OhgirlNC
DJnicholasRAGE
Hot sizzle the Biddy slayer aka i will break yo mommas legs

edit: me and 4% should be streamed.

 

[N.A.G.A.C.E]

Ok g$ is going to get top 4 overall in this tourney calling it now

 

[Blistering Speed]

Cannot muster a modicum of hype for this.

 

[KishPrime]

Then go to another thread? There'll be plenty of amazing vids coming out of this...not too worried about that.

 

[S l o X]

Anyway some guy is going to be walking around with a cam recorder? I loved old Kish videos of things like that, definitely helped me feel out how the tournament ran and it gave me a picture of how godlike the tournaments back then were.

 

[KishPrime]

Only this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dpn8baDxLPc

 

[ycz12]

Sleepin on 4%, it's a damn shame.

I can go Jiggs in our pools match and sleep on him if you want

 

[Twinkles]

Except I plan for things and buy my tickets two months in advance

is that not common sense for people?

I'm definitely going

good ****

Why would he miss out on free $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
l

It's not about the money stab.
It's about the PRIIIIIIIIIDE.

 

[unknown522]

damn, everybody has me not making out it

sorry guys, cant let that happen

hey, I had you listed in my pool. Did you even read it?

 

[Habefiet]

It's not about the money stab.
"We've got to have...MONEY."

wat

I predict Hax pooping on me so hard that this statement would be too disgusting to complete with adequate force (I'm Vanilla Bryce in Pool 5). That's about all I've got.

 

[4% APR]

hey, I had you listed in my pool. Did you even read it?

no no i saw that. I shouldnt have said everybody. My bad. We should play a little at this btw

 

[Metà]

man, the more i look at these pools, the more i question how the hell you guys did the seeding for this...

pool 16 has too many good players in it, i don't think chillin is really a 1st seed player anymore,
duck and chad should both be first seeds imo

plus, now that mango isn't coming anymore, you should probably fix that soon lol

 

[unknown522]

no no i saw that. I shouldnt have said everybody. My bad. We should play a little at this btw

another time. I can't make it to this, though I want to go very badly

Edit: @ meta: chillin is definitely a first seed player for this tourney

 

[stabbedbyanipple]

top 8 imo

1. hbox
2. wobbles
3. shroomed
4. axe
5. kage
5. hax
7. chillin
7. sfat

definitely possible for this to not be close. A lot of people close in skill level.

[Wake]

Dmac will beat Spikes I bet, and Ambix'll get second seed. Meta'll get out of pool 13. lol oops. Oh, and SDM will not make it out if his pool. Hmm, I also think DoH will get first seed.

 

[The Good Doctor]

Dmac will be Spikes I bet, and Ambix'll get second seed.

Yes, dmac and spikes are one in the same

 

[Wake]

Happy now?!

 

[The Good Doctor]

Wake, I'm always happy

Also, Abu and I have a MM, so if he agrees we can have our pools match be our MM and preferably on the Stream since there has been trashtalk/hype

HYPE

Also, Mango is no longer on the attendee list. So it's official....

 

[KishPrime]

I got seeding data from 5 players covering multiple regions, assembled it into a single package, sorted by region, and where tiebreakers were needed, SSBPD came into play (regardless of people's sometimes valid complaints, it IS better than nothing). Furthermore, after completion, they were then run across the desk of additional players for a double-check, in addition to the originals, and made additional tweaks based on that. All in all I probably put close to 8 hours into it myself, not counting the time others spent.

This is not an easy or exact process. Everyone has opinions, and no one usually knows how mid-level players really play across regions until it happens. When you look at this thread, there are a couple of opinions coalescing, but with the data I had, I made changes whenever I heard from multiple people that some pools needed a tweak here or there. And even then, there are some really diverse opinions in this thread.

There are always going to be hard or easy pools, just like there are always hard or easy brackets. The point to a Round Robin tournament is that no one gets eliminated at any stage that would advance to the stage two rounds from then. If you get 5th instead of 4th because your pool is a bit harder, you weren't exactly a clearcut player that deserved to advance to begin with.

Can you comment on the Mango situation, and what that means for the already established pools?

 

[Froggy]

Can you comment on the Mango situation, and what that means for the already established pools?

With 4 seeds making it out of each pool, I'm quite sure there won't be any surprises eliminations in the first round of pools. Also with such big pools to begin with the lesser skilled players are guaranteed to get in more tournament matches than they would at most tournaments.

 

[alcheato]

As of last night Trail told me he was still picking Mango up and driving him to FC.

That's great news.

lol i never trashtalked u but this is fine w/ me

 

[The Good Doctor]

I didn't say you did, others have on your behalf.
Kish, STREAM US!

 

[DerfMidWest]

Abu too strong.
Get yo lunch money took.

 

[kd-]

I didn't say you did, others have on your behalf.
Kish, STREAM US!

No one trash talks on Abu's behalf because no one roots for Abu but Abu himself.

 

[Froggy]

Kish please don't stream them. I think most of us prefer it when only tourney matches are on the stream.

 

[PGH Carroll]

Truth doe.

 

[J.Shadows]

Little England getting first on his pool

 

[Nintendude]

My only request is don't stream uber pros during first round pools. Watching hbox and Mango steamroll their pools isn't that interesting imo. I'd much rather see unique matchups like Tink vs. Swift.

This

10This

 

[Green Ranger]

Agreed. I think pools 2, 8, 13, 15 and 16 are the most interesting. Stream one of those!

 

[Froggy]

I'll say again, please stream pool 13.

 

[Green Ranger]

What Froggy said. You're a good dude Froggy. I like you.

 

[The Good Doctor]

Kish please don't stream them. I think most of us prefer it when only tourney matches are on the stream.

It would be, we are in the same pool.
