I guess Dr. Butler didn't get back to me? Requesting an extension for us I guess. You could/should probably just keep running matches without waiting for full groups to finish.

The_Armchair_General has dropped out, giving szycag a free win. I am also assuming Sprites7 has dropped out, which means aeong will probably receive a free win. There are a lot of automatic wins going on here. Anyway, let's get started on the intermediate matches. August 1 will be the cutoff date for all of the following, unless more time is requested.

Winning matches:

Zil vs. BrianC
NeoStrayCat vs. SquireGrooktook
stardustreverie vs. Kino
Keade vs. DJ Incompetent

Elimination matches:

Fizzxwizz vs. (trap15 vs. Doctor Butler <-- please do this quickly)
aeong vs. Sprites7 (aeong will win automatically when everyone else is finished)
zaarock vs. cham0mile (zaarock will also win automatically when everyone else is finished)

Go ahead and DQ me.

Trap was available for the weekend, and I wasn't so it only seems fair that he'd get to advance.

GG, you guys!

[Also, send me your replay links when it's through, and I'll make a video of the full tournament]

I had a busy Sunday and that's the day Armchair General wanted to play. Sorry man. At the very least I've really been enjoying the game.

I have been defeated by Kino, meaning I will face szycag in the next round. Good job to Kino.

Alright, we can get our match knocked out early. I'll be idling on fightcade very often.

edit: szycag lost, which puts me two rounds ahead of schedule and eliminates szycag.

Our time zone differences are irreconcilable. I will yield and forfeit my winners and losers fights. Wah-waaaah..

Alrighty. Kino will face Keade in the next round. I'm probably going to have to cancel this tourney if a majority of the matches are not taking place. There are two days left for the current round.

That, or we can go straight immediately to finals or w/e. Either way, I took another unprecidented victory against Squire! XD

Okay, Zil will face NeoStrayCat next. I think Fizzxwizz and trap15 will be having their match tomorrow, and then we can move this along. :)

I am supposed to play with Kino ? DJ Incompetent and I haven't been able to get a time slot yet (and DJI told me would forfeit if we couldn't), but we might be able to work out it. Too late ?

PS. I have (hopefully) sorted out my issues with mail notifications on PM. The mail adress set on my account was an old adress I didn't use anymore :oops:

Okeydokey, since I'm still considering Sprites7 and cham0mile to be no-shows, they are both eliminated. Due to DJ Incompetent dropping out, zaarock will receive a free survival this round. Also note that I've already done my match so I'm still in. My next opponent is zaarock, but we have plenty of time.

Here are the new matches. Please try to play them by August 7. Good luck~!

Winning matches:

Zil vs. NeoStrayCat
Kino vs. Keade

Elimination matches:

SquireGrooktook vs. Fizzxwizz
BrianC vs. aeong

Well, Zil and I had our match, but connections didn't really work out for the both of us. Although we did try our best, Zil has said I would declare victory by default if the lag was unbearable.

I just hope the next match isn't like this. >.>

Okay, since it seems like Zil has thrown has the match(?), here are the new matches. I don't think time limits will be necessary at this point since we are nearing the end, but please try not to take forever.

winners match:

NeoStrayCat vs. Keade

elimination matches:

SquireGrooktook vs. BrianC (winner will face Kino)
zaarock vs. stardustreverie (winner will face Zil)

Still waiting for my match with zaarock. I assumed everyone had given up since no one was responding.
