Re: 9th Official Tournament: Post-Competition, Closing, and Suggestions
D7 Top 8
1st: DossarLX ODI
2nd: smartdude1212
3rd: TC_Halogen
4th: shadow 1800
5th: GammaBlaster
6th: yo man im awesome
7th: Dynam0
8th: Zyphoror
smartdude1212: I have to say, smartdude1212 surprised me -- I knew he was an excellent player, but he wrecked the first 7 rounds fast and it was scary. Definitely a well deserved spot.
TC_Halogen: I remember at the start of the final round he had a goal of getting below 20g on Heterochromia Iridis. He managed to get 9-0-0-1 and later 8-0-0-0 which was much more than what he originally aimed for. Congratulations on 3rd place and for hosting another successful official tournament!
shadow 1800: At the start I viewed this guy as one of the biggest threats because of how fast he is (his SM scores are insane). However he had a habit of mindblocking which unfortunately led to him being eliminated from such tight cutoffs. Still, shadow is an amazing player and I can see him getting Top 3 in the next official if the files weren't so close to AAA cutoffs each round.
GammaBlaster: Like shadow 1800, this guy is very fast and even landed 2-0-0-0 on Heterochromia Iridis. However he was in a tough situation having only 24 hours from blackflagging Epidermis. GammaBlaster has definitely come a long way.
yo man im awesome: Another player who I knew was good but holy cow I did NOT expect him to get 6th place in D7 especially after his video where he said something along the lines of "this is why I'm not making it past round 6".
Dynam0: I was expecting Dynam0 to get Top 5 but Epidermis v2 was a very rough round. The cutoff was insane and the file as a whole was just very awkward.
Zyphoror: Congratulations on making it to Top 8, Japan represent!

Re: 9th Official Tournament: Post-Competition, Closing, and Suggestions
I'm really surprised that I survived Epidermis -- I thought that file was going to be the end of me for sure. It was a really motivation-driven situation, because I knew that if I survived round 6, I would make it to the final round easily thanks to a file that is -way- up my alley. Turns out it was a bit easier than expected, because everyone nailed it, haha.

Whaddafuck I'm at B27 but fuck you you fuck.
I had a friend who was going to come visit me here but then had to work. I have another friend who landed from Munich five minutes after my Paris flight landed, but she isn't responding to any of my messages so I figure she went to her aunt's house because her flight is delayed until 1 am (rip). The fact that you're flying out of Buffalo is fucking stupid and you should be ashamed. (sun)

D7 participants now have all event tokens, support tokens, and vRofl (as they did in the previous official).
D1 through D6 has received Fractured Sunshine and vRofl according to their placements. I have a number of private messages that I am going through to hand out tokens at player request, but I am still actively attending to them. Your continued patience is greatly appreciated
EDIT: Those of you that sent out private messages to me have received your tokens. Thanks for being prompt, guys! Gonna work on getting the credit prizes out to the top 5 in each division now.
There's always some issue you can find with the exact terminology of a game. In fact, let me here make a case that the current system has racist undertones:
Blackflags are worse than whiteflags and AAA's are indicated as yellow in R^3, suggesting that a perfect score is Asian.
Re: 9th Official Tournament: Post-Competition, Closing, and Suggestions
Sponcon every round next official. Not just like 2 or 3 of them. Gives eliminated participants something to do while others are still smashing keys for shiny tokens and other prizes.
