I'll hop in, why the heck not.

Hooray!

If we can get one more person (*cough*MKC or Drrek*cough*) we can eliminate byes and have an even tournament. If not, there will be some byes throughout to even things out.

I think you may have misinterpreted what we meant about switching decks. In normal tournaments the loser of a game switches to a different deck within the round, not between rounds. So in order to play a bo5 series, a person would need to register at least 3 decks to use for each round. Or maybe it was intentional for you to allow players to switch decks between rounds, I don't know. In that case the tournament structure is no different than last months.

Because I forgot to post this, I go by TheDoctor#1648 on Battle.net.

I think you're right, I did misunderstand. But, I didn't see any problems with the structure of last month so I see no reason not to use it again.

Any chance you want to participate again?

Master KChief · « **Reply #29 on:** August 12, 2014, 11:17:22 PM »

Well, the problem last month was certain Heroes being blown out from bad matchups against certain other Heroes. For instance, Zoo will always match up poorly against Face Hunter and Mage. Mage is horrendous against Control Warrior. Control Warrior does horrible against Zoo. There is little point in playing b05 with the same deck because whereas b05 is meant to reduce the amount of variance and luck factor in general, playing with the exact same deck in matches with odds stacked in favor of only one person does not encourage that at all. The idea behind switching decks within the round is akin to Hearthstones best implementation of sideboarding.

When will the tournament start? If no one else signs up by that time, I will step in to circumvent byes.

It'll start this Friday.

I'm fine with removing the restriction of using the same deck for all games in a round. I don't think I want to require people to change, as some only have 1 good Hero, but if people want to switch I don't see a problem with that (and like you said, it can be detrimental if they can't).

Round 1 has begun!
-Reminder to all players: Rounds are best of 5 games and this month you are NOT restricted to using the same deck for each game in a round. Check the Challonge site for pairings and both players must post results once they are determined. Good luck and play well!

MKC, I added you as the 8th participant per your request but please let me know if you'd prefer to not participate.

Chris, if you could post your BattleTag so I can add it to the list in the first post that'd be great!

Lawful kicked my butt to the next country, 3-0.

Actually, it was me, Lampy.
I'm confirming this game. Soulseeker is a great player!

Scores updated for games posted above. I have yet to hear from Westy/MKC regarding their match and Chris hasn't gotten back to me with availability yet so our match is still pending also.

Warrior_Monk · « **Reply #37 on:** August 20, 2014, 10:05:41 PM »

I'm going to have to drop out this round. Computer's getting fixed and I won't have one until the end of the week (if I'm lucky).

Sorry to hear that, but thanks for letting me know. Good luck with your computer!

Bracket has been updated, MKC might automatically move to round 2 depending on: If Chris doesn't reply to me by tomorrow night I'll also have to deactivate him in which case I'll have to see how the bracket changes and may just restart it with 6 instead of 8 (all completed matches will still count, I'll rearrange the seed so that the same matchups occur again).

Please stay tuned for updates on Round 2!

Sorry, I need to back out. I completely forgot about this, and I have that whole college deal now.

Alrighty, thanks for letting me know. And good luck with college!

Bracket has been restarted to run for 6 players, but completed results have been re-imported.

Since both Round 1 games have completed I'm going to go ahead and start Round 2.

Round 2 has begun!
-Marti and Lampy do not have games this round as their next opponents won't be determined until the other 2 games finish (it's a bit off due to only having 6 players). Feel free to play a fun match with each other if you like!
-Reminder to all players: Rounds are best of 5 games. Check the Challonge site for pairings and both players must post results once they are determined. Good luck and play well!

Master KChief · « **Reply #42 on:** August 22, 2014, 06:03:43 PM »

So are we allowed to change decks between games then? Or only between rounds?

browarod · « **Reply #43 on:** August 22, 2014, 07:17:45 PM »

You are allowed to change decks whenever you like, there are no restrictions of any kind on decks this month. If you change decks between games just try to make the choice quickly to not inconvenience your opponent.

Soulseeker and I played our match and he beat me 3-2, though most of the games were pretty close. Each one came down to whether one or the other of us drew AoE, haha.

All of the above is true. Good games and fun.

Beat Lawful 3-1. Good games!

Round 3 has begun!
-MKC and Soul Seeker have a bye this round. They will have a semifinals matchup, however I'd like to get the "Losers Bracket" caught up before they play their match. Feel free to play a fun match with each other if you like!

I haven't heard back from my opponent, nor any of the other participants. Are people still interested in this or should we just cancel it completely and try again another month?

TheMarti · « **Reply #49 on:** September 09, 2014, 10:40:40 AM »

Oh, I totally missed messages from you if you sent them! Go ahead and send me a message on battle net if you see me online.
