This tournament was worth it, for nothing else than to see folks like Stone Profit highlight themselves as jerkfaces. Long after we forget who won this tournament, we will remember the jerkfaces who cried about not winning the tournament.

Also, because I'm certain that many folks crapped their pants while playing mechwarrior this weekend.

so be honest.....how many times did you empty out your **** bucket?

pros use poop socks. As a wise man told me, after the tournament you can dry your used poopsocks out, then save them to use to start fires in an emergency.

I doubt it. I used Alpine matches to go to the bathroom, cook lunch and dinner. I even took a 10 minute nap playing base defense in my 5M one Assault game.

Congratulations to the winners, also congrats to the guys that did not win but still stuck in there, you guys are hardcore.

Edit: Major spelling mistake.

Congratz, 'Tops!

Your OP is one of the best I've read for any game. You rambled well

Burnt out myself after 140 games of "tryhard"; don't want to think of what shape you were in at the end.

Enjoyed killing that guy who called you out the first game I saw you, and had no probs being in the way of your alpha on the second. Wrong place wrong time.

Clearly a caffeinated beverage endorsement is in order, that or astronaut panties.

Thanks for the wicked breakdown dude. It was a good read, and you made a lot of good observations that will hopefully get the attention they deserve.

Congrats on the win; now sleep, sweet prince.

Twas a pleasure dropping with/against you several times Friday night.

i was going to like this post... but then the Ewwww factor kicked in!

[Deathlike]

The only other observation that I'd like to share is that the medium bracket was the easiest to move up in... I ended up #57 over 111 games (64-47). Either meds are underrated or all the cheese mechs are scattered in the other brackets.

Kudos to you Broceratops and congrats on the win! 485 games played is a ton. I only managed 282. Went 183-99. Still wasn't enough to catch up to you though

I still felt like my weekend went... where? haha. Was fun though seeing consistently good players when they were on. But when they weren't... ELO stuck some really new players in. haha.

See you on the battlefield.

See you on the battlefield.

Getting the ELO tuned up was a good exercise for the community though even if that's the only thing that drove this tournament style. If you get a match instantly, you can now generally count on a 8-5 or 8-6 bloodbath, which is way cool.

The spinning circle matchmaker time also lets you know you are in for an 8-0 or 0-8 if you wait too long. (I suppose for people who played more than 200 games this weekend your only option is being in for an 8-0 as they scrape enough of us mid-packers together for you to stomp.)

[Artgathan]

Congrats Bro!

[Rippthrough]

I was gonna shoot whoever won just to satisfy the demands of my internal smugness meter, but, since it's Bro, I'll let him off.


Plus I shot him enough over the weekend anyway

[Centagon]

Yea.... I kind of figured the grind would feel something like this. Hope it was all worth it!

[White Panther]

The last bunch of posts dont even refer to you (except for mine) but whatever.. all you know about bro is that he played alot this weekend, so to imply all that stuff about having no life isn't very smart, right? anyways.. Congrats broceratops on the win!

[Grimlox]

Oh Broceratops and all others that were playing this weekend.



Crash and Burn

[Pariah Devalis]

Congrats man! Every time I saw you in your Atlas, I'd sigh with relief that I knew a competent pilot was at the stick.

[KKillian]

Bro is very much good teammate even in zombie mode, cant say the same for a few of the other fellas on the board I assumed had any usefulness, but overall most of us are great company, grats bro and hope to continue to see ya on the field!

Just the above reiterated, but once everyone figured out that winning the tourney != winning games and was instead about tagging everyone with a ML,

I think this tournament highlighted a flaw in the game which is awarding kill assists for essentially bad play. Perhaps a minimum requirement where you have to do a certain amount of damage for it to count as a legit kill assist. You could have lower threshold for light mechs and a higher one for assault mechs.

Perhaps give players an added bonus for doing damage to the killshot component. For example, if a mech gets legged, then the guys who shot up the legs get the component kill assist.

There is a lot of room for abuse when it comes to "support" stats.
