The final of the main event (before the Road to Redemption game) is underway!

This marks the event nearing the closing stages, so I am reposting it here so that all players can be aware of it again (Some may have forgotten, considering it started over 6 months ago!)

Edit: Updating players remaining

Edited 4/19/2016 22:12:13

There are way more players remaining than that, or is it just players in current matches remaining?

True Champion: Dr. Walter Ego
Warlight World Champion: Gines
True grafter: Gines

Lockin' in my predictions.

Except it's not the final

GO Walter or Gines. Do it for CORP

I'm glad to be mentioned, but do not overdo it guys :p

buns, I'll have another look, I'm probably missing some of the players who have been moved to the road, in fact, yes, I've just realised I'm missing you! *Dunce*

Seph, this is the final of the main event (single elimination side) unless I'm missing something? I think they are the only 2 players to not have yet lost a match? I guess I could get the data from the event and double check that way (I'll also do that to revise the remaining player list)

Edit: Ok, I used that to update the remaining players (much easier, actually!) and Dr. Walter Ego and dreuj are definitly the only players to not have any loses yet, so they have to be the last 2 players left in the main event.

There are 9 players in the Road to redemption (players with only 1 loss) giving us 11 players remaining total :)

Edit2: I also want to give a shout out to MiniMan, whom has managed to somehow lose both 3 and 4 times. Giving him the most loses by far of any player.

Was looking at MiniMan's games to try and figure out what happened.

This is who's left.

^ Yep, that is accurate :)

Are you using Muli's script to do that? It's a shame you can't do that natively, I just took the data and threw it into Excel...

Also vitriol, nice find, those games are both amazing and special...! :D

Shout-out to Inquisitor for keeping the tournament moving. <3 love ya buddy

^ You were still retired when this thing started, though.
I was invited, but wasn't fast enough to join, eh. :p

Semi, this literally started over 6 months ago, in September... (Just before I went into Hosptital in fact, so I got booted from my main event game!)

I'll probably start the next one after this, so you'll be able to jump into it :)

I could use some suggestions for a template though, something well known and relatively quick would be best :)

And yeah, it filled up in less than 24 hours :P

"(Just before I went into Hospital in fact, so I got booted from my main event game!)"

Eh what? I dare assume that whenever it was is fine, since you are back :D {?}

Also, this was not the added pressure I needed when considering a critical turn in my game with Peixoto. Oh, well I will have to procrastinate my turn until tomorrow.

the bug with miniman has happened in torneys before.

1 st round both players are auto booted. Both players gets a loss (and are sent to redemption) + one of then are awarded the win, as the tourney needs a winner.
MinMan now has 1 loss. Are present in redemption and standard tourney.
Gets booted 2nd game in normal bracket.
Now has 2 losses, and have 2 spots in redemption.
The 1st redemption game has 3 players, since 2 players lost then 1st round in the same game. Minman gets booted here too, along with the other player booted in 1st round.
3 loss, 1 game left.
Gets booted in his 2nd redemption game.
4 losses.

Think this has been reported to FIzzer before, through not 100% sure. ALso don't know if it is fixed.


In this tourney, to add additional confusion there are 2 players named MiniMan. The 2nd one has 3 losses.

The 2nd miniman.
Lost 1st game.
In redemption both players booted (and awarded a loss,) both(!) players also advanced in the road.
Losses 2nd game redemption.
Has 3 losses.

Oh, but did you create a UserVoice so everyone could vote on whether or not we wanted broken stuff to be fixed?

Also, can we increase the boot time next year? I heard that some player(s) had a hard time keeping up with the tournament with 3 day boots. We wouldn't want the true world champion to be excluded by a mere time constraing, now would we? I think 10 days should be good.

Edited 4/8/2016 15:37:26

I was thinking 100 days actually, that really would make it a Championship for only true Warlighters.

(As a lot of players often fail miserably when it comes to spotting sarcasm in Warlight forums, I'm going to go ahead and point out that this is a joke, you're welcome)

There is some discussion in the tournament about the naming of "True Champion" as some people don't feel it differs enough from "Warlight World Champion"

Could people post here about better ideas they might have for the names?

I need one for winning the whole tournament, including the Road to Redemption, and one for the winner of the Single elimination part. The winner of:
https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=10891831

I went with "True" champion because at that point they would be the only player to have never lost a game, true in the sense they are the last person standing undefeated. Everyone else is on the road to Redemption, except for them.

And the winner of the whole tournament I figured would be the Warlight World Champion, as that's the name of the tournament (I realised after perhaps I should have named the tournament Championship + Redemption or something, but never mind)

Anyway, my thoughts were to name the winner of the main event (Single elimination side) as the Warlight World Champion and have the winner of the whole event the "Come back Kid" or something, but in the situation where the winner of the single, beats the player from the Road twice, the winner of the tournament will actually be undefeated, and never have touched redemption at all. So it wouldn't make sense, hence why I named them in the order I did. Remember it's possible to win both medals! :)

There is a medal for most wins too "True Grafter", as it's possible to get more game wins than anyone else but not actually win the tournament, and I feel they deserve a medal for that too :)

TL;DR: If you have to go through the Road of Redemption to win the tournament, can you really call yourself a true champion?
