Total war: Rome 2 Elimination Tournament [Completed: Reptilicus wins]

[sobchack]

Well well well... long winning streak on Wiertz, until he saw and is beated by winner. Wiertz, you are lucky, because you are not eliminated. Wash your hand and face from dirt and blood one more time, because you will go to SHAMEFUL BRONZE MATCH!

Sobchack, gods favoring you and citizens are singing songs about you! You are first person, who fight in GRAND FINAL!

lol, they must be because im getting through each battle by the skin of my teeth.

I knew I was playing against the future winner! well done to the both of you but a little bit more to Sobchack!

[Reptilicus]

Congrats to Sobchack,hopefully he`ll avert Donnie`s heart attack with this victory! Noif,me and Kubee had horrible,atrocious lag for some weird reason. Would it not be overstretching to ask to have our game postponed till tomorrow mid day or something ? The connection is horrible for this evening,it might stem from 1 side. Due to the lag,a lot of units become unresponsive to multiple commands.

Try get it done soon asap, because we are delayed quite alot this tournament now. (I don't like waiting.)

[EpicFrench]

Well Noif, you need to agree about the last match, because my Father is Zeus, and he would be really angry if the match between Reptilicus and GoTWKubee wouldn't happen or get default win, so if you don't want to get his furor on you, you should allow them to play on tomorrow.

But that's only if you love life anyway !

[Reptilicus]

There`s no need for Zeus,we`ll do it tomorrow Noif you`re the best!

[GoTW Kubee]

When are you going to be around Reptilicus? I'll leave my steam open all day, so message me when you can play.

[Reptilicus]

GG to Kubee,it was a fun battle,good luck in your bronze match! And as to the lag,it equally affects both of us,so no one was at a disadvantage- i wouldn`t call this that bad lag,i`ve seen and played with worse lag.

I wasn't trying to make excuses at all, but I would argue that skirmish builds fare worse during lag and that the lag was horrendous. Maybe I'm just used to RTW though where there was hardly ever any lag.

And GL in the final

Don't worry, here we give award for top 3 players, so you still have chance to win. (50/50)

Well that's bad luck Kubee, but you are right that skirmish armies aren't very playable in laggy games, this is a common rule in all TW games.
A rematch with same armies would be fair enough imho and easy to be reviews as we have the current army setups but well that are just my 2 cents.

I will watch and enjoy the replay. Go(o)d luck for the battle for 3rd

Fortuna fortis adjuvat! GL / HF mate!

Good luck also to the finalist! Fingers crossed.

PS: I renew my offer to stream your games via twitch if you like.

Gotw Kubee: "Our hero has arrived back from battlefield, but he didn't came back as winner. Shock news came to senate and some senates were disappointed, who were bet Kubee for winner. Kubee, senate was mercy for you and they wanted tell for me that you will go to "Shameful" bronze match and fight against Wiertz in dead match."

Caledonian: "People were confused, because they are already wear on kubee's fan shirts. Now they shamed their decided and burned their shirts. People are calling your name around Italy and are now ready to following you to Rome for Grand battle, where you will face second battlefield executor, Sobchack."

Finally! Semi-finals are now over and we have deadly pairs now:

In mighty GRAND FINAL (What is already sold-out), we will see 2 bravest generals, who are passed hard battles: Sobchack vs The Caledonian!!!

In "SHAMEFUL" bronze match (Generals, who are sold their souls for gods): GoTW Kubee vs Wiertz.

Final tournament day will be on Wednesday and tomorrow, Tuesday I will give last map release for both map (this time bronze and grand final have different map) and also I will tell about rewards and release our mystery prize, what winner will get!

[MikeF]

Is the final going to best of 1 or 3 battles?

[Noif de Bodemloze]

Is the final going to best of 1 or 3 battles?

Same like before, Best of 1.

[Noif de Bodemloze]

All right gentlemen!

I will come with last information about final stage! First, I want to thanks for all contenders, who are been part of tournament. So far this tournament is been very successful and it is nothing without you guys to make it awesome!

Now... Lets go to back to business:

Tomorrow, Wednesday we will start final matches, where we have Grand Final and we will see The Caledonian vs Sobchack -battle! In "Shameful" bronze match, we see GoTW Kubee and Wiertz!

First thing: We gaming staff and our olympic host Poach will reward top3 players with +reps and also they will get Gold, Silver and Bronze medals as their achievement. Bronze game must be toughest, because player in 4th position will get nothing and 3rd get some reps and bronze medal. So fight well!

Second thing: Everybody want to know about maps. Hell yeah!

Lets start for bad news for "Shameful" bronze match: Because you two are semi-final losers, our senate decided put you two in very hottest and dry place: GoTW Kubee and Wiertz will settle who will win bronze in PYRAMID (North-south) map. Winner will be rewarded and get out from desert and loser general will stay on desert to researching pyramids.

and GRAND FINAL will get good news, because they are big heroes the caledonian and sobchack and we don't want send them to desert with bronze players so they have luxury time in Greek. These two champions have final match in Statue of ZEUS at olympic (West-East) map. (Because this is part of olympic of course). So prepare to final battle well. Today you can practice in this map if you like before Wednesday!

Both bronze and grand final are same like previous match: Best of 1, so don't screw up! and don't forget current rules!

Now for last news: There is a mystery prize for tournament winner and now.... I will release it:

The tournament winner will win Intel i7 CPU 4770k and this prize is sponsored by our dear CA member: CraigTW (not by Noif)



So...
1st: Reps + gold medal + Intel i7 CPU 4770k
2nd: reps + silver medal
3rd: reps + bronze medal

Alright here are final news by me: Now We are waiting to Wednesday to see who will The hero of tournament!

[alQamar]

A mighty price for the 1st. Thank you Craig for your generousness! It would be better to have a 4790K to gain the designated advantages this CPU has. So if you have to buy this CPU Craig yet, please think about gifting the latest model named "Devils Canyon" instead of this "Haswell".

If the tournament winner likes to get assistance how to pair this CPU and overclocking this fine CPU safely I am glad to help in the HW advice thread or via PM.
I have a lot experience in this regard and sucessfully helped dozends of TWC members even remotely or via phone.
