My sacrifices on the RNG altar were rewarded. I seriously have never seen a more incompetent array of die-rollers than @Blackfyre’s unfortunate dudes in this past game. I’d love to take credit for strategy in that win, but I ran guys into danger repeatedly only to see them survive to strike again. I feel like the guy who sent out a flight of kamikaze pilots only to learn that half of them made it back alive.
Congrats @rinelk
I always defend SW. RNG is much overrated in this game, you almost can never win a game against a much more skilled player.
But oh god, was I in rage! I’m was running around the house and at work with a pretty unwelcoming facial expression [grim, angry, blamefully], which in turn did not do any good to help raise my self esteem. But it was out of my control… turn after turn i kept getting those shitty dice rolls. No plan ever worked.
So. as this was my second lost game in a row, I’m out unfortunately. And I have to admit to myself, that it was not luck alone, that led to this outcome.
I still have to keep practicing… somehow I’m thinking of “be water my friend”
Hit me for a game anytime guys. Please!

that was a good one, my friend.
THE RNG is watching us! MIGHTY RULER of everything! quantum leaps, asymmetry between matter and antimatter, dice rolls in SW…
I’m another one who believes the RNG gods have an awesome impact. In my game vs. @JHTaube, his Kreep (?) rolled poorly and exited the playing field early, helping my cause considerably. In the end, the lack of early pressure enabled me to prevail. Gg, Joe!
Great job bringing out all three champions. I think better rolls mid-game could have made it more even, but it was going to be an uphill climb no matter what.
Up for a friendly match while we wait for the bracket to catch up?
I’m always up for a game of SW
Sure…
@JHTaube Hysterical. We both chose The Filth! I suggest we start over and forego a mirror match. If you want to choose them again, no problem, I’ll choose another faction.
No harm done. I miffed all my rolls!
Sorry for the holdup, all. I mistakenly thought I had reported my score on Challonge. Invite out for my next match with @HolstenKnight.
Well played, @HolstenKnight! I was very fortunate to pull Chant of Haste at just the right time; that was a pretty hopeless situation, otherwise. @JHTaube, I await your challenge.
Yeah, I just thought: hey maybe I turned the game, as this whatever rat monster showed up and did mean things I did not understand, as I have never seen the card before 
Well played, now go for the finale

For all those who are still checking in…
Gg, Mr Rinella!
I stuttered a bit at the start and Kelsey took quick advantage, so here we are at the very end of the tournamentment. The last match begins!
Good luck!
@zebracadabra, who defeated me in my first game, has now joined the rest of us in the loser’s bracket. Now the remaining question is whether I’m Rocky Balboa from Rocky or Rocky 2.
Final match still not underway. We just returned today, much of the time away from internet. Our six hour drive was nine hours with a complete shutdown of I-95 at one point. Thank you Waze for taking us around the trouble (great app).
I have a lot of catching up to do, business and personal, so I do not expect to open SW until tmw even. I’m sure it was lol be a fun match!
I fondly remember I-95 from childhood trips to Disney World from upstate New York. Well, I remember it, anyway.
Take your time, Z.
My health took a turn for the worse last week. An ER visit turned into admission for observation and although I’m home now, I just do not feel like competing. I don’t feel well and that kills any desire to compete.
I’ve forfeit every game played elsewhere and just forfeit my final match with Kelsey, who is a perfect SW champion. Check out his online record! Far better than mine, so I’m very okay with taking second place the easy way.
It’s been fun and you know I’ll be joking any future tourneys when my health is no longer an issue. Grats to the SW champion!
i’m very concerned about Alan’s health issues and send him all my best wishes for a betterment.
congratulations to worthy 1st StatelyPlay Summoner Wars Champion rinelk! 
Oh, Alan!! I am worried too! Please get better! And if you feel like it, keep us updated. All the best…
Congrats to @rinelk for the Championship, although I’m sure he is worried too.
I always love a good SW competition. Please say if anyone likes a game or two, or just drop me an invite!
