BFME2 1v1 Tournament #2

[Zangief]

Big Spene is back in action so we are having another 1v1 tournament. Rules will be the same as the last time with a slightly different structure.


General Rules
- Starting resources = 1000
- No custom or ring heroes.
- All replays must be saved and emailed to me (I will be recording this on the TDC site so I need to upload the replays). We will need the replays to get stats for the tie breaker.
- If you are sitting out, you may and are in fact encouraged to be an observer.
- We will take as long as needed to complete this tournament. Schedule games with your opponent on your own but please inform all particpants when you will be playing and of the results.
- Any faction may be used (all games).

Format
We have four people so its a perfect double elimination tournament, you must lose twice to be eliminated, even in the championship round. That means if the winner from the winners bracket wins, its over. If the winner of the losers bracket wins, 1 more game must be played. Initial matchups have been randomly chosen. See the brackets below for the matchups and structure.

Maps will be randomly selected from the list below for all rounds except the finals. The winner of the losers bracket will get to chose the map for the final game, and if a game 6 is necessary, the loser of game 5 will get to chose the map for game 6. Host is also to be randomly determined.

Round 1 Results:

Game 1 - Zangief defeats Big Spene
This is the longest game I have ever played in, it was very evenly matched. It was a sword fight (men vs men) and big spene and I utilized similar strategeries. We both failed to make good use of the entire map, confining our attacks to basically one spot, although some sneaky back door raids were attempted by big spene. In the end I think it was my choice of using the earthquake to destroy his base was the key, rather than his choice of Men of the Dead to destroy my army.

Game 2 - Mershmellow defeats Twinkie
Mershmellow was looking for revenge on Twinkie after his loss to him the other night. This turned out to be quite a game as well. Their usual armies, Mershmellow was men and Twinkie was Isenguard. Twinkie was doing more damage to mershmellow through out the game, detroying crucial buildings at his base several times with warg raids and dropping the wildmen of dunland. But mershmellow was the first to reach his level 25 power, using his earthquake to destroy twinkie's base and that was the end of him.

Round 2 Results:

Game 1 - Mershmellow defeats Zangief
I started aggressive, using archers to take down his resource building and his first group of soldiers. Mershmellow is wise though and knows that cavalry is necessary against elves and got 2 groups out quick to counter my archers. I was expecting that was well, so I made pikes to counter (this could go on forever, the key is to find the right combo). I adopted a hit and run stategy, going for quick strikes with my heroes and retreating before he could do much damage. But the horn of gondor so powerful, and my archers froze and then got trampled. I eventually upgraded to silverthorns, but by that point mershmellow had Boromir, Aragorn, and Gandalf. His heroes were too much and even my eagle couldn't stop him. Captain of Gondor (Mershmellow) is really good.

Game 4 - Big Spene defeates Twinkie[/color]

Someone needs to take down the captain of gondor. His reign cannot last forever!

[Zangief]

Big Spene finally beat twinkie so he and I are going to square off. The map will be Ithilien and the host is Big Spene. Hells yeah.

[FrkUout]

It's about time some beat him. Good luck to both.

[Defcon]

I would like to call on the next tourny

[Zangief]

I forgot to update this.

Mershmellow defeated big spene in the finals, thats all the details I have right now.

[FrkUout]

I almost picked up the game with the expansion for PC. They have it at the BX (walmart) for 18 bucks each.

[Zangief]

We play just BFME2, not Rise of the Witch King (the expansion pack). For online play they are two separate games.

[FrkUout]

Then it's only a small investment. I'll have to consider picking it up.
