uh, I don't mean to alarm anyone, but according to my research ExSeth has literally never been defeated in tournament.
flagrantangles, I demand a reshuffling of the bracket! You've locked me in here with a murderer! HELP! I'M JUST A BOY! I HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR!

flagrantangles wins 4-1 vs utralaw - Perfect! In this series of canon battles, we see the fight between "truth" and justice! I do pretty well in the first battle. My opening is very solid and I am able to navigate pretty cleanly despite a few hiccoughs, the game is still mine. The second match sees an even stronger opening, but then a much bigger comeback from UTRALAW. I'm still able to close it out, but now I'm getting antsy. The third match was a match of devastation. I'm undone and UTRALAW opens me like a can of something canned. He closed it out with a Pilebunker. #BALLER4LYFE The fourth match sees another resoundingly successful opening for UTRALAW. He gets me down to around 20 before I can do anything. However, I land a Patriot Mirror and soon everything's coming up angles. I'm able to snatch a victory out of the jaws of defeat. In the final match, I run a train over UTRALAW. I open with a Truth Geyser that he blocks. However, it does chip damage so I start the spin cycle. I show a King and then I 9-throw because I'm certain he is going to block. He does and my stupidly risky play is rewarded. From there, some Two Truths helps me refuel and keep the engine running. Near the end I don't get the crossup I'm hoping for but then I chuck another Truth Geyser into PCP so back into the vortex we go. For the last combat reveal, I have spun a King and I'm contemplating throwing it out there for safety reasons. However, I decide to be ballsy and chuck out a 6 attack. It defeats his 8-throw and then I combo into Consent of the Governed for the win. GGs utralaw

Thanks SPH, that was all around a top-notch set. Here's my PoV, as I'm sure everyone wants to see my reaction as I flip Joker after Joker on RTD/in the middle of Blackjack... (uploading/processing for now)

Even with the BBB counterpick, I still have a soft spot vs. Troq. I'm kind of glad to finally take an L, though. Looking forward to working through the lower bracket and making a comeback.

Zejety 4-1 @kraetyz << A big walopping. Got me close to tilting. Popped the first BS quickly but the second one lasted many, many turns. >> Blocked a lot more in this one. Helped me avoid Bubble Shields. >> Booped the first two range attacks, then let it happen to get some cards. Got out rather inexpensively, hitting a J with my own. Could have ended worse if Kraetyz had realized/remembered that RA and Windmill Crusher work against Robo Headbutt. >> HUGS. WOuld have lost this if it had not been for the Joker that let me blue burst BU >> Many successful throws. Not much more to say about this one. ;-) GGs! Was very fun. Spectator banter was also A+.

flagrantangles wins 4-2 vs @lettucemode Okay, normally I do not mind fighting Onimaru with Quince. Final Authority is less of a thing because Quince just tries to dodge you anyway and Oni's throws just aren't that threatening, generally. However, I may have to revise my opinion after these matches. It felt like lettucemode was psychic with his Guard Crushes. Granted, sometimes I was really transparent, but there were a couple of other times that felt positively SPOOKY. In the first match, I tried to block too much and between Oni's throws and Guard Crushes, I just couldn't keep up. I was also pretty caught off guard with my K-spins! Lettucemode bodied me here, especially at the end. I was just worried about throwing out a fast attack because FA is a thing so I kept dodging. Onimaru kept throwing until I was dead. The second match was pretty similar to the first. Lettucemode was very opaque regarding his throws. Normally I get a good read on it depending on what people throw away when they pump or by what they give me on a Two Truths picks. I was hardpressed to get a read on lettucemode. In the third match I'm able to claw my way to victory by punching out a throw with Consent of the Governed. I felt good, but shaken. Come the fourth match I'm feeling myself a bit more and I perform very well. I believe I punch out a ten with a Patriot Mirror and then keep spin going until he dies. The vortex is real. The fifth match progresses pretty evenly. There are a couple of points where we each get each other down to the same life total. Because lettucemode pumped a throw with a Queen, I was certain he had another one so I dodged. Lo and behold, I was right, he Queened and then I tried to get lethal with Q++ but he jokered it! I topdeck a 7 and all of a sudden I have an idea. I use a 2 Truths and pick up a Queen, 3, and 4 trying to give the impression that I'm starved for dodges and need lethal in hand. I play the 7 and undercut his 8 throw to combo into lethal. I felt pretty proud of that. In the last match, he opens with a range of block and 5 attack. Over the first few turns, he plays 4 of them. I block 1, get hit by one, block another, and then punch out the fourth with Patriot Mirror. From there, I'm basically set. I K-Spin to my heart's content and pretty successfully navigate his responses until I'm all out of options. He's got 11 life and I have a hand of 4, 9, 9, Joker, Joker. I try to dodge, but he dodges too. After that, I topdeck a Queen and play it because I figure he's gonna try to throw me. I'm correct and I close out the set. GGs @lettucemode! I had fun playing with you! Your Onimaru struck real fear into my heart facsimile.

Three Headed Monkey vs migohunter W R4 << I was expecting the Quince! Migo easily dispatched me in this game >> Gieger is good vs Jaina but I'm more confortable with Zane >> I managed to get some good reads on migo in these two games >> I was ahead going into the last combat, but drew the final Ace to sneak MA under his wake up Silent J >> Migo had me on the ropes here, but I risked a half silent MA into his Q to take the set. Pure Zane ass but I'll take it. THM 4 - 1 Migo GGs migohunter. WP but a bit of bad luck with MA. I had a crap tonne of fun! Zane vs Jaina is a very fun MU. Thanks for the games!

RIP the dream, etc., but honestly I'm kind of relieved to have been knocked out. Well played to Bob, I needed someone to convince me that Arg is not, infact, a counterpick for Zane.
