Thank you to everybody running the tournament who have worked to correct this issue. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a giant pain in the butt. It means a lot to us, all the time you've all put into this. Looking forward to continuing the round of 16, once things get figured out.

Id say former champion T4 might be in with an upset chance and untouchable is hard to bet against and wheelwright is very strong.

GloriousL - kizkiz An end to a glorious run ?
_Untouchable - ZaBeast cant touch this !
Iron Maid - Kingm Iron King will win !
Wheelwright - Pajarito stop press with only 7 first starts (8.35%) wheel boy might have blown a turbo...oh dear. Turns out no turbo required.
t4mcr53s2 - Donelladan upset predicted !
Clanlord Carl - Fyrdraca I mean come on its the Clanlord !
hjelp - Bariclaw Da Claw wants a final rematch he has to get there first !
dkmaster - rousseau72 Another impossible to call.

I see on the finished matches 10/9 for Clanlord and 11/8 for kizkiz.
My series will probably finish 10/9 as well.
Looking logical for the 1vs1 games which are basically coin flip games when both player have a bit of skills. :roll:

I have my series vs Iron Made down to 10-9 or 11-8 to me, but its still time for me to do a bottlejob.
And the reason I would call it a bottle is that I got freaking 13 starts, and that's just nasty, should be a way to code it so that one player gets 10 starts and the other 9, because this is just unfair, and I would be so pissed if I was IM, and if I advance to the last 8, then I'm sure karma will kick me and my teeth and I don't get any starts at all.

If it was 'random' how come i was able to predict all the match results so early based purely on what i know the players relative 1v1 strengths are. 19 games is enough for randomness to be partily eliminated. Press i think i under estimated Rousseau...DK up against it.

All finished matches so far are by one or two games.
One game difference can literally be one roll in one turn.
Finishing 10 to 9 means there is basically no skill difference.
I bet you if we'd play the exact same series again half of the winner would be different, hence random.
