Hey guys,
I couldn't make it to BOM due to work and trying to get some coverage, videos etc. I found this:
Watchdamatch
But don't see any videos there. Anyone know if there's video coverage or not?
No one?
Your not the only one wishing there was better coverage. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any coverage other than the writeups of a few matches on the BOM website.
Hi,
watchdamach will up load the videos monday, they're unable to do it live because of a " piss poor connection" ( their terms).
Meanwhile, there is written coverage by world champion guillaume matignon to be found here or on watchdamach.
None is perfect (or enough), official one gives standing only for 2 or 3 rounds , and watch... don't have videos
for those interested top 8 is supposed to be 2 canadian thresh, tempo zoo, sneak and show, doomsday,maverick, stoneblade, esperblade.
That's a really diverse and balanced top 8. Nice to see SFM-Jace decks still showing up.
It's Europe man, I'm surprised stuff like Elves and Dredge is not up there
The top-8 perfectly shows the four pillars of the European metagame imo. The combo pillar mainly consists of Show and Tell and Storm variants anyways. The 5th pillar, nonexistant in this top-8, would be metagamed midrange/control decks such as Nic Fit and Loam.
2x RUG Tempo
2x UW(x) Blade
2x Combo (Storm and Show&Tell variants)
2x GW(x) Creature Decks (Maverick & Zoo)
Fixed for you .
Also the tempo zoo is a rug tempo list (it is tempo, with stifle waste daze force, just not canadian thresh, play no mongeese but kird ape instead and 15 critters ). Just nitpicking on the different archetype among rug tempo (canadian and blue zoo play differently, goose being little and shrouded vs ape being bigger and vulnerable).
Horrible, just utterly horrible coverage....
It's one of the most important Legacy/T1 event of the year, and the coverage is like that of wizards in 90's...
Atleast it's better than previous years, but still - how hard it is to get a net connection going and hire someone that can actually talk decent English to do updates/commentary?
Meh..
Sad but true.
I'm pretty sure that all you'll hear is that it is not their fault and they are doing the best they can.
Simply. Not. True.
Announcing the coverage will be held by the Magic World Champion is not doing anything better, but makes it even more shameful when you look at the quality.
In response...Hypothek!
I was disappointed by the coverage as well. Shouldn't be that difficult to look for 2-3 people who know the format and who'd like to write some informative bits and pieces. Shave down the prizes by a very small margin - say some foils or a box for each of the writers in addition to their accomodation and you're ready to go. It's not that they'll loose money by doing so. Oh well...
So if the 'officially' announced Top 8 differs from the one shown, are the decklists shown here at watchdamatch the right ones?
Conan, what is best in life? - To crush your enemies, see them driven before you... and to hear the lamentation of their women!
Don't make me laugh. There is no "good" at all in every "coverage" done so far.
As if it is not embarassing enough to not beeing able to show the Top 8 results, there is propably not a single deck list (if it is shown at all) that is 100% correct.
Missing lands, cards that do not exist, seriously?
Well, who am I trying to convince here anyway, as if they give a fukc about all that, cause if they'd do, then things would have been fixed already.
In response...Hypothek!
So is there any Top16 lists?
Someone please copy/paste the Top16 names and decklists please. I've got a lot of friends there that made Top16 and would love to see lists and playoffs.
I just can't get a connection to the coverage server myself. It just worked for a second, so Johannes Gehrer did Top8? Did he win it all in the end?
The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
1. Discuss the unbanning ofLand TaxEarthcraft.
2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
4. Stifle Standstill.
5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).
When you look at the photos, it seems that the other RUG player made it in the end.
His picture is beneath the one of the top 8, so it would make sense.
If you want to make sure, just check out the coverage...oh wait.
