Random Cup [WINNER:LHDD]

[uckuki]

Random Cup:
Competition for the fans of random maps


BRACKET


Organizers:
[player]uckuki[/player]
[player]Robespierre__[/player]

Estimated time-frame: all wars should start by April 1 or no more than few days
after that. The length will depend on the number of participating clans, hoping we can
reach the finals before the next season of random league starts in September, so we
don't have similar competitions clogging the calendar. There will be 4 rounds of competition.
We should at least have the semi-finals well on the way before September, if we allow
approx. 2.5 months for each round. We don't wanna rush things and as long as wars
proceed at fair pace the cup will proceed in timely fashion.

[uckuki]

all wars up & running

gla

[uckuki]

Round 1 wrapping up, no surprises so far.
all wars either finished, or with 1 or 2 games pending.
Starting Round 2

[Gilligan]

no one else has started yet?

[uckuki]

round 1 is pretty much over. I pmed our opponents, waiting for reply.
we're on schedule at the moment. if there's nothing happening after a while
I'll check on contacts.

[uckuki]

all wars up and running, even foed vs afos
we already have 1 semifinalist: lhdd
congrats

[betiko]

I was having a little look at the different quarter finals to see how things were looking:

RET 28 vs FISO 19
LHDD 42 vs G1 19

FOED 12 vs AFOS 8
OSA 25 vs LOW 21

looks almost certain that the first semifinal will be RET vs LHDD.
The second is too early to call, but OSA is looking good. FOED vs AFOS is wayyyy behind schedule!!!!

[uckuki]

maybe wayy, but no wayyyy. 4 ys is too much.
batch 2 in on, 12:9, looks like
13:11 or 14:10 foed after batch 1

[uckuki]

we got our first semifinal pair: RET vs LHDD
congrats

OSA vs LOW is a close call

our war, FOED vs AFOS, is behind schedule with FOED up 22-11 at the moment with AFOS likely to close that gap some as Batch 2 comes to a close.
Still nowhere near a decision

[uckuki]

osa-low, looks like LoW pulled a comeback and now has 31 wins to advance.

foed-afos 3rd batch this wednesday, so hopefully we'll have the 4th semifinalist soon. Join ASAP, AFOS!

[betiko]

Oh well i wasn t expecting that comeback from LOW!
Let s cut the crap, FOED will make it for sure. So
LHDD v RET
LOW v FOED

I think any clan can win and that the last 4 standing have a very similar level...
When are semis supposed to start?

[uckuki]

lhdd ret can start anytime.
I wouldn't wanna start ours until it's official. 3rd batch is under way, so hopefully
soon.

[Armandolas]

LOW is my pick to win this. They are very solid.
But I will cheer for the frogs.... just because of you betiko

[QuikSilver]

lhdd ret can start anytime.
I wouldn't wanna start ours until it's official. 3rd batch is under way, so hopefully
soon.

Thread will be created in a minute. Terms have been deal, we are ready for a war!

[uckuki]

FOED v LOW is now active.

Semi-Finals are now both in progress.

[Robespierre__]

Looks like LHDD and FOED will emerge from their first sets with slight leads.

Most surprisingly, it looks like FOED vs AFOS will actually be finishing this year.

Robes

[betiko]

Looks like LHDD and FOED will emerge from their first sets with slight leads.

Most surprisingly, it looks like FOED vs AFOS will actually be finishing this year.

Robes

actually, we are finishing our batch 2! 18-13 right now for us, looking 23-17 but a few games are just nice advantages that are not sure wins yet. what's the forecast in your semis?

[uckuki]

batch 2 should start soon
small foed lead, nothing decisive for now

[QuikSilver]

And LHDD going to the final spot!

[uckuki]

congrats

foed-low batch 2 is fully under way
13-7 Foed at the end of batch 1.
dunno when batch 3 will start because many of the games just
went online.

[QuikSilver]

No worries, our war went kind of fast. I'll keep looking at your war to see when it will ends! GL

[uckuki]

we won the first batch, low is winning the second. things will be even,
+- 1, something like that. so, probably no decision until batch 3 is well
under way.

Batch 3 starts tomorrow

[uckuki]

finals: upcoming,
lhdd vs foed/low

batch 3 started, should know 2nd finalist b4 15.

these cup take longer than planned. for next installment round of
16 will be play-in, mini war, speed things up a bit.

Update .... 25-22 FOED with 14 remaining .... coming down to the wire with FOED looking like the odds on favorite.

[uckuki]

finals will be foed-lhdd
