Palatinus' OverPower Forum

I had simply pointed out to Jack that it's often standard was to not re-seed the elimination rounds - once elimination brackets are determined they follow the elimination tree.

Ultimately, though, Jack's right - whomever runs the show can use the format they want.

One of these days we'll get our 20+ event. It's aggravating that we usually lose so many of our regulars right at tournament time. 

I agree, the set path is the way to go, with re-seeding being an alternative

I've seen you lobby for the 1/8 vs 2/7 in the semis before, which to me seems to be the worst of the 3 choices.  ideally, you always want to keep the possibility for a 1vs2 final.  what's the thinking behind a 1vs2 semi match?  do any other tournament brackets use this format?

under that bracket, getting seeded 3/4/5/6 would be the most advantageous, as you avoid the top teams until the end

All of the ranked 8 single elimination I've found on the Internet use the format I'm using from now on.

The re-ranking is an alternative because there's a case where #1 #5 #6 and #7 wins, #1 will be playing #5 (the second highest seed).

Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playoff_format#ReseedingFor example, in a regular 8-team bracket, the teams that will meet at the second round will be the winner of the #1 vs. #8 going up against the winner of #4 and #5, and the winner of #2 and #7 going up against the winner of #3 and #6.

I know mike doesn't post here often, but congrats on the win.   love the way you used alpha flight!

couple q's

-were players targeting serpent society, or still going after hfh?

-how many of SS ADs did you use?

i totally disregarded serpent society and went after H4H.  I got lucky and ended up killing H4H before he got out the teammate avoids and negates.

I built that deck as a modern day take on the JLA era, which was all about big attacks.

Any Heroes are inherently weak to attacks 9+.  They were back then, and still are.

Afaik, everyone attacked H4H over the rest of the team.  There could have been an exception, but I doubt more than 1.

It has a single SS AD, but I might put a second in after the results of the tournament.  I didn't have much time to test it beforehand.

Hopefully everyone takes note of this type of deck and stops whinging about Any Heroes being too strong vs battlesites.

I may do a write up on how to build battlesite decks in the current meta if I find the effort to do so.   

yeah, this new data drops anys winning percentage h2h from 65% alllllllllllll the way down to a pathetic 63%

'maybe that's why we beat them at football nearly half the time'

as I said before, as bad as DoW is, it's ability to swing matches is a distant second to it's greatest fault

Any videos coming soon?

Still trying to find the time to work on them.

Videos are coming soon, was working with a new camera for half of the videos so I'm learning a new process to get them onto YouTube. Expect the first few sometime next week.

make sure you only show my good side

it may not matter but ill say this anyway
i thought you couldnt play any character specials after an ally card like theorangeking did at 30:51
sorry king

You are correct. That was an error by me. It won't happen again.

In my OP group in Buffalo, we had been playing the Ally follow up incorrectly. We now understand the rule.

Good catch.

Thank you.
