The first kill of the tourney goes to morleyjoe in Group C who ousted Hank44Soccer . He gained 8 points. May not seem like much but it puts the pressure on everyone else who isn't the leader to get a kill.

[gradybridges]

UPSET ALERT!

The 93rd ranked player in the tourney, csorta, won his first round game in dominating fashion. Also advancing was maniacmath17, 4th ranked in the tourney. The winner of group M probably won't like it.

All other games are atleast in round 7. Figure 1-3 weeks before first round is complete. All depends on how fast they go.

2 have advanced, 6 eliminated.

[gradybridges]

Round 2 is starting.

Round 1 is winding down in most games and round 2 games will be rolling out.

No Round 2 invites will be sent out on Dec 24/25 or Dec 31/Jan 1

[gradybridges]

3 first round games left to go. 10 2nd round matches underway or completed.

[gradybridges]

While there are still 3 First Round games going, congrats goes out to Darkended Blade as the first person in the four person Fnals on the Chicago map.

[gradybridges]

1 first round game still going and 3 Finalists.

3 Finalists are - Darkended Blade, bobafart, Blinkadyblink.

Last Rd1 game appears to be coming to an end. Hopefully

[gradybridges]

It only took 52 days but Game H in Round 1 is over. Mudpuppy, down to 6 regions in round 31, came back to win the game in a stellar use of hiding troops. 107 troops forted to a strongpoint in round 49 sealed the win 3 rounds later. . Can't believe a major with 20+ points was allowed to survive where points mattered. Great win by Mudpuppy.

Round 2 invites have been sent out. It shouldn't take too long.

[gradybridges]

Round 2 is finished.

Round 3 has canadarye v Honky_D & Mudpuppy v _HiTMan_

as for seedings of final contestants

8th- MudPuppy-3RD Round
12th - Blinkadyblink-Finals
33 - _HiTMaN_ 3RD Round
66 - Darkended Blade - Finals
70 - bobafart - Finals

[gradybridges]

2 matches to go before the Finals.

[gradybridges]

Congrats to the Finalsts

MudPuppy, Blinkadyblink, Darkended Blade, bobafart 72

Final invites out soon.

[gradybridges]

MudPuppy has scored the first 2 kills an has amased 46 points. Darkended Blade & bobafart were eliminated in seperate games. A win and a kill in another game could almost guarentee a win for MudPuppy.

[gradybridges]

UPDATE

Points

MudPuppy - 24 + 22=46 points
Darkended Blade
bobafart
Blinkadyblink- 29 points

MudPuppy has the points lead for now but Blinkadyblink is on the verge of winning his first game. This looks to come down to game 30/31. All players seem to be hoarding troops.

bobafart
Blinkadyblink- 29 +( 22) +20(W) = 71 points

Game 8617689 Blinkadyblink-WINNER

Points

MudPuppy - 24 + 22 = 46 points
Darkended Blade
bobafart - 41 + 39 + 20(W) = 100 points
Blinkadyblink- 29 + 22 + 23 +20(W) = 94 points

And bobafart takes the lead. Unfortunatly he is out of the 3rd game and can't get anymore points. Darkened Blade and MudPuppy each have 23 regions. Blinkadyblink is down to 10. MudPuppy needs a win and to take out both people to get the win. DB needs to sweep as well anh he might squeek out a victory.

[MudPuppy]

Thanks for running a fun tourney, grady. Big congrats, DB.... I think you overtook bobafart, if I calc'd correctly: 33+35+10+10+20=108.

[Darkended Blade]

Looks like it! Will wait for clarification from grady first

In any case, it's been a great tourney, really enjoyed it. Thanks grady!
