I Walk Alone [FINAL] Winner:Krissan

[Theldin]

great job to denominator, it has been a fierce battle in the last several sets...where denominator was starting to make up some ground I think.

Also, good luck to Krissan in our future Final showdown.

[denominator]

Thanks Theldin, it's been an enjoyable battle.

I certainly learned a bunch on the maps I was less experienced at. Good luck in the finals.

[Buda]

AB
Theldin - 94 - advances to finals 4 games still active
Denominator - 55

My count has it at 108-71, with 4 games active.

Well played Theldin. I was hoping I might catch you in rank by the end.

[Krissan]

And it's ON!

First set begins with 9 starts for Theldin and 3 starts for me. That's right - I'm throwing out whiny excuses before a single turn has been taken!

Many thanks to all past competitors for enjoyable battles and huge thanks of course to Buda for rescuing this. I'm a bit hungover, maybe taking care of Hive would be a good thing a day like this.

Will be corrected

[Krissan]

Holy crap, this is a tight one.

[Buda]

There are some issues around games created (they ran from me) so if u dont get any don't worry why will come eventualy

They auto-drop after two weeks or something like that?

In finished games, my latest count has it 43-35 in my favor, though the latest openings have been far from what I wanted, so I expect that lead to shrink in the coming few days. Nailbiter till the very end I think.

Yap and now i have to go game by game to see what i send and what i didnt and create the last 100 again and that will take some time ; as i need a hour or 2 to get that done ull have to wait a bit till i find the time to do it at once

But no worrys u still have alot of games ongoing so a little break from a big load will do u good.

[Buda]

Ok i did it now anyway created 26 more games and send them!
By my investigation i found that from start to Forbidden City map there are only First Nations Americas,Das Schloss and Battle Of Actium that i have allready sent. The rest from start to Forbidden City exept those 3 should be send in coming days.
Before sending next games im going to check again but if u find that u have allready played a certain map plz let me know via wall or msg.

Thanks

PS sry there will be no break in the load

[Theldin]

looks like Krissan is stomping on me this round...

I wouldn't use the word stomping. I have it 65-52 at the moment, not over yet.

[Buda]

hi guys , u play really fast and great
im sry for not updating the score often, was/am kinda busy in RL, u got abouth 20 games left from battle for actium to dass schloss and that will come in next batch.
Theldin is a bit behind but nothing that a bit better dice cant change so krissan is still in danger!

Good luck

[Buda]

All games send and i will update the score now

[Krissan]

So for the finals, is it still first to 102?

[Theldin]

So for the finals, is it still first to 102?

According to the instructions...out of 200 games, winner has more wins by atleast 5...otherwise we play 50 random map games....and then the winner is whoever has most wins period.

My current scorecard says it is 92-100 in your favor....so unless i can win 6 of the remaining 8...I think you win.

Yap and Yap so score is 100 at 92 for Krissan

To go into extended time as we calculate : there is 201 map thats devided by 2 = 100 +5 to win and + that 1 extra map that got in the beta testing that was included so 98 103 would be minimum to win
Just confirming

Gone throug the remaining 9 games and Theldin lost on 2 maps more or less completly and on the others he's wining but there are maps that are still undecided and Krissan needs only 1 win. Will be intense I didn't expect nothing less from u guys

Good luck

[Theldin]

Looks like it comes down to the Conquer Rome game. If I win...we go into overtime.....if Krissan wins...he wins the tourney.

And...the winner is Krissan! Great battle!

[Buda]

EPIC FINALS!!!! 1 game difference !!!

Congratz to bouth finalist's

[Krissan]

I have hope left in a couple of tournies, but this might just have been my very last tournament victory on CC. Huge props to Buda for rescuing it and updating it like a pro.

About 40-50 games in, I had taken a nice lead at about 58-60% of the games won. Managed to keep that lead, though the middle phase of the finals went about 50/50. With ~50 games to go, I had a decent lead of about 12-14 games. I never once felt secure though, and the last two sets were a complete nightmare. All credit in the world to Theldin who completely dominated me in the later stage. No matter what I did, he always seemed to outplay me on a large majority of the maps. Considering how we were trending, I really wouldn't have wanted it to go to overtime, and as Theldin pointed out - it came down to the very last game (Conquer Rome).

All in all, this is one of my proudest tournament wins.

I'm going to look at some stats now, will post if I find something interesting.

[Krissan]

Some notes:

I played 770 games in this tournament. That's 6.8% of all my games.

I did not play every map in every round (only in the last round I believe), but from the maps I did play all times, the following stand out:

First Nations: North America (All lost)
Egypt: Nubia (All lost)
American Civil War (All lost)
Africa (All won)
Germany (All won)
England (All won)

In total, I had a net loss of 81 points, and my win percentage was 59% (455-315).

[Theldin]

I played 894 games and won 552. (62%) That is 23.9% of the total games I have completed.

I won 100% on 30 different maps....but only 17 of them i played all 5 rounds.
I won 0% on 8 maps...including 5 losses on Fractured America.

Krissan was a worthy opponent for the final round, and sadly the victor.

Congrats Krissan!

Congratulations to both Krissan and Theldin - close finals and well earned by both to be there.
