T.O Tourney #7 Results 12/22/08

D.I.N.O

[11] Champion
Just the Top Four for now.

1ST - Silent/Wallace (NightMare)
(Def. Xdest 2 sets)

2nd - Xdest (Amy)
(Def. Dino; Silent to Losers)

3rd - Lawrence (Tira)

4th - Page (Rock, Mina)

Congratz to Wallace on a strong showing with Nightmare, and also to Xdest for doing well again. Hopefully next time you hands won't go numb!!

And my Taki needs a little more work.

I will try to hold another Tourney/Gathering Next Monday (Dec.29th) to prepare for Regionals.

Thanks to all who showed.
 
Stryder left before the tourney started. I didn't even get to play him, and it looks like he's practising with Hilde. :/

Didn't get any vids of my Mina, since I'm the one with the camera, and it wasn't anything too spectacular. I got lucky since people wanted to go Taki, and the main reason I play Mina is to beat Taki. Once I ran into Lawrence and his Tira I was pretty fucked; Tira rapes Mina, and I have almost no Tira experience besides. :/

OOF: I would have gone to your thing after, but once we finished eating it was just too late. Sorry.

I got vids of winners finals, losers finals, grand finals, and most of an XDest vs Silent SUBWAY FARE TO THE DEATH MATCH!!!1 Will upload tomorrow.

Oh sweet, vids of me raging like an idiot/being a nervous wreck.

But yeah, great games silent/wallace. That nightmare, and especially your defense was right-on in both sets of the grand finals. Major props to you. Also, that $2 money match was intense! At least I got some revenge. I've seriously gotta calm down and keep my cool in tournament matches.

Good games to everyone else there.
 
ggs, I gotta work on my defense, try to be more reactive and read patterns instead of getting scared and eating launchers and knockdowns for free, even if I feel satisfied about blocking a good amount of Amy 2B+Ks in the process. Crouching before I even see an attack animation is just a screwy habit I have to break.

I didn't pay complete attention to the finals but the epic $2 match made up for what I missed. Boo Amy!
 
good job to all you guys i'm VERY VERY proud for wallace ^^b

i told you that you will get your 1'st place soon ^^b

All I can say is my Taki needs work.

I was messing up combos against Xdest so I lost that one.

Then PAGE showed me the Power that is Mina. Damn. I went into that fight thinking it was an easy win. Damn

I would like to thank everyone who showed (inclding Chris and Emily even thought they had other plans that day).

Props to Xdest working that Amy, Page working that Mina, and Lawrence for working that Tira.

And mostly Wallace for working that Beastly NM.

BTW Wallace got put to losers by Xdest 3-0 Matches in WF. Once in GF I could really tell Wallace was determined to win. I've actually never EVER EVER seen such a concerned look on his face. The mid battle meditatitons was something totally new for you. MADD PROPS everyone there knew that NM was rape but DAMN!!!

Good shit to all...
 
Good games, everyone attends the tourney.

I have been having a strong desire to get the first place on every tourneys for 5 years from SC2 time, however, Toronto players are too strong that always destroy my characters (SC2 Yunsung, SC3 Siegfried and Raphael, and SC4 Nightmare). =(......
Finally, I do it this times. I'm so glad for that even it is a small tourney. =D

During the tourney, fortunately, Dino didn’t use Voldo, otherwise, he will give us a lot of trouble. By the way, XDest is a strong player also that his Amy scared my Nightmare off at the first battle. When I played against XDest in Grand Final, I know that it is probably my last chance to get the first place. So I said to myself “I can’t lose again. Time will not wait for me. (I’m 30 years old)” I don’t know why my defense is very good on that moment. Incredible.

Dino, thanks for holding this tournament. I understand that you do probably not concentrate on this tourney. And thanks for the donation.

XDest, your Amy is too good on the Wake Up game. It gave me a tough time to get up. Lol….. Also, I’m impressive that you pick up my Nightmare’s style pretty fast. From the conversation about your playing SC4 over night, I knew that you have worked hard to get a good place in tourney. As a new player, you already did a very good job. And the money matches, good come back. =(

Lawrence, finally you picked Tira as your main character. Like I said before, casual play doesn’t prove anything, the most important things are that you can learn from the casual play and win in the tourney. I'm a bad example ~ "beating someone in casual, but losing to everyone in tourney." I really think all old school Toronto players are deceiver and sandbaging player in casual play. haha =D Just like Russell said, "I make you like winning, and then take it away." lol.....

Page, good showing Mina’s potential. And thanks for those recording matches. Haha….. you seem never afraid any strong players you have met. Never!
Good attitude.

Kyper, Yea, Defense is important. However, I think we need to play each other more in casual. And you can try to find a trainer, who will help you to be better. When do you have time?

Rarkon, Sow said that you are using Mitsu? I didn’t know that. Next times I must play your Mitsu.


Stryder, lol…. Why do you leave us early? Anyway, I think you are the fastest reaction player in Toronto because you can guard my Nightmare’s 1A and WS mix-ups in 100% rate that make my nightmare useless. I have to find somethings else to play against you. Lol..… good shit.
And I think your Hilde’s style as same as OOFMATIC’s Hilde. I don’t know if you guys have some special relationship? j/k.. =D

Ember, sorry about that I was not a gentlement when I played against you. However, I tell you that actually I played in 120% mode against you, so you are very special on that day. Sh….. I only played 100% mode against other people that day… don’t tell anyone . =D
Anyway, you have a very good Xianghua. You have potential to beat everyone in the future. GG.


Std, I did it! I did it! (Hug and cry…….)

Sow, thanks. (Hug and cry…….) From our training, I learned a lot. And I think those training help me to get this first place for sure.

OOFMATIC, Sami, Vincent, Franman and Cowie, thanks for the online training.


Thanks Chang's friend's training mode.

And thanks those nightmare players’ contribution in Nightmare’s thread. (Lau, Tiamat, SWBeta, Keev, Schneider-X, twinstar and so on)

Thanks Knightspirit and Wen.

Hahah.... I think I talk too much....

And thanks those old school players didn’t attend the tourney. Lol……………
 
Sounds like a pretty small tourney, but sometimes those are the best for developing your game. Hope to see some of you new faces on Jan. 3rd.
 
Vids are GO:


Grand Final (XDest vs Wallace)

Quality is a little lacking right now, but Youtube has been good enough to re-up all my other videos to HQ, so I'm sure that'll happen with these, too.

Going to upload the money match tonight; that thing was a monster -- almost 18 minutes.
