[Xiang]

Just curious how many players did attend?

[Neuad]

38, I think was the final count?

[easyrider]

I would've beat Mike in the semis. He would never beat me. I am too good.

[jamis]

This event was a lot of fun. Thanks for posting the top 8.

Unfortunately, I'm going back to Lansing, but I'll be back in December with some more Oozes and maybe a few Tendrils.

[TheShaun]

Maybe I'm just being picky, but shouldn't this be in the tournament results thread and not tournament reports since there isn't actually a report? Interesting how many oozes are showing up though.

[luckymartyr]

Patrick......You sir are a master of puns.

[anonymos]

Interesting how many oozes are showing up though.

Mike is easily amused and was looking for a quick win vs. control that has been creeping steadily into the Ann Arbor meta. He found it and ran with it. I can't explain the other one.

On a side note, the one guy who has Madness Survival stuff wasn't playing that day.

[1mpulse]

I was scared of drawing Birds of Paradise 4 times in a row again, what can I say?

As far as being amused, Ooze seems to be what I've been lacking all this time. Thinking of writing an article about Survival, though need to actually find time first.
