I will decide close in time. It looks not bad for tmrw, shoulda rain and temps lower. I didnt play worms for more than half a year. So it will be funny how my games will run  ;D

Sorry if it is a little late for you, I was trying to pick a time to accomodate as many people as possible. Figured most of us would be playing in the evening. Next time I could perhaps make it an hour earlier, we'll see.

Would love it if you joined! Long time. :)



So far, we have a quite good expected turnout.

Expected people:


Possible parttakers:


Also, a little change: games are going to be played Best Of 3! Final and bronze match should be Best Of 5! I realized that if someone won 3-0, but on the other end, 2 players go 3-2 with a tie, winner of the other game would be waiting for an hour possibly and we don't want to put people through that.

Also, if you are waiting for other people to end their games, feel free to play some more Elites against other people who are waiting, just make sure you leave a snooper in the channel. This Tournament is all about playing a lot of Elite games against good opponents, so go ahead. ;)

As with this Double Elimination system, the tournament took more than 4 hours to get to the final, the final was postponed to 26th July, 2015, 1200GMT between Free and Korydex.

Thanks everyone for coming, next time we will organize this to an earlier time.

So we could also postbone the game for bronze? Spoon was off when I finished my semi final vs korydex so it would be fair enough.  ;)

Gj Ray, was a cool move from you doing this cup.  8)

Yea apparently, SPW wasn't going to be in the bronze match anyway, kind of weird.

Anyway, thank you everyone for coming and see you next time! Congratulations to Korydex for the first price!

Gj Korydex.

Just send me a pm with your paypal mailaddress so I can send you the money. You won $25  :)

@Ray, the weird thing is, that spoon is placed on third which is not correct. So I would like to play those games if possible.

SPW, the problem is, I cannot do anything with this unfortunately, because according to the system, you weren't supposed to play the bronze.

You came from the losers bracket and played semi-final there. Winner of your game (Korydex) didn't go to final - he actually went to the bronze match. The loser of the bronze match got the bronze medal and the winner went on to play the final. So, since you lost the semi-final in the loser's bracket, you got eliminated from the tournament and did not go to bronze match.

This does not make too much sense to me either, but I guess this whole system was designed so people play many games in a tournament (at least 2, even if they lose in first round).

Ah ok, I can live with it.  ;)

Peace man!

Yeah, it's double elimination. If you lose in normal bracket you go to loser. If you lose final of losers... you've lost twice and it's gg.
