GameZZone: Diablo [Winner: ZionT]

[amazzony]

Hell, Act 2
10 games still active in this act though it seems that they won't end up stalemates (please?).

[Bones2484]

Hi ZZ! All four games in our group are finished. Well, the last will be finished as soon as tax logs in and finishes me off.

If I calculated the scores correctly (which I probably messed up since I misread the scoring and had to fix my calculations), looks like we were really able to hold down those top 2!

Bones248 - 46 points for 474 total
LLC22 - 17 points for 463 total
ZionT - 11 points for 459 total

2 more rounds to go and extremely tight at the top! I'm hoping Hath didn't do too well in one of the other groups.

[amazzony]

Hello, Bones! (Hell, Act 2)
It's really close at the top and I am totally loving it. Bones2484 (474 points), LLC22 (460), ZionT (457), PepeAtila (429) - all have finished their games this act. Hath (404), Nikita42 (388), Pheonix.bradley (385) and Theldin (383) don't have points from this act yet. My bet would be that one of those 8 people will decide the winner but who exactly and how many are still in the competition after everybody have received points from this act is going to be interesting.

Scoreboards updated!

[amazzony]

Hell, Act 2
3 more active games in this Act, after that moving on to the third Act of the final difficulty. BTW, Hath has done quite well, winning 2 games in his group so he will climb to the top also after this Act. Theldin and Nikita not so strong sets; Pheonix.bradley also won 2 games so he is going higher also.

[amazzony]

Hell, Act 2
There's just one more game left in this Act. BTW, Pheonix.bradley has made an amazing round and is now only 1 point behind of Bones after this Act.

[amazzony]

Hell, Act 3
Act 2 is done and things are still interesting which I am glad about it because I couldn't predict how the ending might be with such a long tournament. Hath is currently at lead with 487 points, Bones2484 is second 474 points, Pheonix.bradley with 473 is third, LLC22 (460) fourth and ZionT (457) fifth. Top 5 is in 30 points which makes it possible for all of them to win the tournament. I'd still give slight chance to next 5 also: Theldin (433), PepeAtila (429), Nikita42 (404), Johnny Rico (396), ETROPAL (392).

Games of Act 3 will be sent out shortly. All scoreboards are updated!

Hell, Act 3
[player]drj1mmy[/player] and [player]Pringleplace[/player] have both missed their 3 invites, therefore they will be replaced by [player]scottie[/player] and [player]saraith[/player] accordingly.

[amazzony]

Hell, Act 3
All 16 games of this Act are active. I won't be around much next week so no updates in... 7-10 days.

[amazzony]

Hell, Act 3
7 games still active in this Act. As soon as all the games are done, I'll update the scoreboard, send out last batch of games and hope for a magnificent and powerful endgame

[amazzony]

Hell, Act 3
We are waiting for group 3 to finish all of their games.

[ZionT]

This has taken a little while, but it's coming soon! Someone will emerge victorious.

What a tight finish this tourney will have in the end.

Hopefully I'm quite worried that those games will end in a stalemate, it would be awful at this stage of the tournament

[amazzony]

Hell, Act 3
Just 1 more game left to finish in this Act. It should be over soon because there are a few eliminations in that game already: Game 9227362.

[ZionT]

Game 9227362 is over. Ralphptc won! Well done. Looks like Act 3 is complete.

One more Act in this tournament!

Awesome!

Final Act coming out in a couple of hours.

Hell, Act 4 (Final Act!)
Here we are - last set of games has been created and sent out Probably the longest games are going to be for group 3 (Age Of Merchants, Sequential, No Spoils, Adjacent, Manual, Foggy) thought First Nations Americas proved last round to take quite some time, too. I won't be updating the scoreboard before ALL games are done to keep some fairness and intensity in the tournament until the end.

All scoreboards are updated. Clearly the experience scoreboard is the most interesting and here's a small summary of it. Before last games ZionT (539 points) has taken a lead. Bones2484 (516) is behind 23 points. LLC22 (508) is third and losing 8 points to second place. After that come Pheonix.bradley (503), Hath (496), Nikita42 (481). It seems that rest of the players are out of the competition for the first place due to caps being too big.

Out of the top 6 we have ZionT, Bones2484, LLC22 and Nikita42 (first, second, third and sixth) in group 1. Pheonix.bradley is in second group and Hath in the third group.

All of this gives us an incredibly interesting situation!

[amazzony]

Hell, Act 4 (Final Act!)
None of the games have started yet, I have sent out invites and hopefully most of the games will begin very shortly. I probably have to replace one player but more about it when it actually becomes real.

[amazzony]

Hell, Act 4 (Final Act!)
3 groups have started, fourth will begin as soon as I make replacement of Shai vs Johnny Rico. Johnny Rico hasn't contacted me but he doesn't seem to have open spots for the tournament so I will replace him as soon as the current invites wear out (unless he gives me a reasonable time when he can join the games).

[amazzony]

Hell, Act 4 (Final Act!)
Replacement of Shai vs Johnny Rico has been made, hopefully last group will get their games going shortly.

Congrats Zion, I know all the games aren't done yet but I'm pretty sure you have got this one won.

[ZionT]

Thanks Spidey! I won't count my eggs until they hatch, but it looks pretty good since the Top 3 were in our bracket.

[amazzony]

I feel a bit bad to end a tournament before all games are finished but the last 4 games might go on forever and there is no possibility that one of those players will grab the title away from the winner, therefore I am happy to declare this very long and kinda exhausting tournament finished!

Congratulations to the winner: ZionT!

And thank you so much to everybody who hanged on until the end (it must of been tiresome), responsible players mean a lot to me and they make running of such long tournaments possible!

Hopefully see you around in other (GameZZone) tournaments!

[ZionT]

Thank you! This was a super rewarding tourney victory. Thanks to all the great players who participated, it was a fun one.

Gracias!
