There Can Only Be One ~ Battle Results (1 player remains ~ QuantumT)

The rules say that if you don't play a match for 72 hours, the player is auto eliminated so that means BeauIII is eliminated?

Rules say 96 hours, so he has about 12 to complete a match.

Thanks, when i read the rules before it said 72 and i didn't know they added an extra 24 hours to complete atleast 1 match

One question for organizers - in the third and final game, Napalm closed her browser window on turn 1.  Based on prior rulings in this event, it is apparently ok for people to close browser windows and leave games now, though?

If so, then:

I expected Napalm to play some combination of fire stall, aether war grabow, and fractix; she did.  I tried to build and play some counters; they failed.

Drew 5 aether pillars but no soul catchers.  No soul catchers until turn before I died, so I lose - only able to use a few viruses on some phoenixes, never enough quanta to play bone wall or fractal dragons.

I expected the aether war-legal grabow here and got it.  RTs to prevent Napalm from keeping graboids unburrowed (since silence is OP and lets graboids evolve then burrow to get around CC).  I only drew 3 golems, 1 SS, and zero graboids through first 17 cards, so I lost by one turn. (if I had drawn any of those and I would have won).

I expected fractix here and got it.  I tried building a counter with EQs, plagues, bone walls, and poisons.  In the first game, Napalm closed her browser window on turn 1, and I beat the AI.  We replayed, and I lost (silences prevented plagues / refreshing bone wall at critical juncture late in game).  I guess a better counter would have been a protected titanium shield + healing.

Napalm ~ 3
SteppingStone ~ 0

9 + 4 = 13!!!

gg's Stepping! I'm glad I could get this matchup done finally, now I have 4 days of freedom before I need to face somebody else! Better luck to you next time!

Game 1
I couldn't decide if I wanted to rush or stall. So I went with both! I Stalled his DOSA Faster than he could draw any Soul Catchers.

Game 2
I'm not going to lie. I got lucky this game. Went back to my new pet, Thundroids, as I have just now christened it!, and he went with a deck that SHOULD have countered it fairly effectively. He gave me a run for my money f'sure. Won by a single turn.

Game 3
He pulled out all the stops here. Straight up Bonewall/Plague/EQ. The one deck that I'm ALWAYS worried somebody is going to hit me with. Not sure if there was Stone Skins in there or not. All I know is... Fractix is win. Don't listen to kevkev. He'll try to tell you that "Fractix sucks." It's a lie! You just gotta build it right!

And to clarify... It was not an intentional closing of the tab. I had 3 Upgraded quanta sources in my opening hand, an Immo, an MP, and a Fractal. Leading to an AMAZINGLY early Fractal. No way in @#$% would I want to lose that hand. I was merely tabbing back and forth too quickly, and with 20+ tabs open at once, that "x" becomes bigger and bigger. Accidentally hit it :S

The AI would be absolutely and completely clueless on how to play this deck. My playstyle vs the AI's playstyle was very, very different. You yourself will have to admit this. So beating the AI is no real feat.

But if you want the score to revert to 2-1 and to continue on that's fine by me. It was an honest mistake, but I'd be happy to forfeit that game if it would make you feel better.

A closed tab is a game loss. So, it's up to you SteppingStone81.

P.S. tabbing during a game is
We already have enough server issues.

[SteppingStone81]

I am done with this event, and sick of opponents leaving games and closing windows.  Maybe time for a break from PvP events.

Enjoy the 4 upgrades you get from my feeble soul.

[~Napalm]

Well thanks SS. Srry it had to end that way :S

Note to self: Call all future accidental tab closings timeouts!

[Rainbowninja]

Wait how is BeauIII still in this event? Has it not been 4 days?

[majofa]

BeauIII is not still in the event.... I just wasn't on to take him off yet... but now it's been done.

1 post accounts.... Don't wanna be annoying towards new players, but requiring certain amount of activity prior to joining a PvP event might not be a bad idea....

[Rainbowninja]

Seconded, but we'll have to see if there was a reason.
