Thought a new thread for a new round was required.
Just curious as to how the 2nd wildcard spot was decided. I think (by what I can figure out in the small font on the pairings post) that Zugzwang got the 2nd wildcard spot with his 3 points. Is that correct?

methinks so, accordin 2 slarty it was for meritous (or meritorious or something like that) play he did play pretty well. cor i wouldnt like to be in the top left corner- reds, calico jack, spacca and freesoul for one place, that's gonna get messy. any other thoughts on the draw?

I have to admit - I'm surprised zugz got the nod, especially seeing he was noted for somewhat slow play. But then again, I didn't see the matches he was in, so he could have been a much better player than the others who were awarded more points.

Laxen That was my thought... Now I have to face the guy I picked to win the whole thing... I guess it had to be done sooner or later... |

Well, since I do love fantasy brackets...
CalicoJack vs Spacca, Spacca wins.
Rycchus vs Maven, Rycchus wins.
Xade vs Zugzwang, Zugzwang wins.
Awall vs Dubber, Dubber wins.
Spacca vs Rycchus, Spacca wins.
Zugzwang vs Dubber, Zugzwang wins.
Spacca vs Zugzwang, Zugzwang wins 2007 Tourney.
Don't flame me this time, it's just something I did for FUN. Anything can happen. Sheesh.

wow-- you picked the longshot to win... the one to get the meritous wildcard spot. Very gutsy  |

You really think the highest-Elo player is the longshot? Interesting.
Edit: The road that I have him on includes 2 unpredictable players in Dubber and Xade, and I think Zugzwang plays those matchups better than most high-level warlocks, perhaps better than I do. The finals is kind of a toss-up, but I like his name better, so he gets the nod.

Not really, just referring to your odds post. Just interesting that Zuggs turned out to be your favorite.

Hey Exdeath...you have me out in this round? Ouch...according to the archives, my record against the Dubmeister ain't too shabby, though in the tourney, anything can happen.
My kingdom to be in that bottom left corner...(sorry guys)... it seems like the lightest draw. Top left is from hell. Unfortunately my three fantasy guys are stacked in the right.
If i can beat Dubber i have my own personal biggest fears all the way. I reckon I'm going up against Dubber, Awall, Zuggy and finally Spacca. After coming out of my group against Xade and Vermont...if i can win, it wasn't because of an easy draw....

I think awall will get further than that.
Agree with almost all of that though Exy.

Did you read the explanation of how it was decided in said post? I just did, actually. Didn't notice it the first time around. I'm going to have to go and look at the 2 games he actually did finish within the timeframe to see how he fared in them. I'm assuming he won both of them? EDIT: Looking at the games zugz was involved in, I'll have to say that I just don't see the same potential. In two of the unfinished matches, he's about to get hit with 5 points of damage (no chance of countering)... so I'm thinking I must really misunderstand the concept of "initiative" and "advantage" there. In game 59568 he seems to make a pretty obvious mistake and gets para'd into surrendering. What am I missing here? |

The bribe? ;D I didn't deserve advancement either, with one of my wins being a Forced Surrender.
