BEST GAMES (imho)

Time is money Prize (most action-packed game from start to finish)
Quarter-finals series 4 - BlinChik vs TURBO2
Game 4: 12729410 on Palaneum - Rate 10!!!
What a nice little map, so many cool visual features, a real eye-candy, the map selection for this series has been stellar. But mostly, what a game! With the menace of the elimination, the need to step-up, to fight to the very end. This game is dynamite!

EPIC!!!!! Prize
THIRD PLACE Series
Petric vs Tagada game 3:
12736992 on Setons - Rate 10!!!
Another great setons game, this map has been the star of this tournament, and this it's the best game here so far. Back and forth in land and sea, nukes, land drops and a great game from start to finish. Watch out for the naughtiest one Siege Tank drop from Fremy into Tagada, what a run he had.

Honorable mention
Quarter-Final Series 1 - Petric (Fremy) vs Turin Turambar (Sonozaki)
Game 4: 12729025 on The Bermuda Locket - Rate 9.5!!!
Amazing game!!! Brutal fight on all fronts, with air, land and sea. Nail-biting, back and forth, action packed duel by 2 very determined players.

BEST SERIES!!!
This one had a nice history arch, with the climax at the end:

Quarter-finals series 1 - Petric (Fremy) vs Turin Turambar (Sonozaki)

12728585 on crazyrush 8
Typical action-packed Crazy Rush game.

12728786 on Frithen 7
Game was kinda even, then it wasn't and boom. Someone's not playing around. Deadly attack.

12728883 on Z-D Rasty Lite 9
With the tournament on the line, he rises up to the challenge and plays a much more solid game. Both sides fight until the very end in a very nice to watch game.

12729025 on The Bermuda Locket 9.5
Amazing game!!! Brutal fight on all fronts, with air, land and sea. Nail-biting, back and forth, action packed duel by 2 very determined players.

All players can claim their avatar reward by talking to me and can keep track of their group bracket in the main thread. In addition, as people that passed the qualification, they all will have the ability to claim at least $35 in the official tournament!

Also, special thanks to both Endranii (https://www.twitch.tv/endranii) for helping be an emergency streamer when I needed it and harzer99 for helping cover TD responsibilities for the final!

@BlackYps I know this is kinda been and getting off topic, but im kinda old school and rely on say artificial help least as possible in terms of reading and writing.
May not serve me better but I'm not trying to win votes at time , so feeling better is what I don't mind to do.

But to try to get back on topic and subject of some more, I still agree on a tourney or series or etc for Map Gen.
Even though I think in an overall sense to a good majority; Map Gen has been updated, yes, there still might be something to update or add further to really make the most of some sort of regular challenge event of it than it is(was). Mainly from my part is still the thumbnail highlight to least see what kind of maps there's been/are to maybe add. Overall shouldn't be worth much of an actual gameplay change but an element I think is just accustomed to being there, that if did change anything, is there otherwise to do it in regards to Play Tab functions.

Outside that of thumbnails I believe I'm updated with Map Gen to a knowledge base basis and things like changing amount of players per map and map sizes and etc can be changed but an actual practice of them myself , 3v3 10km yes, anything else, no.
As such, how tourneys can be done from Map Gen could be a question in which to ask often. A feature based on regular play that adds up to a tourney event might be nice, but just hosting tourneys as they is is most likely more reasonable.

Thanks

thank you for your feedback, as soon as I'm more free, I'll finish the map. Congratulations to all

Replay review is up, this time I started adding a little description besides the game rating near the end of the reviews. Will keep doing that with the main-event of this amazing tournament.

Also attached all the links to Jagged Appliance's point-of-view that he posted on YT. No game has been actually casted so far, any takes?

Updated the list with links to all the casts that Jagged Appliance did.

If you create the teams before the tourney it isn’t optimal balance?

I’m going to assume you mean some RNG bot creates all the teams from a list of participants. Problem with that is that it doesn’t address any problem of “noob stomp” teams as they still exist and will come down to the whims of a pretourney draft. It also means that high rated players have no way of coming up with some sort of teamplay with their team and the games are just the same low quality garbage of just playing 6v6 dual gap in custom games that Saturday/Sunday. So why even bother having the tournament instead of joining the dozen dual gaps online at any point?

Me and Thomas played yesterday, you can check out my POV here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/719165563

The BO7 took a little over 3:30hrs and included a 1:20hr(ingame time) Isis match with an insane conclusion. It was a fun series, the wager definitely added some intensity to the games. GGs to Thomas.
