I feel like I'm forgetting something.... Hmm...maybe it was just my surprise that no one even attempted to use a Dancer, though I can't say that's exactly a huge surprise. Bards are at least making a decent showing, especially since the AI is being surprisingly stupid about not touching Last Song-singing Bards.

You also forgot Piercewise Damned >_<

Whoops, my bad. I think I forgot because I think I've literally only seen him on the forums once or twice.

Regardless, thank you as well, Piercewise.

and plus you say that kikuichimonji and ninjas are shining but now we're in the quarter finals so now we'll see how much longer they'll last

Oh, I assure you that I would like to see them go down in (literal) flames, I just don't expect them to not (ultimately) win.

For the record, given what a negative bastard I am, this is why I am often quite fine with being proven (horribly) wrong.

*goes off to also abuse parentheses some more*

[formerdeathcorps]

I'm through three of my five matches.  I hope to have them all ready to be uploaded by the time formerdeathcorps uploads his.

Mine for the next round is mostly ready, but I'm not going to upload mine until Piercewise does his, or by Thursday (if he doesn't show up), whichever happens first.

Funny, I feel the same way, but towards tanks and evasion squads.

Close but no cigar

spoiler: Barren (me) vs Aquilae comments

I feared this would happen....*sigh* well GG Aquilae, you proved DPS superiority over mine

as far as the rest of the matches, I think it looks good to me Wiz, I can get the rest done this week

[Barren]

Battle 59 Gaignun vs Mando

Battle 60 AeroGP vs Squidgy


Let's get the Semi-Finals rolling!!!

Also Wiz, when you get the chance update the winners/losers brackets

[Avalanche]

Is it just me or is youtube bugging for everyone?

Battle 59 Gaignun vs Mando

spoiler

I think haste, luck and good mapchoice for Gaignung won the match, in map 2 his units were double turning constantly.

I have to ask, is there a chance for the people in the looserbreaket to stil win the tournament? Im stil not sure how the system works here

[Barren]

yes there is, what happens is whoever wins the finals will face the winner of the loser's bracket for the season 5 championship

[krilz]

In a nutshell, whenever there is a loser's bracket, you always get a second chance if you lose. However, if you lose twice in a row, you're out for good.

[Barren]

You hit the nail on the head krilz

[Avalanche]

yes there is, what happens is whoever wins the finals will face the winner of the loser's bracket for the season 5 championship

But isnt it favoring the player who gets in the looser bracket from beginning on, due to weaker opponents.

[Barren]

that depends on what teams they face and what maps they're on/ anything and everything can be an advantage

[Mando]

that depends on what teams they face and what maps they're on/ anything and everything can be an advantage

This is very much true. There are many matches that have been won due to separation on the map; these matches could have easily gone the other way if the map was something different.

I would say matches are 50% team, 25% Map, 20% Zodiac , 5% (misc... aka the RNG SHAFT)

[Avalanche]

One could make the final a best of 3, and count the loosing map from before in.
I mean 3 times a bo3 (this would make it even more entertaining and final isnt over after 5 min.)

Well maybe its to much, i think its made this way in tournaments of other videogames.


Dont know if thats more fair, but would like to see more games of the finalists  : )

[Squidgy]

spoiler: AeroGP vs Squidgy

Well, that's what happens when you base a team's survivability on MP Switch and Hamedo. GG Aero. Maybe I'll sneak back up?... Doubt it with my silly team. At least the bird was fun, but no Cocatoris winning 1v4 like in one of my test runs... still fun.

I definately would like to see a bo5 in the finals and maybe the semi-finals as well.

[Wiz]

As splendid as it sounds to make it bo5, it's staying bo3 for the championship match because otherwise, it wouldn't be a double elimination tournament then. Not only that, but it'd get dull real quick to watch 6-15 rounds for one match.

My semifinal match is going up tomorrow in the morning asap, so get ready for that.

No! Mando lost! There goes my prediction.

[Piercewise]

Whoops, my bad. I think I forgot because I think I've literally only seen him on the forums once or twice.

Regardless, thank you as well, Piercewise.

You are welcome! And no offense taken, I'm not around here much.

Mine for the next round is mostly ready, but I'm not going to upload mine until Piercewise does his, or by Thursday (if he doesn't show up), whichever happens first.

Yeah, I should probably never be allowed near a tourney again O_o  I was unprepared for the crazy awesome pace you all set, plus I was on vacation for five days. I'm really sorry everyone. (this is especially ironic for anyone who remembers that I got involved in the S2 tourney replacing the designated host.)

But enough! I am dead set on getting a couple matches done tonight, and blazing a trail through rounds 2 AND 3 (at least) this weekend. If the powers that be are okay with it, I'm fine with you two posting what you have so far - the viewers deserve matches, damnit!

[Barren]

Cant wait for your matches piercewise.....gotta get this show on the road

[Piercewise]

Loser's Bracket Round 2! Gaignun and fdc, feel free to post what you have b/c I won't be able to post more until Friday.

Match 32 LOSER'S BRACKET

Match 31 LOSER'S BRACKET

PS Technically these are matches 32 and 31 according to the rubric on the front page, so I've labeled them as such.

PPS Sound is still quiet on 32, but I fix that for good on 31. Finally comfortable again on the mic. Hope you like them.
