Standings after round 5

[J.V.]

Hey Kevin, what decks are the top 8 playing? I know ELD is playing Ugbr NLU and I assume that Smelski is playing UWb Landstill...?

[Michael Keller]

Nice work Left Field.

[OffTheWall]

Top 4 are tariq v. Geoff
Roddy v. ELD

Tariq and Geoff are landstill, Roddy is Slivers, ELD is 4C thresh.

[J.V.]

So top 8 was:
1 18 Dupuis, Eric 11 62.6667 100.0000 67.1429 5/3/2/0
2 6 Misiaszek, Michael 11 62.6667 85.7143 71.0317 5/3/2/0
3 25 Smelski, Geoff 11 56.0000 85.7143 58.2035 5/3/2/0
4 14 Vagini, Daniel 11 55.3333 75.0000 66.4863 5/3/2/0
5 12 Ruban, Roddy 10 62.5000 66.6667 68.0556 4/2/1/1
6 2 Robinson, Jesse 10 56.6667 58.3333 61.8254 5/3/1/0
7 24 White, Tariq 10 53.3333 75.0000 58.0606 5/3/1/0
8 23 Lukas, Ben 10 51.3333 63.6364 57.2186 5/3/1/0
ELD vs Force_of_Will (ELD wins)
Michael Misiaszek vs Spiderfreak (Spiderfreak wins)
Konsultant vs Jesse Robinson (Konsultant wins)
Daniel Vagini vs RoddyVR (RoddyVR wins)

What were Ben, Jesse, Dan, and Michael playing?

[Michael Keller]

Top 4 are tariq v. Geoff....

You guys might as well get sleeping bags.

[OffTheWall]

Tariq and ELD in the finals. Only took them about 1 1/2 hours. Not nearly as long as the last time there was a landstill mirror in top 8.

[scrumdogg]

Michael Gesundheit is rockout & played Landstill (UWB I believe), Ben was Rgb Goblins, Jesse was Ug Merfolk, and Dan had Black Zoo (Red Death with green?) lots of discard, Magus, Goyf, burn. Good tournament (light turnout though) with quality opponents, old friends, and pleasant interaction. Came up short with (2) losses to Ichorid (wtf? 3 of them, really? Should have factored them into the SB plan better >.<) but had a blast with Imperial Painter.

[RoddyVR]

Very nice tourny, as always. I hope the legacy tournys continue under the new owner.

I played 5 rounds total (bye round 1, split into top 8 round 5, lose top 4)
Wierd pairings from the dci thing that does pairings, of those 5 rounds 4 were to people i play on a regular basis here in worcester, including my two loses to Eric (who i just noticed has a 100% games won breaker... dam man. Good luck in the top 2, if it aint over already)

[ELD]

We ended up splitting in the finals so I could finish trading. Thank you to Kevin for another great event. The competition was excellent, with 4 of my 5 swiss opponents making the Top 8. I'd like to give props to all my opponents, and note that both of my Top 8 matches were vs people I know from Over the Edge on Wednesdays. Playing in a competitive tournament setting every week really is the only way I know of to reach your potential.

[KillemallCFH]

Awesome tournament. I scrubbed out pretty badly, but was quite fun nevertheless. Very sad that this was your last tournament, Kevin.

Rockout = Michael Misiaszek

[mossivo1986]

does that make 4 landstill in the top 8?

[rockout]

My teammate DJ (Daniel) played a new deck our team created called Anal Beats the Cement Dildo (Anal Beats for short.) Working on a primer.

not to take credit but the cement dildo part was my idea

[spiderfreak]

but had a blast with Imperial Painter.

Imperial Painter??? what happened to bule "Alan" men lol

Are you going to Eil's on the 25th.

[OffTheWall]

Thank you to everyone that made it out for my last event. On a positive note though, it is looking like I will be selling the shop, so hopefully the new owner will continue to run events.

I'm going to guess that the "Counterbalances" in Tariq and Geoff's lists are supposed to be counterspell?
