Agreed! It would also reduce the "playing on suboptimal servers to prevent identity detection" thing, and it would make planning practice sessions easier for players. It could be argued that the tournament will lose the core reason that started the tournament, i.e. players not knowing whom they...
GGs. I doubted your Jordan-Sumanguru pick, but you got that one right! The guessing game was a lot of fun, particularly the farm and lagspike theory stuff. Loved reading through this whole thread and watching things unfold.
The only way this wasn't going to be a 4-0 was if Hera wanted to show mercy and not play his best game, but that would be disrespectful to the opponent and the tournament. While the clean sweep isn't good for viewtime, I think it's important to still appreciate just how good Hera is and how he...
Honestly? Viper definitely didn't choke but he didn't look like he was at the top of his game either, in my opinion. In the earlier rounds there were calls that Khosrau may not be Viper because he seemed less sharp than a couple others. Today his complete lack of military on mudflow even after...
Ye, I mentioned this earlier and it's definitely possible! But his stubbornness to play Poles on Mudflow despite the clapping by Otto, the late resignations, the town bell stuff from earlier really leans towards ACCM more. Also Lithuanians could be for High Tides and Dravidians or Koreans work...
With that Gregory draft being so similar to Stephen, and Daut and Tatoh historically being training partners, if Tatoh wasn't Gajah then he can't be anyone but Gregory, in my umble opinion.
Gajah Mada draft feels like Tatoh or GLish at any rate. Lithianians for Hidden Forts, Koreans Cup, Dravidians for Bay maybe? And Saracens. Or maybe he adapted based on watching the first rounds. Hard to say.
Interesting, because that's not how I felt about HC. We had some great gameplay with archers, unique strats from Stephen on many maps, Zizka on Bay/Cross, solid consistency from Vasco, and MbL being MbL. The few instances of gameplay that were underwhelming (in my humble opinion as a viewer who...
Ok back to the topic at hand. End of quarterfinals, I have the following pinned down:
Vasco da Gamer = Hera
Pachacuti = ?
Sumanguru = ?
Dave = Mihai
Auto the everything = Mbl
Jadwiga = Heart
Gajah Mada = ACCM
Gregory = Tatoh
Stephen King = Daut
Selim the Grim = ?
Khosrau = Viper
Sigismund = ...
My headcanon is that if the GL boys were to have a conversation after the first round matches, it would go like this:
Daut: I faced Yo in the first round and beat him. Frickin random brackets man.
Viper: Wait, I played Yo though.
Daut: Vat? He went Spanish conqs, that has to be Yo. He even had...
