[Yomi Tournament] IYL 5

That’s a hype group. A lot of people who haven’t been in playoffs before.

I wish all finalists good luck but I’m putting my support behind the People’s Champ, @mysticjuicer!

Wow if I win I face juicy again.

Interesting.

Well there is a pretty good reason for that: a lot of the people who normally make the playoffs don’t play any more.

Did we lose them to the forum move? Or lack of meaningful competition?

Forum move.

Ah, that’s a shame… I wonder if there’s any chance of getting them back…

Thelo 4 - 1 Niijima-san
in the playoffs, round 1 (best 4 of 7)

:troq::psfist::pschip::bbb:
:troq::pschip::psfist::vendetta: (27 dmg for exact throw lethal, oops I can’t count)
:troq::psfist::pschip::vendetta:
:troq::psfist::pschip::vendetta: (Furiously taking so many notes on the side here!)
:troq::psfist::pschip::vendetta: (“I’m gonna bleed all of your dodges forever”)

Good games!

Unlikely at this point, I think. Maybe deluks will pop in sometime in the future, but I wouldn’t count on it.

Just gotta grow the scene again. IYL coming back is absolutely a step in the right direction. :slight_smile:

Honestly I don’t think notes were required I don’t think there was a moment that whole set I felt like I could win it. If you go by MJs YouTube channel I am the biggest jobber of all time.

All part of my efforts to monetize my YouTube channel. Pay me, or I continue recording your games. :wink:

That would be a novel idea: a Patreon where the reward is for someone to stop making things. Not saying it’s a good idea, mind…

sharpobject 4-2 @Ivan

Ivan random selected Lum according to the game’s UI. Gloria has a pretty weak matchup against random select, but I have to stick with my main ok!! Unless someone picks Midori.

Good games!

Fusxfaranto 4-1 Southpaw Hare

:gwen: :psfist: :pschip: :gloria: Threw a lot and never got punished for it, which ended this game pretty quickly.
:gwen: :psfist: :pschip: :vendetta: Aside from a few Ks, SPH had pretty awful draws this whole game.
:gwen: :psfist: :pschip: :gwen:
:gwen: :pschip: :psfist: :rook: An exceptionally close game, both of us had single digit health for several turns.
:bbb: :psfist: :pschip: :rook:

GGs SPH. I was pretty scared going into this match, but it looks like my preparation paid off.
