Well when will we get official numbers?? I don't want to play Esper...at all.


I plan on hooking you guys up tomorrow morning while I am eating my breakfast, unless the last two matches are miraculously played in the next 10 minutes (I don't think they realize not playing iss detrimental...).

Kryder out...

If 1 and 2 are Esper, they don't face off in the Semis - only possible rematch is finals. I'm pretty sure the same is true, btw, unless they are 1 and 4 somehow.

1v8 - 4v5 (upper bracket)
2v7 - 3v6 (lower bracket)

Or is that wrong for some reason?


DJ is correct.

Also Vert, the answer is no. It's single elimination except for a 3rd. Place match after semis.
Edit: Vert, that comes from the reddit page.

#speculation

Does it reseed each round?


I don't think so. Basically, the only way you and pure are playing again before the finals (assuming I'm right, which I'm pretty sure I am) is if somehow I'm #1 seed. And I don't think that was possible, even with your victory evening out the playing field tremendously.

Edit: anyway, we'll find out soon enough... Back to Minecraft or Ark... L8rs!

Good morning, Xboners.

Top 8 is up.

Here are your Elite 8 for Fight Club:

Divinevert
repentantblacksmith
PureSynesthia
DJ0045
TibalTown 95
Donachaid
Immortal Reborn
Black Barney

Get your matches done soonest, fellas. Due date for this round is 16 June at 2359 EST, but with only 4 matches to do try to get this done ASAP...that way we can go into the Final Four and Finals.

Remember, for those of you that make it to the Final Four, your games are not over if you lose there...you still have to play for 3rd/4th place, and all the finals (1st/2nd and 3rd/4th) are best of 5.

Good luck duelers!

Kryder out...

Yep, you were 9th.

It was ridiculously close cut...I think your opponent in round 4 dropping out killed your chances. But he would have had to have won match 5, either 2-1 or 2-0, for you to vault ahead of Barney.

That bad feel when you try to review Witty v. Barney to prep for your Top 8 match and it's already gone.

Magic's a simple game, 2 people take turns playing cards and in the end Divinevert wins 2-0...

Well I was happy you were wrong! No Esper 1st round! Then I saw Steelys decklist. 4c Walker Mirror. And his is much more powerful. I'm glad to have made it this far and I learned a lot in my first tournament.

Good luck to everyone!

Hah, I had the same reaction. I built mine with the mirror in mind, we'll see if I can go over before you can get under. Should be interesting!

Yeah, I really had no idea what I was doing coming into this thing. I assumed there would be a lot of Abzan and 4c Walkers. But everyone was touting humans at the time. So I built mine to stop stall aggro/humans until I could get my PWs on the board to win.

Never really thought about the mirror, even assuming 4c walkers was going to be huge in the tourney. That's just me being new to all this.

That being said, my deck still leans toward to control than midrange, and your deck destroys in the long game. You're def favored good luck!

I'm at the in laws this weekend so how is the early part of next week?

Did he play that superfriends build of his that he said was the best deck in the game but required skillful mulliganing?
