complaining that you have to play against 3 inactives? really?
be happy you arent playing against a higher rank!

i guess i have the highest win/lose ratio in my game, but the game has someone with 3000 games and 20% wins. what the heck does that mean?!

getting paranoid.

Win percentage is a lot more about what kind of games you play than how good you are. If you play mostly 2-player games (as you do) you will probably have a win percentage close to 50%. If you play mostly 4-player games, you will have a win percentage closer to 25%. If you play mostly 6-player games, you will most likely end up with a win percentage somewhere near 18%.

A guy with the 20% win percentage probably plays a lot of big games with 5 or more players.

That is correct. Round two is a "Second Chance" round for the people eliminated in round one. All the winners of that round get to skip it for that reason.

Wait round 2 and 3 started? My first round game just ended because of the deadbeats.

I just won my first round match, game #12992803

Wonder how long this wait will be, lol.

I lost in round 4 three days ago. You think your wait is going to be long? At the time that game ended, only two round three games had ended. He needs to wait for three round four games to start and finish, and for 10 round three games to finish. Can't even imagine what the last round will be like.

That's the one thing I liked and disliked about the tournament: if you were fast and good, you got out of the deadbeats to play with quick people. However, the quick people are usually a LOT better because of how quickly they knocked out their competition.

Is the price count correct? it says the 36 quarter finalists will get a free conquer cup entry, but my math says there will be 64 people in the quarter finals. If you subtract the people who will win better prizes, that still leaves 48. I would hate to miss out on a prize because another player had 4 deadbeats early on and didn't start round 4 until after I had already lost it.

The numbers were wrong, but we'll do the actual numbers. Thanks for the remathing!

Where can players in the tournament view the structure/games/rounds/eliminated players etc? All i see is the emails that I'm in a new gam/round but can't seem to find the location that has the general tournament info.
