Cadia yeah it's my first time hosting a tournament, I've learned a lot from it on how to run the next one.
FINAL RESULTS
(akas: jjf28 = rs_yes-im4real
Origin = Gantrithor = DukeNukem)
The first four matches were: (winning players are
BOLDlil-Inferno vs
Jack[RCDFjjf28 vs Cadia
Vrael vs RIVE
Gantrithor vs
KHD-4castlil-inferno, Cadia, RIVE, and Gantrithor went into the losers bracket; Jack[RCDF, jjf28, Vrael, and KHD-4cast stayed in.
Continuing the winners bracket were the next two games:
Jack[RCDF vs
jjf28Vrael vs KHD-4cast
The semifinals on the winners bracket side was:
Vrael vs jjf28
Vrael was through to the finals!
Over to the Losers Bracket, where things had become rather messy. lil-Inferno had used marines in the previous game, and was therefore disqualified. And Cadia had gone afk, so their game was never started. In addition, OlimarandLouie showed up quite late. To balance things out I gave myself a bye and had OlimarandLouie start in the losers bracket as a penalty for arriving late (plus there was no other way he'd be able to play otherwise). Resulting in only one game in the bottom of the losers bracket:
Origin vs RIVE
Next Jack[RCDF and KHD-4cast came down from the winners bracket, so we had two games in the second round of the losers bracket (told you it got messy).
Jack[RCDF vs Gantrithor
OlimarandLouie vs
KHD-4castIn the THIRD round of the losers bracket, jjf28 came down from the winners bracket, with Jack[RCDF and KHD-4cast. 4cast was given a bye, giving us one match:
jjf28 vs Jack[RCDF
And to complete the losers bracket semifinals, we had:
jjf28 vs KHD-4cast
With jjf28 going through to the finals.
The finals dragged on for quite some time (2 hours apparently) as jjf28 and Vrael duked it out with their nukes, but finally Vrael took out the victory! (Prior to the game they agreed to play a best-of-one as the games took quite some time. Next time I'll use a map or style that is quicker
)
Thank you to everyone who showed up, I had a blast and found that I quite enjoy commentating games, although I have plenty to work on with respect to casting and also running tournaments. I hope I'll see you all in the next tournament, hopefully in a month or two's time!
(note: I realize that everything didn't go EXACTLY to plan, and I'll definitely work on making things more slick and understood by the players next time)
Red classic.
