The round of 32 is in the past now, and betting was as much of a battlefield as Kamchatka. With SoldieR's dopples obliterating IrishFaithful's musks, many betters saw their points evaporate. To almost everybody's surprise, that series ended in a 3-2 and it wasn't the only one. It wasn't the most impactful one, either. Yesterday, when the day was still young, a betting record was shattered. Breeze stole 2 games from a distraught LordRaphael, who barely came out on top in the end. 90 points out of 8864 were bet on the 3-2 result, making the winning odds a record-breaking
87.58. Zoom's 80 point bet got him from 500 to 7406 points, and my 10 point bet won me 800. Darwin_ won 2 points, and those were the only 3 winners that match. An absolute bloodbath.
Speaking of zoom, he's got over 21000 points now.
It all happened so fast...
There was the LordRaphael 3-2 ageofkiller winning zoom 6906 points, then Jerom 2-3 SomppuKunkku won him 6894 points. The aforementioned SoldieR 2-3 IrishFaithful won him another 4760. Suddenly, in the span of 3 matches the barely alive zoom found himself in first place, where let's face it he belongs. At this point I don't even know what to say any more. We might as well just give the guy the 50$. Is his 8029 point win in the Aizamk 3-0 AdrianCarrot series even a surprise any more? If you're looking for someone to point your pitchforks towards, it's LordRaphael who in his infinite wisdom decided to donate 500 points to the God of betting after he had been eliminated for the third time this event.
All is not lost however. Umeu, Victor_swe and n0el are all sitting around 10000 points and as we have seen, things can turn around quickly. Of course as of now they are all halving zoom's stack.
There is one better who is still ahead of zoom. Is Jerom the betting messiah? He is sitting in first place, on 22759 points, having sneaked ahead of zoom after zoom lost 4129 points betting on LoOk_tOm (in his defense the odds were looking juicy). Some of you may remember Jerom was also in first place after the round of 64, and with all said and done he did hold onto his spot. He increased his stack by a healthy 6000 points throughout the round of 32, betting relatively safely. Though he is surely feeling the heat at this point, and safe betting may not be enough against the phenomenon that is zoom.
Shoutout to gh0st, an up and coming better who finds himself at 3753 points coming back from a donation from none other than zoom, who generously offered 250 points to anyone who would claim them. Wp.
A moment of silence for knusch, as well as a reminder that when zoom wins other people lose. Knusch lost his entire 9566 point stack betting on AdrianCarrot, Aizamks mysterious opponent. You had to wonder if he knew something we all didn't, but it turns out Adrian was not a top level smurf after all. Aiz took the series convincingly, and knusch dropped to zero points. He had better luck in the tournament though, winning his tournament match against yours truly 3-2. This was also the match that finally confirmed that Brits are top civ.
Overall an excellent round of betting. Big wins, big losses, close and entertaining series and a ton of shifts in the top 3. Check out the history sheet here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... =247843266.
We'll see if things stabilize in the round of 16, somehow I doubt it. Good luck to all except zoom, and especially Jerom. Our hopes are on you now, young padawan. Stay ahead of him, and be wary of his 1000 point bets on big odds! Somehow those results always end up happening...
