Cup Report

[Cagey]

...And the first M.C. Cup is under way with an early result - Joshualucas7 has eliminated Palmono and is through to the next round

Following a slow start by lobeau, th-child seems set to overturn the home ground* advantage http://www.majorcommand.com/Games/Game.php?gameid=124741

Potstuck has placed his units and invited banthafodder to come on to him, a risky move as it seems that the private may well have stolen a march on the deputy major http://www.majorcommand.com/Games/Game.php?gameid=124729

Using the home ground advantage to the fullest airwick has given PackerHawkeye much to do if he wants to stay in the competition http://www.majorcommand.com/Games/Game.php?gameid=124745

An unlucky start from linkintheory13 has allowed itahiza to set himself up, all still to play for. http://www.majorcommand.com/Games/Game.php?gameid=124728



High ranking games in this round yet to be decided are
marc369 Vs Dreadnought
dorcee Vs lancecorporal
mvpoker Vs WPBRJ
and
Cagey Vs PKHustle

...further results will be brought to you as and when

*home ground=first turn

 

[Cagey]

Also through to the second round is PKHustle, who managed to turn over my home ground and eliminate me from the cup

And Globogym who has knocked out Mark, again second player wins

and to make it a hat-trick lead private Tresitophd has shown the door to Captain BudH - and taken 60 points from him to boot

 

[WPBRJ]

god you suck Bud aaahahahahahahaha

 

[Cagey]

More news just in:

iluvatarr has seen off the challenge from trailblazer

kows has romped home over the defeated BadElmer

and lamby is over the moon in contrast to jjj1124 who's sick as a parrot

 

[Cagey]

In the latest result: masterskye has been knocked out by maren who's claim of dicerape has yet to be confirmed

 

[Cagey]

Our agents at the marc369/Dreadnought game are telling us that Dreadnought is taking his time coming out of the tunnel, initial suspicion that this was gamesmanship from the Legion General appear unfounded as he hasn't been seen for 1day 5hours as of now, another 7 and 1/2 hours and marc369 will get a free turn and an opportunity to steal a march on his opponent.

 

[masterjskye]

Shit, you should be running the league mate... Nice commentary.

And yes, I had a mild spot of dicerape but by that time it was probably all over anyway. That was just the icing on the cake. Well done to Maren.

 

[Cagey]

Games in progress - going into the 9th round in a hard fought contest cadet Itahiza appears certain to pull the curtain down on charge captain linkintheory13's dreams of cup glory.

In another close game private banthafodder is holding major Potstuck to a standstill, 4th round and neither player has taken a command

 

[linkintheory13]

Games in progress - going into the 9th round in a hard fought contest cadet Itahiza appears certain to pull the curtain down on charge captain linkintheory13's dreams of cup glory.

My dreams were shattered after the first two rounds when all I saw was a lot of ice...

 

[airwick]

Great updates Cagey! Nice to read

 

[Cagey]

Todays highlights:

CaptainDanger has romped home over the crushed and bleeding body of MIhopeTC

In a fast and furious game of only 4 rounds paesico has made BallzDeep wonder why he joined the tourney in the first place

In one of the highest ranking matches major mvpoker has proved to charge captain WPBRJ that rank hath it's privileges. Unconfirmed reports say that BudH's reaction to the news was "who sucks now?"

needpapertowel will be needing a paper towel to dry off his tears after his defences crumbled under ST33L's onslaught in another 4 rounder

Despite a spirited comeback from a slow start by boneapart, Chilly managed to prove he had the big battalions on his side

In a game that went all the way to the 9th round ndrm31 finally managed to convert his dominance into victory over the tenacious Red Mike

ongoing game: As earlier reports suggested Dreadnought has in fact missed the kick off, allowing marc369 to build an impressive lead that the legion general will find difficult to overcome

ongoing game: in the third round airwick is asking some hard questions of PackerHawkeye that the charge captain will be hard put to answer

ongoing game: in round three of the gravity Vs bwyan game it appears to be all over bar the blaming of the dice as gravity seems to have the drop on his opponent

ongoing game: coming into the third round th-child appears to have gained the upper hand over Lobeau

ongoing game: in a tense match of 7 rounds so far major Potstuck has only managed to gain a slight numerical superiority over private banthafodder. With both players on 3 cards one suspects the next sets will be critical

 

[Cagey]

In a 10 round marathon cadet itahiza has triumphed over senior captain linkintheory13, winning himself 75 points from his superior officer

 

[Cagey]

In a game lasting a 14 rounds (!) Potstuck has finally managed to chow down on banthafodder in what has been described as an "ass wooping".

 

[Cagey]

In a good natured fight to the death airwick has defeated PackerHawkeye. In the post-game each lauded the other's gameplay. Are those wedding bells I hear?

In the battle of the minnows munitions inspector daangeennaam has romped home over cadet cldsteel. Perhaps this will prove the springboard for the former captain to regain his officer's bars.

ongoing game: Well, not much of a game really, legion general Dreadnought once again failed to show. marc369 is now virtually certain to win by default.

 

[Cagey]

As expected marc369 has defeated legion general Dreadnought and gained 63 points. Having been given a virtual bye into the next round marc will have it all to prove his right to be there.

crown major dorcee has been knocked out of the competition by lead corporal lancecorporal, ceding 59 points to the victorious noncom.

senior captain ironztiger has graced luckyp83 with a lesson on tactics, seeing him off in 4 rounds and taking a whopping 13 points from the unlucky cadet

As earlier reports have suggested gravity has weleased Bwyan from his cup obligations.

Also foreseen was the triumph of th-child over Lobeau. The dice have been blamed.

In a hard fought contest of 9 rounds lead private LeCBass has asserted his dominance over chief lieutenant TheGeneral and gained himself 56 points.

Despite an early lead it has taken miquel 7 rounds to finally break the resistance of wagen203

 

[Cagey]

With 25 games played some statistics can be gleaned:

so far the Higher rank has beaten the Lower ranked opponent 60% of the time, with the lower rank turning the tables in 32% of the games. (8% even ranks)

and the player with the first turn has won 56% of the time. Rather less than I expected.

 

[boneapart]

Thanks Gagey this is great stuff

 

[PKHustle]

Awesome commentary Cagey, hope you get to host some tournaments sometime too. I like the statistics too.

 

[ironztiger]

Awesome, great read. Thank you for spending your time on this Cagey.

 

[ObThundersnot]

Excellent commentary, Cagey. I'm going to keep reading even after I'm gone from this tourney.
