Alright, I think we're all up to date, still 5 players left to post their hero list. I'll PM them after supper if they still haven't posted.

Changing the tournament to single elimination was probably a good idea considering we're up to 31 players with a few hours left to sign up, a double elimination probably would have been a two month endeavor...

I'll have the bracket up between 11AM and 2PM tomorrow.

OK I'll go with Paladin, Shaman and Warlock. I thought I should also give a heads up that my wife is due to give birth in a few weeks. So it could happen at anytime. Being a future gamer, I assume he will allow me to fully compete in this tournament.
 
I don't want to brag or anything, but ya know, whoever I face better be prepared for my Shaman deck I've been testing for the past 3 months. It's gonna change the meta
kappa? Shamurloc deck?

I can see through your rouse, just hyping your Shaman deck to throw off your opponent, I fully expect a Priest or Mage opening.

Damn, congrats dude! Though I have some questions about the bolded part...

I haven't been following things for a few days and it appears I missed sign ups, if this is too late that's fine, but I'd like in.

Your both in, we can consider it...under the wire. :)

Who gets the freebie is the question. Last tournament winner?

Rule 20
=) Top seeds get the by and the seeds are determined by the season standings. You're ranked 13 overall, but you'll be seeded 12 for this round because Slayn who's ranked above you in the season rankings didn't sign up.

Alright, brackets are set and available here. There were 31 byes into round two, and only one match for round one, because of this we will play round 1 and 2 simultaneously.

Nicodemic and bunbun777 drew the short straw and will have the extra match in round one, please try to get this one out of the way quickly so ZZMitch isn't kept waiting.

I've had to cut Manhack as he did not provide his hero list in time and I didn't feel it was fair for him to post his hero selection after he knew what his first opponent is playing. Not much of an advantage, but still an advantage and not one anyone else received.

Sorry bud, hopefully you'll be back for the next tournament.

A couple quick reminders:

Post your scores in here once your match is complete.

  • Take a screenshot of your win in case of dispute.
  • I would recommend taking a SS each match just to show the hero's that were selected, just in case someone thinks their being clever by using the same hero after a loss...
  • If you're having trouble getting hold of your opponent, please post in here, if a time comes where I need to make a decision on who advances when a match isn't played, I will likely side with the person who was active in trying to setup the match with their opponent.

So we have until around 1 PM Central time on February the 23rd to complete our matches?

That would be accurate, I'm usually a pretty lenient guy though. If you guys are trying to get your round one match in and can't do it until Monday night or something then I'm sure we can make it work, as long as an effort is being made and you keep us in the loop. For example Livewire posted that he can't play until Monday night so I've asked Procarbine if he wouldn't mind waiting...

So I just found out about this...the OP says there is a cutoff date, yet it says they welcome new signups, is it too late or not?

Wow I always fucking miss these tournaments somehow

Sorry guys, this one just started so there won't be any changes made to the brackets.

The welcome new signups for there for people who didn't play in round one, they were free to sign-up for round two, it'll be the same thing through all six rounds.

Round Three will start around 4 weeks after this one is completed, if you'd like I can add you to the message list for when the next thread goes up.

I wish there was a better way to get the word out, but posting this tournament on the gaming side wouldn't help as it would never be on the first page and I try to avoid shitting up the official Hearthstone thread.

Oh boy rng kicking my butt before the tourney even starts lol...and then the last tourney winner in bracket two...yeesh.

lol, yeah that's a mark of bad luck drawing the 33rd seed, but just imagine how much better the victory will feel!

Just so there's no confusion on how the order was done. All names were entered into Challonge in the order people registered, and then shuffled 3 times. I then moved the ranked players to their correct tournament seeds.
