...

Seems like there was some sort of back story on why this was created. Care to share that?

I predicted MOD/Mike 1st/2nd. But there are a lot of people I have never played in this, so upsets won't really surprise me at all.

Someone expected Phaeril to lose to Queefballs? Phaeril has been ranked in the top 10 on the 1v1 ladder and might end up #1 with his current run...

Yeah, well something tells me that was the point of this RR. It was mentioned in the tourney chat something about getting people to stop running their mouths or something.

Or possibly for some to start running their mouths ;)

Or possibly for some to start running their mouths ;)

honestly have no clue how phaeril could ever be ranked lower than queefballs :P

Players of my clan are always underestimated, as in Clan league. But we like our underdog statut.

Nevertheless the settings are so bad here. I wanted to know people of other clans and get some interesting games against good players and/or players I do not know, but really, these settings are almost like a random game win/loss if the both players are good and thoughtfull.

I believed it was the 1v1 ladder template or something similar, but really... random number of renforcement piece cards is... incredible.

I have completely missunderstood my game against MoD because of an extra +5 card he got turn 3 and give him another bonus. And I believed my game almost won... of course it was not. MoD said me it was the same for him in his game against Chris.

So, sadly this tournament will not be so interesting.

The settings are just messed up. I expected ladder settings on ME. silly not to check settings closer on a 20player rr

Hahah suckers!

Yeah, I thought it was the current ladder settings. The cards are jacked up. It also sucks that it is Random move order with no OP cards. So you are at the mercy of luck on move order and cards, despite it being %0 SR. Pretty crummy settings.

In my current game, I got ahead to where I should have ended it quickly, but the settings have allowed the other player to make a battle of it.

*Gasp* This must've been BanaNa's attempt to get luck in a 0% SR game!
