2007 MLG Smash Series: MELEE-FC Diamond: Pools and CANDY in first post!

[chillindude829]

is the top 32 bracket single or double elimination

if double, do people still in winners get some kind of advantage in the round robin?

imo it should just be a regular 32 man bracket

edit: will torpedo ball be available this year? i took 19 stock in a 20 stock crew battle. with 4 of mine. im amazing

 

[Overswarm]

Dude, if I had that kind of motivation I would've won the tournament. What were you doing with it?

I used all the siphoned motivation from Darkrain to play Torpedo Ball.


I regret nothing, except I never got to beat Chu Dat

 

[Ignatius]

It is double elim chillin.

 

[chillindude829]

so how is the round robin going to work? do the people still in winners get an advantage of some sort? there has to be at least one person still in winners even if you play the whole winner's bracket.

Did this post mindgame anyone else? I was like "WTF, that's backwards o_O"

 

[Cyphus]

yea...my brain doesn't move in the same direction as most people.
that may also explain why i can't remember jack **** about anything ever.

Hardest pool - 4

Most interesting first pool match - Chillin vs. Crashman

Top 8 RR = top 8 players $$$ splitsies? Haha.

 

[J-Pizzle]

u should try being in my pool

 

[Eggz]

Word on the street is I snore like a mofo, so GGz people sleeping in the same room as me.

*Makes it a point to sleep in the same room as Drephen*

GGz @ any homosexual jokes that are made regarding the last line. >_>;

 

[Pritch]

Someone always does that. Thanks Nite.

Also, some people think they have partners that don't. Supposedly there are two different teams with WoZ on them (Col Bol and OTRU), and JesusFreak/JonS/Pritch are all registered with people that aren't coming...

<_<

Whoa, whoa.....

Doraki's not coming? When did this happen? Would have been cool if he'd bothered to PM me or somthing.

Ummmm, guess I need a teammate.

 

[J-Pizzle]

I can b yur partner

 

[Eggz]

Omni, wanna make our pool match a money match?

If either of us 2-0 the other, the winner gets 5 bucks?

Same to KeepSpeedN, or anyone else in my pool who wants to do that.

 

[J-Pizzle]

someone really wants his money

 

[BeArR]

Does anyone need a teams partner by chance?

 

[J-Pizzle]

I do Bear,it would b fun 2 team up

 

[forkgirl]

DoH i thought you were in our crew???

 

[KishSquared]

A double-elimination bracket still has top eight players. Once you've secured yourself as a top 8 finalist, you don't play any more matches. That would be anyone who makes it to the final four of the winner's bracket, and the top 4 out of the rest in loser's bracket.

I know it'll be strange to try this format, but a RR is objectively the best way to determine the best player, so we want to give it a go. We tried this at the MW Circuit Championship, and it went over pretty well.

And splitsies will be tougher to pull off since checks are being mailed out two weeks after the event. Of course they could still happen, but I think people will be less inclined to trust someone than they were last year, when cash was distributed at the event and could be split on the spot.

 

[XIF]

best first matches:

lambchops vs viperboy (making me wet already)

Mathos vs Queen (I just wanna see queen ownzing)

XIF vs Jiano, because XIF will shock the smashing world with his underdog victory.

the last 3 pools are for the most part hard just cause it has alot of evenly skilled players, but the pools with with the best players (read, first 10) will obviously be hard in certain respects.

 

[araknophobik]

OH has almost 40 people attending. It'd be impossible not to have some pools have two of them >_>

Every other state should be good though.

my pool has 2 NJ players in them
and im not one to john
but im not happy with them two playing each other toward the end =[

lol o man watty, ima be hitting up hugo for practice prior to this just for you


p.s. So is anybody else taking the 12.75 bus route thing from mdw to south bend thursday morning? hit me up so that way maybe we can roll in a group and not get lost =/

 

[1337]

im winning pool 19. Anyone disagree?

Silly XIF and his terrible trashtalk. I'm going to be excited when MW romps FL.

 

[KishSquared]

Haha, silly Mathos. You assume you'll actually be able to play well at this thing. Don't forget that hosts and staff members only really play at 40% of their maximum power levels at their events due to lack of sleep and stamina.

 

[QDVS]

Johns already...looking forward to our matches Mathos!!!

 

[Black Hayate]

big C, i'll MM you $5. also if you lose, you'll have to run the fastest you can to the nearest McDs to get a big mac and eat it in less then 1 min. and if i lose i'll have to get a quarter pounder for you, how's that sound lol

 

[Plairnkk]

i vouch this statement

 

[KishPrime]

The nearest McDonald's is about a two mile walk.

 

[Gimpyfish62]

and chipotle...?

 

[KishPrime]

We live in the Midwest silly.

Closest one I know of is a 2 hour drive

You forget, it's all Stake and Shake here!

 

[eighteenspikes]

Best of luck to mathos, qdvs, and everyone else in my 1st pool

 

[KishSquared]

There's a Chipotle on Main Street now, next to Chick-Fil-A. 25 minute drive max.

Don't go there, though. It's not that good :/ Go to Hacienda instead, it's closer!

 

[mathos]

Haha, silly Mathos. You assume you'll actually be able to play well at this thing. Don't forget that hosts and staff members only really play at 40% of their maximum power levels at their events due to lack of sleep and stamina.

So wait I was only playing at 40% when I wrecked Tink (twice) and Vidjo at CoK111? Oh Snap. I hope Queen won't feel bad then

 

[KishPrime]

Only staff members at FC jerk.

Geez I can't believe we hired such a jerk.

 

[viperboy_74]

[Afro_Ninja]
