by **colton24** on Fri Sep 04, 2009 11:12 pm

Apex has forfieted Game 5533682 due to a player failing to join that player has been fired

by **Wellspring** on Tue Sep 08, 2009 4:01 pm

I'm a little confused about how the firing works ... is someone fired from each team each week or just from the losing team?

by **colton24** on Tue Sep 08, 2009 4:13 pm

Losing team.

by **Wellspring** on Tue Sep 08, 2009 7:04 pm

What happens when everyone from a team is eliminated? Everyone who wasn't eliminated on the winning team are the champions?

If this is only round 5, how have we lost 6 players already? Shouldn't we only lose 4, (1 per round) even if we lost them all? There are a total of 7 people eliminated in 4 rounds completed. Something doesn't make sense.

Also, you're deadbeating in your game against me.

Actually one was a mistake. Other than that it has been 2 games per round and 1 person eliminated after each game

Round 6 coming

by **72o** on Mon Dec 28, 2009 12:56 pm

Colton, I beat you in our 1v1 game. Why aren't you fired? You made sure I was fired when I lost.

So at one point in the tournament, colton lost 3 straight games. 2 of those games were the only one that round, yet he and his partner miraculously survived the gallows both times. The other one was a 1v1 in which I beat him. He survived that too, of course.
