[dragonsdemesne]

To all group B participants:

I am in the GMT -7 time zone.  On weekdays, I am usually available from about GMT 0200 for several hours. (though not tonight; going out to play real CCGs tonight :p )  On weekends I'm available pretty much whenever.  I'm rather hesitant to play with the current server problems, but I'd be up for playing a practice dummy game or two to test connections before playing the 'real' WC matches. (obviously not with actual WC decks :p)  I'm also okay with splitting up matches if connection problems occur.  (1 match Tuesday, 2 Wednesday, etc, or however it needs to happen)

[Fippe94]

Me and Kakerlake tried dueling yesterday; after 5 tries to finish the first game, we gave up. We both got disconnected every single time. I suggest to postpone this until the servers are fixed.

yes, I agree, I'll play when those servers are decent

We can restart the matchmaking now, that the servers are fixed:

THANKS TO ROB FOR THIS IDEA

[Kakerlake]

Kakerlake 3 - 0 Fippe94

1.1 - 1.5: 5 times desynch, then we postponed the match.
1.6: I knew his deck and knew how to play in order to beat him.
2: Near perfect draw for me, no chance for him.
3: Him not drawing his main cards and me having picked a nice counter made this pretty unfair.

ggs fippe, thanks for the match!

[dragonsdemesne]

dragonsdemesne - 1
kakerlake - 3

RNG can bite me... oh, wait, it just did :p  I could certainly have wished for -much- better draws, but Kakerlake played well and picked decent decks.  I just couldn't catch a break, even though I predicted his decks in the second and third games.  Good thing there's still more matches to play! :p

edit: match still in progress, his 3rd deck was illegal, since he used monoentropy twice in a row.

edit: He wins game 4.  We both picked the same element.  He got all the hax! :p

[Kakerlake]

Kakerlake 3 - 1 dragonsdemesne

1st: Heck of a tight match! Won by the scratch of a hair.
2nd: Early disco OP!
3rd: RNG helped quite a lot. [Loss by llegal deck]
4th: kind'a mirrory. RNG gave me the good cards and put them also on bottom of dragondemesnes deck.

ggs dragonsdemesne, sry for your bad RNG. This could've gone either way.

edit: 3rd deck was illegal :3

[Kakerlake]

Kakerlake 3 - 1 Zso_Zso

1st: I got a nice start, he had his key cards a bit too late.
2nd: Trolled him with a nice deck. Might've been tight if he drew his counter cards earlier.
3rd: Early Dagger + Duck OP! Early Eternity OP! ... I lost.
4th: Really tight match! I consider myself lucky here.

ggs Zso_Zso! thanks for this intense match.

[dragonsdemesne]

In addition to the schedule I posted earlier, I will have my last day of work for the year on December 20, and don't go back to work until Jan 2, so I can be available (with advance notice needed for late night times) pretty much whenever in that range.

[Fippe94]

Fippe94 3-1 Zso_Zso

Game 1: Dat Comeback. (WIN)
Game 2: Mirror match, he started and got more quanta out, was still pretty even in the first half. (LOSS)
Game 3: Thought I was hardcountered, but he didn't draw the right cards (WIN)
Game 4: Mad a good deck choice, he didn't have much to counter with in this game. (WIN)

GGS!
