Outwitters World Cup 2014 Standings [LIVE]

[Mag!cGuy]

There's one game where I don't think you can come back, but on the other two, you're far from a losing position!

Very interesting to read all these infos!

With Hembergler24 claiming the final place in the Round of 16 the competition has now officially moved one step closer to the grand final and the 8 places in the quarter finals are now up for grabs (does that sound like Jeff Probst?) Stand by for another update of the Top 16 profiles shortly.

Also (drum roll.....) congrats to chezedude will has secured a one of the 2 places the Grand Final of the Plate competition and is likely anxiously checking the forum each day to see who the opponent will be....Mari BK or Thcdoremi......

Thanks to Sharugames, Hembergler24 and L3R4T for sending through their profiles. I've updated the "2014 Outwitters World Cup – Final 16" document.

Thanks again to all players for participating in this, and good luck for the games ahead....

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Grand Finalists of the Plate competition have now been determined!

It’s an all American final USA vs USA [applause and whooping!]

In the blue trunks we have seed 42 chezedude coming of a 3-0 / 3-0 record in the lead up games.

In the red corner is seed 46 thcdoremi with a similar 3-0 and 2*-0 record.

Both players at the top of their games and with similar seeding you can bet the the 5 Grand finals games will be close. chezedude and thcdoremi you are clear to start your first 4 games now (take a day or so if you need it!). The 5th game will be started once thcdoremi has completed the final game in the semi final.

Just to recap the rules for the final.
1. You cannot use any race more than 2 times across the 5 games

2. The first 4 games will be on Glitch and Sweet Tooth (each as P1/P2). Although not part of the official rules I would suggest the following protocol to pick teams:
Player A starts game 1
Player B accepts game 1 and makes 1st move
Player B starts game 2 on the same map
Player A accepts game 2 makes 1st move
Player B starts game 3
Player A accepts game 3 and makes 1st move
Player A starts game 4 on the same map
Player B accepts game 4 makes 1st move
(although if you both prefer you can use some other method)

3. Tie breaker will be on TG (P1/P2 TBA).

In addition - once all 4 games have started and both players have made a move each can one of you please post all 4 match-ups back to the forum so the rest of the community can get an idea of what the the games are (e.g. Vege vs Scally on Glitch).

Winner receives the $50 prize and the Title.

Good luck to you both!

I'd also like to add this is now officially the highest stakes match Outwitters has ever seen so far with a respectable $50 prize to the winner! Best of luck to both!

[Sharugames]

Can we get a live game feat so we can watch the action

Good Luck to both finalist

Congratulations to Pharamfan of Germany (and fellow GG clan member!) the first player into the Semi Finals of the world cup.

With games still progressing on the other side of the draw, Pharamfan will have a few days to think of what strategy he is going to use against his opponents on the all-2-gen maps in the Semi final pool (War Garden and Skull Duggery).

Stay tuned...

Yes it sure is, games have definitely slowed down a lot though as they get tougher!

I know how you feel... it sucks actually having to work again. I was so unproductive this past month at work it was awesome.

Time for TI4!
