and a drawn round:

Speaking of which, could you check if Vesuvio could have survived Holy explosion if he made 1x backspace jump there at 32:00?

Yes, an up-jump could have turned the draw into a win. But the timing had to be pretty perfect – there were only 2 frames on which it would have worked: 33:00.74 or 33:00.76. (With a right-facing backflip, it would have only worked at 33:00.78. But with a left-facing bump-backflip, it would have worked on three frames, 33:00.74, 33:00.76, or 33:00.78.)

This report should have the included the round that was voided due to vesuvio's disconnection, and a drawn round:

edit by MonkeyIsland: Replays added to official report.

And here is KinslayeR's attempted backflip Dragon Ball + mine, modified to do more damage. It turns out that a plop is almost possible. Playback at 1:18:

Here is KinslayeR's attempted Grenade + mine plop modified to be successful. This involved placing the grenade 2.5 pixels to the right of where he actually placed it. The reason it failed in the actual game is that my worm fell onto the mine, vertically, instead of horizontally knocking it from the side.

Playback at 4:24:

I forgot to report this one at the time. It should go right after https://www.tus-wa.com/leagues/game-234941/ chronologically.

Was played as a TTL, but we unexpectedly reached our game limit, so I've reported it as "All-round" T17.

But really, what I should have done is this, which would lead to an almost guaranteed win (playback at 32:57):

Edit: This replay was accidentally done with a modified build in which the turn timer stopped counting down before it ran out, resulting in a desynchronization when played in standard builds. I have now added a second attachment, redoing this win, as a standard replay which will play properly. It was actually rather hard to recreate – the HHG usually does not cause a plop, and doesn't cause enough direct damage to be a kill; I got lucky the first time getting it in only 2 attempts.

Edit #2: There are two ways for blue (danie's team) to defeat this and win anyway; the HHG already demonstrated opens a 9 pixel wide gap, making it possible to rope through (attachment #3). This is extremely difficult though, and basically a TA-only move, much more difficult to pull off unassisted than the HHG plop.
But if the Mortar crate is not collected by red, it becomes MUCH easier to get the HHG plop unassisted, and the gap is no longer ropeable even with TA. However, there's still a gap between the protruding root and the ocean that is TA-ropeable (attachment #4), although also extremely difficult and probably essentially impossible to do unassisted.

The Earth Quake I tried at 33:17 had a 6.5% chance of giving me a win.

But, I was very silly to do what I did instead of roping to a guaranteed quake-proof spot. If I had done that, it would have had a 9.9% chance of giving me an instant win.
Or if it only plopped one of his worms (43.0% chance), he could have skimmed a Bazooka to kill me – but if he didn't, I'd have a chance to use my Patsy on him next turn.

On danie's last turn, the Earth Quake had a 57.2% chance of killing me (not 50% as I had guessed).

Here is the shotgun win done on that turn (playback at 28:46):

Player went AFK after 11:26, but came back after the game and agreed to accept this as a win for me.

And an easier, but luck-dependent way I could have drawn the game (playback at 24:00), or dependent on much more luck, won the game:

A (very difficult) way I could have won on my last turn (playback at 24:00):

I know it doesn't make any difference as far as calculation of points goes, but I nevertheless wanted to be clear about what order the games actually occurred in.

Here is a speculative finish to the game (playback at 8:20). Zwitter of course was hugely more likely to win in this scenario than I was, but it makes me feel better to actually play it out. (Though I would have preferred to do this over voice chat + screen sharing, so Zwitter could tell me what to do on his turns.)

In the round that was a draw, it actually would've been easy to win instead. It turns out that exploding the Salvation Army underneath "Super8 & Tab" kills it by a comfortable margin:
