KYakerDude over @Feygor. 2-0. Great games! I thought there was no way I was winning the second game.

GG, yes the 2nd was close.

Final results:

Both finalists and third-place winner advance to the Grand Finals.

So basically hang out for a bit, guys. That big 12-player bracket will need to finish up.

This one is done, too:

So, @JHTaube — the reincarnation of Gary Bot — advances to the Grand Finals. All else are eliminated.

Same as above: stay tuned while the bigger bracket finishes.

We seem to have stalled.

Status report, @whovian223, @JaneHatke, @robthomasson, @jason1002 ?

my game 3 with @JaneHatke is a turn or two from being done.

Good game!

So close!!!

Great game indeed.

@jason1002 and I are playing our decider game … 3 Honor left. I do not expect to win.

Man, if so, that would mean all four of our semifinalists came out of the first round and have had to win twice. #unlikely

The last game was very close but I was able to win. I went 2-1 vs @robthomasson

Two points was enough to seal the deal … now you have to win the whole thing so I can have the consolation of losing out to the supreme champion!

Lol, yes, you had a lot of points on your cards from mechana constructs but it wasn’t enough. Some of these guys will be tough to beat. Have a good isolation in London

Update:

All four of our semifinalists above have qualified for the Grand Finals.

If there’s interest, we can close down this bracket and head straight into the final eight. If not, we need to play out the above matches.

The fault is mine; I should have realized we’d get all off-kilter, timing-wise.

The only difference, as I’ve mentioned a few times, will come in terms of seeding for the Grand Finals. There are advantages to a higher seed.

So, we can:

  1. Move straight to the finals. I will randomize the seeds for the four players above;
  2. Play it out.

I’ll let the players decide. Please cast a vote here, @JaneHatke, @irishdomer08, @jason1002, @Hardco

I could go either way, but I have already started a game with Hardco because I thought that was what I had to do.

Keep going.

If the others have started, too, we’ll likely just play it out.
