00:00 - 00:05 | Regional in Nürnberg. "Isi" I said, "come on Top 8 cut". |
00:05 - 00:07 | After only 4 rounds of swiss with 25 participants. |
00:07 - 00:10 | And she said: "I won't play IG!" |
00:11 - 00:16 | It doesn't matter because there are other viable choices like HB, RP and all time favorite NEH. |
00:17 - 00:21 | And if the worst comes to the worst just itentionally draw! |
00:21 - 00:24 | ID! |
00:29 - 00:31 | ID! |
00:31 - 00:34 | Draw intentionally and still make points. |
00:38 - 00:40 | ID! |
00:41 - 00:47 | There have been people intentionally drawing the third round because they knew they would be able to draw again in the last round. |
00:47 - 00:50 | People having 6 points after three rounds did not have a real chance in the last round. |
00:50 - 00:56 | Actually the top 8 was pretty clear after two rounds of swiss. |
00:58 - 01:01 | And two of them even had a first-round bye from store championships. |
01:04 - 01:06 | They played two rounds in total! |
01:07 - 01:08 | And did not even had to win! |
01:13 - 01:14 | ID! |
01:14 - 01:16 | I was one of them. |
01:16 - 01:20 | Winning 4 points by myself. |
01:21 - 01:27 | Thank you FFG, thank you a lot. Great rules. |
01:35 - 01:39 | Self confident i went into final rounds without a corp win yet. |
01:39 - 01:41 | No corp wins! |
01:41 - 01:41 | Enough! |
01:41 - 01:47 | Actually I do feel sorry for those not having a chance of reaching the top cut because of intentional draws. |
01:47 - 01:49 | And I blame FFG for this rule. |
01:50 - 01:53 | Did I say who won by the way? |
01:54 - 01:56 | 4 points in swiss. |
01:56 - 01:58 | No corp wins. |
01:58 - 02:02 | Played two rounds. Weather was nice and Starbucks was nearby. |
02:05 - 02:07 | ID! |
02:10 - 02:11 | Fin... |
02:11 - 02:13 | Finale... |
02:15 - 02:17 | Finale alone took almost 2 hours in total. |
02:17 - 02:20 | I played a deck that is not even able to score an agenda and the runner still can't do shit. |
02:21 - 02:28 | My opponent was playing Noise with imp and shit. And I'm playing 3 CVS just in case, you know. |
02:29 - 02:30 | Industrial Genomics? |
02:30 - 02:32 | Industrial Genomics. |
02:36 - 02:39 | I had Cerebral Static in my starting hand. |
02:40 - 02:42 | Didn't play it. |
02:50 - 02:55 | Waited for him to mill my cards. |
02:56 - 02:58 | Don't you feel ashamed? |
02:58 - 03:05 | Actually not. I Think IG is a little behind which makes my well-deserved victory even more respectable. |
03:05 - 03:09 | Same with Whizzard by the way. |
03:09 - 03:11 | Or anarchs in general. |
03:16 - 03:20 | Thank god MWL is live. |
03:23 - 03:26 | Will try to skip even more rounds in nationals. |
03:31 - 03:36 | I will have have to thank FFG respectfully for the current tournament regulations. |
