Caff Rush #6: Espresso Around the Globe [Finals] virus90 win

[iAmCaffeine]

Just waiting on one game to finish guys. Scores are updated apart from that. Some key changes in position happening.

[iAmCaffeine]

Due to how long this has taken, for various reasons, I'm wondering how best to do the finals. Another two maps for each letter, or shall we just make it one, so 26 games total in the championship round?

[iAmCaffeine]

No response but we'll continue. Next round starts 16th.

[iAmCaffeine]

Next round is out, we're almost there now. In the Championship I'll send games out in groups of five to avoid it taking anywhere near as long as this tournament has done so far.

Are we missing someone in Game 17014315 ?

Hang in there, amigo. Sometimes these things wear you down. It will pass.


A big thank you for all your efforts!

[djelebert]

A big thank you for all your efforts!

I agree with duke!

[iAmCaffeine]

Updated for now.

[iAmCaffeine]

It seems the replacement, whom I contacted before inviting and whom confirmed they would play, has silently decided not to play. Contacting next replacement. Sorry guys.

No response. Contacting the next player. If that fails, I'll just play myself.

[iAmCaffeine]

Okay, I guess I'm playing.

[Mad777]

Tournament verified to be active still, no game in progress yet (last game finished Friday).

[iAmCaffeine]

It's active, just been busy.

[iAmCaffeine]

Need a replacement for europeanson.

[iAmCaffeine]

Thankfully, callmenorcal will replace europeanson even though he has no chance of getting to the championship round.

[Mad777]

Tournament verified and active still, no game in progress as of yet (last game finished a week ago).

[iAmCaffeine]

Okay, we're into the final round before the Championships. There will be two assassin games and one standard. In the Championship, I will create games in larger batches (likely five) so that we can round this up quicker. Thanks to everyone who's stuck with this tournament; if I could award you all a medal I would.

[iAmCaffeine]

Groups Charlie and Delta are the first to finish with JPlo64, eaglelem, djelebert and thenoob23 all qualifying for the Championship.

[iAmCaffeine]

Just one game left before the Championship begins, with Dukasaur and virus90 advancing.

[iAmCaffeine]

The Championships are finally starting! Congratulations to those who qualified. I'd also like to say a massive thanks to everyone who stuck with the tournament throughout it's entirety, and good luck to those remaining. From now on we'll be doing six games at a time (i.e. three maps), but still waiting until all are completed before making the next set. I feel like this tournament has ran long enough for various reasons, including fault of my own, so let's try and finish before we hit the two year mark. I've planned all the maps in advance, and we'll only be playing Quad Cities once this time around.

[iAmCaffeine]

Hopefully some of the first round games will be finishing soon as we're now two weeks into the Championships, and a new batch is coming. I'm not gonna slow down just because this tournament has been ongoing for so long. Make sure you pay attention to the game types for scoring purposes!

[iAmCaffeine]

Next batch is out and invites sent. Just a reminder for TeeGee that there will be assassin games.
