Hidden Tourney Discussion

[Astaroth]

Any thoughts on the Hidden Tourney so far?

Personally, while I generally like rooting for certain players, I find the tourney format very fun so far. I feel we get to see many off the wall strats and the guessing is enjoyable. What I also find nice is that mostly, players just type "gg" if they lose and don't complain much, which imo makes the tourney a lot less toxic.

Any thoughts on who the players are? I know there is a betting with a prizepool going on, but maybe someone wants to share his thoughts anyway. I for my part find it quite hard to identify the players even though I've watched lots of content from most of them. I'd prolly need a spreadsheet and analyse each series closely...

Thoughts?

Toxicity is what draws the crowds in.

Sheckler beat Sheckler very well, damn Sheckler did that FF well, wow Sheckler played way better than Sheckler did, amazing Sheckler.

[iNcog]

thinking the favorite to win is sheckler but of course, sheckler might knock sheckler out first

[TNT333]

I don't know which sheckler to support, maybe sheckler, but sheckler is good too, dunno all sheckler looking good

Yeah, great FI, only a bit of a shame not to have more age4 unit cards. Although that may be too obvious then...

[Aizamk]

They're all me, except for sheckler, who is sheckler

Btw, players, remember to save the recs to post after the tournament is over. there is quite a few games i'm interested in seeing with more deails then a stream provides.

I have my games saved to share later, but would be nice if everyone did that.

You can watch the VODs, no? twitch.tv/esoctv/videos

[Riotcoke]

I'll try and expedite the vods to YouTube tomorrow

I also loved the absolutely hilarious Japanese timing push by bot marco vs Low elo's Sioux, going straight for the TC like a classic RE build.

Sad that we see so little of these funny all-in builds on EP. While some might call them cheese and they can be countered, they can also be very successful, as seen here...
