Personally, I would have rather seen Torterrible win. Oh well. I'd say T4 wasn't that exciting.
Does anyone know what the T4 players in SR se and what won?
Does anybody know if Gino played Call Energy vs. Pachirisu?
I probably should know who you are, but I've been away too long. Anyway, since I don't know where you are in the ratings, I can't comment on your numbers in particular.
But I have been running some math as it relates to my brother, Bobby M., who was 34th in Master in NA going into the event--he went 6-3.
What I think it comes down to for anyone on the cusp is strength of schedule. If you lost three or more games, and were not over 1900, you probably have to come out of the weekend with a net gain to remain in what is essentially a "Top 41" pool.
I don't think anyone under 1900 will be able to break even and remain in the running, because there are simply too many X-2s and X-3s that are going to jump them.
In Bobby's case, there are two estimates that I've worked out, not knowing who he played.
Three losses at -30 each = -90 points
Six wins at +20 each = +120
Net gain: 30
In this model, I think the player makes it.
Three losses at -30 each = -90
Six wins at +15 each = +90
Net gain: 0
In this model, player probably misses.
Now, at 5-4, you can do your own estimate...but you're going to have to hope for a very strong +/- on the day.
some of GG's dominance is due to its effectiveness in the 30 minute single game swiss format.
Does Japan play untimed or timed games in their knock out format?
===================
congrats to Henry, Gino and Orion,
I KNEW IT I KNEW IT EMPOZONG DIDN'T BEAT PLOX!!!
Now PLox will be seen at Worlds alot, I have a feeling.
Well, the rankings updated, and it shows me going down 71 points, from 1895 to 1824. That is of course a HUGE hit, but I'm a little skeptical, because my strength of schedule was actually relatively high (over half of my opponents started the day 1750 or above, and my first loss was to a person above 1840 by round two).
Lots of the rankings appear to be very messed up (Alex H./Mikey F./etc not moving up, Emmanuel D. only going down 25 for 5-4, etcetcetc), so I'll just hold my breath for a little while, and see how things end.
Does anyone know when this will all be sorted out?
Has Mexico Nationals been updated?
When is Canada's Nationals?
