And so, we have a rematch in kingm vs josko.ri in the Lower Bracket Finals. Winner faces prismsaber for the Trophy.

Good luck fellas.

Congrats for advancing!

Just a reminder for Kingm and anyone following the tournament: if Kingm wins the best of 7, we will play a repeat best of 7 because this is a double elimination tournament and I haven't managed to lose just yet. I need to defeat Kingm only once to win. If a repeat best of 7 becomes necessary, we will roll a new set of 7 maps.

Best luck for both finalists

I thought it started out as a close match but it ended up a bloodbath. Congrats to Kingm for forcing a decisive final best of 7.

I'll roll the last group of maps before the end of the day.

Some thoughts:
It's a bit cringe (as the kids say) for the organizer to win so sorry about that.

Thanks to all for playing.

I had as much fun running the tournament as playing it (mainly because playing Kingm 21 freakin times was quite stressful down the stretch). I decided to run my own tournament because I wasn't seeing any tournies that had my preferred settings (simple maps in team or polymorphic format). I remember this being an issue even way back 15 years ago when I was more active.

I think double elimination gets you a real battle-tested winner, but the downside is there is a fair amount of downtime for those in the Upper Bracket. They can end up waiting around for weeks for their next matchup. I'll probably try running some single elim tournaments next. I also have a sort of grand idea for a round robin style tournament but that will wait til' later.
