Crown(32) Advanced Tournament - [vs. Kyle] [Tier 2 heroes] [200+ rated]

[Bluejet24]

In GDC's "Ideas for Organized Play Events" thread, I suggested that it would awesome if, in addition to a Shadow Crystal prize, the winner of a tourney would have the honor and privilege to play a friendly best of three match against Mr. Kyle Poole (Creator of Shadow Era)...and this is what Kyle had to say:

I'd be up for that

And he wasn't joking either! It's been confirmed. To show his appreciation to the SE community, Kyle has graciously agreed to play the winner of this tournament! Thanks Kyle!

Qualifications are the same as previous Crown Advanced Tournaments. This tournament requires that you are reasonably flexible to play at various times of the day. If you have a busy schedule or are not flexible to play at various times of the day, please do not not apply.

PAIRINGS AND SEEDING:

Pairings and seeding will be based on rating at time of signups. Brackets will follow a "traditional" setup. If there is a tie in ratings, the tie-breaker will be decided by the player with higher amount of forum posts.

For example:

Bicin and Raph are both rated at 207.

Bicin has 799 forum posts. Raph has 1700.

Therefore, Raph will be given the higher seed over Bicin.

I'm waiting and hope to enter the tournament!

[Hatts]

Consider this my early registration.

[iClipse]

I thought you wanted to lay low for a while because of your wife?

[danae]

You sure people actually want to play against Kyle? With all the work he's been doing in developing the game and running the company he's probably just a noob at playing Shadow Era. . Or he knows all the hacks and will probably cause the games to freeze when he's losing. . Or he will cause the other player to constantly miss his turns by offering his opponent the chance to ask him any question but only in-game (hey, that's happened to me once; damn chatty opponent told me he could have won and I was arguing with his logic when I noticed the timer was in the red.).

Peace Kyle. Hehe.
