The Biweekly Games

So who will fight who do we draw numbers or r u gonna pair everyone up in random brackets?

sub · January 12, 2009, 6:44pm

Brackets are being made up now and will be posted later. We were going to do random brackets, but in an attempt for the tourny to be more fair, we tried to pair the first few rounds so they are even matches. In other words, someone like blackchaos who hasn’t played in forever won’t have to fight Ren in the first round.

Median · January 12, 2009, 11:06pm

So you will decide who fights who in the first round?!

sub · January 12, 2009, 11:26pm

Not exactly. We grouped players into three tiers and then randomized who fights who. For the first few rounds, players will only fight those within their own tier, but who they fight in that tier will be random.

Also, contrary to what I originally posted, it won’t be single elimination but rather double elimination. Thank Trex for that one.

Median · January 13, 2009, 11:43am

Sounds good, but i dont think it will be done in 24h. Not like thats a major issue, but be prepared for that

jtabs · January 17, 2009, 4:30pm

Is Open beta final different from 1.2.3?

Renyori · January 17, 2009, 4:44pm

Much different, but the tournament is on 1.2.3 so you’re familiar with it.

jtabs · January 17, 2009, 4:49pm

I had open beta so I couldn’t connect to any servers but I think I got it right now.

Anyone want to make predictions on who will get first, second and third?

jtabs · January 18, 2009, 3:55pm

Ren declared he was going to win yesterday. I just hope to not get knocked out in the first round.

Grega · January 18, 2009, 4:17pm

KyLiK · January 18, 2009, 8:22pm

sub · January 18, 2009, 8:34pm

I’m sure a few people are bound not to show. You can have one of their spots if you want

sub · January 19, 2009, 4:51am

Tournament is over, first place was Ren, second place was Yugi. Congrats guys and thank you to all of those who showed. The tournament could have been managed a lot better and I apologize about that, but we got through it and I learned a lot about how to better manage these things. I’ll post a video of the final fight in the next few days, but for now, here are the results. Picture made courtesy of Ren
