Me and Thomas played yesterday, you can check out my POV here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/719165563

The BO7 took a little over 3:30hrs and included a 1:20hr(ingame time) Isis match with an insane conclusion. It was a fun series, the wager definitely added some intensity to the games. GGs to Thomas.

Result:

Myself and Thomas are playing at 5pm GMT+1 tomorrow, 23/8. There's a $50 wager from each of us and $20 on top from FAF through Ftx. Winner takes all. I'll be streaming live here: https://www.twitch.tv/jaggedappliance

Here's the map pool and the factions we chose:

Code:: Map Pool: Thomas: Jagged: Point of Reach v4 Seraphim Seraphim Esgaroth's Ruins UEF UEF Red Rocks Cybran Seraphim Sun Dragon Temple Seraphim Seraphim Fields of Isis Aeon UEF Open Palms Cybran Cybran Syrtis Major UEF UEF

We chose the maps by vetoing maps from the ladder pool one by one. Then we realised that loki had imbalanced reclaim so we replaced it with syrtis. We each chose maps in turns to decide the order of play. The player that chose the map also got second choice of faction on the map(in hindsight this is unlikely to be the best system.)

can I suggest a previous tourney rule:
at the start, use random.org to select Player1, Player1 must choose a faction in the 1st match and lock it, after Player1 chooses the faction, Player2 must choose a different faction. In the next match roles switch.

This was used in the Zed's are dead tourney(Zock & Zlo) , there was also a secret map selection that consisted in player votes and vetos, you can check the forum post if you want to take a look.

JaggedAppliance and ThomasHiatt will be playing a BO7 using the ladder pool in a few weeks for a $120 pool! $50 per player and I’ll put $20 in from FAF.

I’ll update this post if any hard date gets set.

I'll play a BO7 against someone, willing to put some $ in too. There is only a couple active people around my rating, hopefully someone will bite. If not i'd still play against someone higher ranked, but maybe for less money.

I'm fairly busy over the next couple weeks anyway so that gives me time to find someone.

Blackheart has challenged me to a $1000 BO7 on The Dark Heart in which I am only allowed to play UEF. I am not interested in wagering $1000 as Blackheart is quite similar to me in skill, if not better, and I am given a faction restriction, but I will wager $50 on this match. If Blackheart finds these stakes acceptable, I will work out a time to play sometime within the next few weeks. I need some time to unrust and prepare.

Is there any person in this community that would wager $50 on a BO7 series against me?

For one, I’m not putting money into anything where I haven’t verified funds existing. If you were so adamant about this, you’d be contacting me for a paypal address to send the funds to.

Two, it’s been two days, two weekdays, and so I haven’t even had a chance to think about the situation.

Three, I’m uninterested in entertaining delusional conspiracies. All this is doing is giving me flashbacks to your last, fake tournament attempt. Frankly this manufactured drama attempt just makes me think there was never going to be any games, so this really has no effect on me at all.

I like playing swkoll and I love the idea of the grudge matches, especially the part with the strongly worded letter, and I love the idea of wagers so you get the feeling something is on the line, like a boxing match. very cool!

what I dont love is the idea that apparently me and swkoll are not interesting enough for such matches to be supported as opposed to what you have promised.
you make a proposal with the intent to increase ladder activity, add something new, add some spice to the competitive scene. swkoll and myself both currently active in both forums and the game itself first stumble across your post and see a natural fit and propose a match, the impulse came from swkoll btw.

then we see that there is clearly a two class system in place with favoritism and such, and apparently me or swkoll or both of us arnt deemed worthy, skilled or popular enough to receive support. you even ask for conditions: "please use rng, dont use ladder" and try to impose your ideas of how the match has to look, obviously admitting that we do this thing here now. and then you have the insolence to treat as as not worthy to be supported. if you wanted to support you could add a formal 10 dollars to the match to acknowlege it, but you dont.

for that reason I withdraw my challenge. I can play mozy or swkoll in ladder, we are 5 people in ladder in our range and dont need your challenge, if its only hot air anyway or only deemed for the 25 remaining people above our ladder rating.

sorry but I really dont like it that way, I feel disrespected to the core and now feel less motivated to play ladder or do anything for this community than I have before you proposed this pretty fun idea.
