@thedew: Still alive. Check your PMs.

I'll wait through the night to get updates - otherwise I'm going to set a deadline. Two weeks is... excessive.

Maybe not this time, but next tournament, the final four should cut wrestling promos.

@sir_gunblade: Thats a fantastic idea.

I've updated the post with info on the finals.

@c0v3rt: Just looking at your stream info for the finals - is there still no spectator mode yet? Would love to do some HS casting, I've done a fair bit of University Starcraft casting already.

@bollard: No spectator mode yet unfortunately. It's a feature that they really need to add though!

@c0v3rt: Probably after they get Naxxramus and Android/iPhone versions out the way they'll work on it. They have to with it being picked up as an eSport and Team Liquid picking up a pro player. No way it'll take off at LANs otherwise.

Starting the stream now. Remember - 10 minute delay and all that... www.twitch.tv/c0v3rt

Just realized @sir_gunblade has made his run to the top 3 unscathed. Not a single loss. I guess I don't feel so bad getting put into losers by him.

Match one is complete - @sir_gunblade those were intense. You're still my odds on favorite to win.

Up next is StarvingGamer vs Chim21 live on twitch... http://www.twitch.tv/thechim21

And the games are complete. I'll upload the VODs here when they're available. Each series went 3-2 - setting up @starvinggamer vs @sir_gunblade in a death match where two men will enter, but only one will leave. Winner plays me. Mr @chim21 - you're a scrappy little hooker with a heart of gold. Thanks for participating, you had a great run. Hopefully we see you whenever we do one of these again.

Chim21 vs StarvingGamer: http://www.twitch.tv/thechim21/b/551601700

Good thing we aren't doing extended series /barf because otherwise I'd be at 0-2 already.

Finals are tonight (8/2), right now StarvingGamer and sir_gunblade are in the consolation bracket finals - winner plays me. I'll be broadcasting on twitch with a 10 minute delay if anyone wants to watch. If you can't make it, I'll post the VOD when it's available. My twitch channel is www.twitch.tv/c0v3rt

And we're live (on a 10 minute delay). Me vs StarvingGamer who came back after being down 0-2. Join us if you want? www.twitch.tv/c0v3rt

BWAAAAAAAARGH GGs

Great series Starving, 3-0 and 3-0. No one went undefeated, so that's swell. I'll post the VOD later, but both series were crazy! At some point I'll probably write a blog recapping the whole thing and share what I learned in running the tournament in-case anyone wants to do so in the future.

A genuine thank you to everyone who participated in the tournament. Without you none of this would have been possible. Lets give this tournament some time to breathe, and do it again sometime.

Edit - Here are the finals: http://www.twitch.tv/c0v3rt/c/4807639

After two long months, I can clear out some deck slots. Here is what I used. If anyone still has theirs, I'd love to see them too? I love the aggro warrior deck. It's timeless and is good for laddering up to about 11. Ramp is your standard ramp. It's a netdeck so all credit goes to Gaara. This iteration of handlock is pretty old, modern takes have Sunwalkers, Senjins, or Sludge Belchers.

Tournament organizer wins own tournament.

COLLUSION! *COV3RT get hits by towncar being driven by mysterious driver*

jk, luv you. Would play another tournament at some point.

Great job running the tournament, especially with switching it to double elim on the fly to give everyone a chance at more games. I had a ton of fun playing even if I mostly facerolled everyone with the dirtiest of dirty decks. Unfortunately I don't play the game nearly enough to feel comfortable using my own slapdash brews. It might be fun to schedule the next for for some time around when all the Naxx wings are out when the meta will probably be at its craziest with all the new cards.

And yeah, it'll be nice to finally change my decks around.

I'd post my decks, but since I got knocked out like a bazillion weeks ago, and I've gotten a few more rares and epics and legendaries since then, I believe they've all changed a little bit.
