#Finals🏆

Welcome to the finals!
The format is still double elimination. What that means is if Always KYP wins the first set of games, another set of games will be played to crown the winning team. If Lord of the Pings wins the first set, there is no second set of games - they win.
Btw please try to schedule the first match this week so that if another match is required this can be wrapped up before the holidays
Still working on putting together our full availability, but any chance you guys like Friday again this week? We can all do 13-15 utc start times this Friday
Saturday 19-22 utc is the other potential window we have so far, waiting on riedl to confirm/deny
@sinful garden @rapid bay @subtle bluff bump ^^
We're still gathering our availabilities, but it looks like Friday 1600 UTC and Saturday 2200 UTC are the best options for now... still waiting for confirmation from Mr.Babs
@rough sleet Ok, talked with Mr.Babs... Saturday 2200 UTC would be the official time on our side. Any news from Riedl?
Haven’t heard back yet, will keep you posted. Is there any flexibility to go earlier if needed? 22 utc is 11pm for riedl, so I wouldn’t be shocked if that’s too late (independent of if he’s available or not)
No unfortunately I finish with 30 minutes before 22 UTC
Rip fair enough, sounds like we’re all in on riedl being available for 22 utc saturday if we’re going to play it this week
I'll still be at work when playing my game 😅... Hopefully Riedl can play
Yeahhh the euro / west coast NA (I think?) combo is so tough to schedule
Were east but we still usually play evenings
i cant make 22 UTC on Saturday or on any other day, but i can make Friday 16 UTC
if that still works for you
@sinful garden @rapid bay @subtle bluff
might have to do this next week. Should be easier for me to have time in the afternoon/morning since i'll be done with almost all my classes friday
Is before work/class an option for the NA crew? Like 11-12 utc start time if riedl/jaco don’t have stuff mid-day
Next week I’ll have work Mon-Thurs and all but Thursday will be tough for me to do anything 9-5 EST
Start times we could do this upcoming week:
Thurs: 11:15-12 UTC
Fri: 11-14 UTC
Sat: 17-19 UTC
Sun: 17-19 UTC
It would be much appreciated if we could lock in something soon, @sinful garden @rapid bay @subtle bluff . My week is filling up quite fast 😉
On it... still waiting on Synn for his schedule... we'll get back to you soon
One of the matches needs to be scheduled this week. The entirety of last week was wasted gathering availability
@sinful garden @rapid bay @subtle bluff @honest vapor @rough sleet @woven tapir
^^^^^^^^
11 UTC Friday... how does that sound for you guys? It's quite early for us (6 am), but let's roll with this!
sounds good to me!
@honest vapor @woven tapir we good to lock this in?

Good for me! And the flexibility is much appreciated

Settings are added to the sheet. Is anyone going to be streaming this?
one of us is likely going to be streaming for the others in VC
Do you mind doing it somewhere where people can watch?
Fitz can be available to monitor the VC and make sure nobody speaks over you
Hahahahaha the edit 😂😂😂
Yeah we’ll just be in a 2v2 voice channel in this server
Can you do it in the tournament VC? That way anybody can watch
2v2 VCs have some restrictions
I hope y'all have permissions to talk in tourney VC. Best to join once shortly and try if you can unmute yourself. I know there've been issues in the past
I’ll check tonight
Looks like I can unmute in tourney vc 👍
For all finalists: don't forget to update your RISK client before you start the game.

Final Score:
Lord of the pings: 4
Always KYP: 1
do you guys remember what the stack was before the cap run?
41 or 47 i think
we're trying to math out if it was better to break the 2nd bonus or cap stack
we were wondering the same thing
yeah i think breaking was the right play
ggs guys great series
5 attacking troops vs. 2 cap troops
we're thinking the attacking troops are more valuable with small caps, cap troops more valuable if it was bigger?
i dont know, i dont follow the science of cap rolls lol
i think know one knows exactly
not even smg
but i would have done the same anyways. it would have come down to Horace dice in the end either way
i think the break was right?
which is why he is on the team
