    Upsetting I didn't make it. I could have sworn I signed up well in advance. I'm like Rank 3 diamond, now, too. I was looking forward to some real competition.

    I guess I can be a captain.

    I know less than half of you half as well as I should like, though, and I estimate less than half of you as being at half the skill level you deserve.

    gg, bilbo. =D

    I would love to be a captain(even though I suck), but I know I won't have time for captaining.

    Yeah, somehow I reached high gold from my low bronze... Just posting to change my approximate skill level, though I'm pretty sure I'm still trash. I've already edited the spreadsheet.

    I can drop out and you can take my spot if it comes down to it, I am probably going on a two week vacation this month and I will miss out on some of the games and training.

    Spreadsheet is updated with this information. What's the lowdown on tournament/draft; how are we doing a 12 person tournament and what about the idea of doing a non-snake draft, given the skill inequality among the captains?

    Updated my info since the promotion.... though I'm not sure how long that'll last.

    I had a brilliant game TvZ the other day where things fell apart and it was definitely an "aha!" moment. He did a FE, I had a great Helion harass... and then I realized I was missing a next step. If I had marched in with infantry and tanks to clean up, it would've been over. Lost the match, learned a lesson about keeping pressure up.

    So yeah... the game says I'm Platinum... but I'd call myself close to the cusp of Gold.

    I will throw you on the land and hurl you on the open field. I will let all the birds of the air settle on you and all the beasts of the earth gorge themselves on you. I will spread your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your remains. I will drench the land with your flowing blood all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh. - Ezekiel 32: 4-6

    Captains Tournament Bracket Time!
    Brackets.png
    There are some questions as to whether or not McSnuggles will actually have the time to captain for this tournament, if he has to drop out someone has offered to take his spot and that person will take his spot in the tournament

    Standard double elimination tournament, all match ups will be Bo3 starting on Lost Temple with loser picking next map

    Wow, my opponent is a Platinum Terran. If I lose, then I'll be facing a Platinum Protoss in the losers bracket (unless GnomeTank pulls the major upset). Whelp, looks like I'm in the running for the number one overall pick. Who should I draft? :D

    I think Ryougi undersells herself as a platinum protoss; she's probably at least mid diamond. So if somebody pulls off the upset there, you've got a shot at playing a diamond protoss instead!

    I wouldn't worry about me pulling an upset, it's not happening, hehe.

    That said, how do you know I won't end up with the first pick? :P It's likely I'm gonna lose out as well.

    Actually, I bet the Platinum players will throw their matches to get the better picks. LOL, yeah right.

    The tournament is (roughly) seeded so that the worse players get higher draft picks
    Do we have a general idea of when games will be taking place? Times/Days and such.

    Players will have all week to play their games, we're not doing games on certain days. I wouldn't do that to you guys 8-)

    Heh, looking at the people playing I'll probably get a middle pick. I can probably take Dover and have an outside shot to beat the better players if I'm really on my A-game and they break both their arms :P. Seriously though this should be fun and I have a feeling getting a middle pick will be way better for my team than me actually winning the tournament.

    Dover, just tell me a time and I can probably play. The rest of my week is pretty open.

    I can play tomorrow after 4:30pm (eastern). The earlier the better, as the girlfriend is dying to finish the second half of season 4 of Battlestar Galactica. :D
