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? Last edited by Jexik; January 5th, 2015 at 04:06 PM. |

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.

Re: Who is the best Gencon Main Event Player?
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.

Re: Who is the best Gencon Main Event Player?
I've got a new respect for Sacred Band and Parmenio now though.

Re: Who is the best Gencon Main Event Player?
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?

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.
