Re: Who is the best Gencon Main Event Player?

Wow, #75. I thought I'd do a little better than that. Not counting day 1 success definitely changes it a little bit. The year I did make day 2 I went 5-0, back before the days of Reverse the Whip.* I mis-drafted for the first game of day 2, and got knocked out. I did poorly one year because I tried using Q10 (mistake). The other two years I think I was in the top 20 or close to it; at that point the difference between making day 2 and not is how many times the people that beat you went on to win. I think I've seen K-boom take 17th place because last name seemed to be one of the later tiebreakers. GG T's.

Thanks for putting in the work.

*I guess now going 5-0 with a strong army is less impressive, because all the people trying to win it all aren't drafting that way?

Re: Who is the best Gencon Main Event Player?

The lack of day 1 results is somewhat limiting, although as you say they can be tricky to interpret in the RtW era. I could pretty much guarantee making day 2 every year these days, but I would probably lose within the first two rounds on day 2 every time (like I told Matt he would this year before the tournament started).

As I said, the bottom of the list isn't super-meaningful; it's not the worst players as much as "worst average day 2 results among players that have made day 2 at least once". Which is a kind of weird halfway measure.

Also, really, you're tied for #72. I know that makes you feel much better.

Re: Who is the best Gencon Main Event Player?

I'm hoping this year to take a break from Summoner Wars and play the Main Event again. I miss it.

Re: Who is the best Gencon Main Event Player?

I updated with 2015 results. Weesel jumps all the way to #8 with his win. Matthias leapfrogs Mantrainchoochoo and lonewolf into #5 with his second place finish. Deroche totally blew the curve on "Wins Above Deroche", but I'll leave the name anyway.

Please feel free to remove my name from the list. When you play 20 chain fighters you obviously don't give a crap about winning.

Re: Who is the best Gencon Main Event Player?

I think I'm fine with being #8. All you need is a win to boost you up there I guess.

I've got a new respect for Sacred Band and Parmenio now though.

Parmenio is the new metagame. I've just been biding my time before I let the public know that.

Re: Who is the best Gencon Main Event Player?

How relevant are these rankings considering the fact that making Day 2 now really doesn't mean much for most. (Oh look, you brought Cheese.) Making Semis for Main Event is probably the line in the sand these days? @dok

Re: Who is the best Gencon Main Event Player?

It means as much as it means. Before 2011, you could play the same cheese the whole way through. I don't feel the need to bring the format debate into this thread. I'm just extending the scoring system lonewolf first did in 2009 out through the current year.
