Gencon 2019 Results

[dok]

I dunno man, that guy got 8 Blind Rages in a row and still couldn't win...

[Matthias Maccabeus]

I hope everyone understands I’m just trash talking. I only really care that I’m better than dok. I truly don’t care about the rest. I just play for fun. We have a great game and a great community. The fact that I can trash talk and pull out a few wins here and there is all the more fun. My game against Brian was probably the most fun I’ve had in a super long time. It was very challenging and he was a super great sport the whole time. He let me joke around and trash talk and was super cool the whole time. That’s why We run gen con events for games just like that. You guys are the best gaming community I have ever been involved in and you all should pat yourselves on the back for it. Even if we disagree on customs or type of events we generally handle it civilly and get along. Good times!!

I'm psyched to finally have some of those sweet GenCon dice. Also I can now say that I beat dok, which is some serious street cred.

I had a blast this year--thank you guys for a great time, and for enduring my lack of social skills. I'm already thinking about what army I want to bring next year.

Congrats Sir Denrick! I noticed no “lack of social skills” at Islandscape. You just quickly and quietly crushed us. No trash talk, crude jokes, etc. A perfect gentleman.

I am 100% sure, Matthias, that 100% of the people here who have met you know that you were just trash talking.

You guys were great this year, as always. Cheers!

I've enjoyed Sir Dendrik's's sense of humor for years; it just usually doesn't come out in the middle of his games. Check out any of his stuff in the old Summoner Wars forums (he's Esper88 there).

You guys are silly. The top players are Craig Van Ness, Rob Daviau, and Stephen whateverhislastnameis.

Edit: And 4th is Bobby Fischer.

Thanks guys!

I had a great run this year, 14-0! I don't think I'll be able to duplicate it, but it was rush while it was going.

Thanks for having my back @Dad_Scaper , but I'm not offended.

I played @kevindola at my first tournament way back in 2011. He was actually my first ever lose. Since then we've clashed both online and at Illinois tournaments. He's a very skilled opponent. I consider him, @dok and @Matthias Maccabeus to be the undeniable top three right now.

For people who don't make it over to the online scape area of the forum, you may find the online player rankings thread interesting.

[Matthias Maccabeus]

For clarification purposes, I’m above dok. I mean everybody already knew that but maybe for the one guy that didn’t.

You can't forget about some of the old greats as well. I know the metagame has changed, but @spider_poison would catch on in a heartbeat. The brothers @ManTrainChooChoo and
@Mattstertruckrally also deserve top nomination for their consistent high performance.

Veggie and I just finished up our HoB Uniques finals online. I ended up with the W.

Congrats, you wily tree pig!

The Schaub brothers are definitely some of the best (definitely best in Ohio), wish they still played, but I think they’re still busy with http://Cohio Games.

But it is hard to say because not all the great players get to Gencon, some only online while others only at smaller tournaments and events.
