First Mage Wars Tournament on OCTGN

[ringkichard]

Creates a different metagame from meatspace tournaments, which has advantages and disadvantages. Did anyone try Ballista cheese?

[Boocheck]

Schwen stated in his tournament rules, that balista had unique trait right from the start ;)

Will you be posting Bignics spellbook too?

Cool, thanks.

I'm rather late to posting this (been super busy) but we have the videos up now. They turned out pretty good :)

Also, thanks to Arcane Wonders for posting these earlier!

very nice game, congrats for both players. i like the comments too, without them it would be much harder to watch :)

hope to see more of that kind of initiative in the future.

[ben_tyrer]

Intangible0, your coverage of the matches is great!

I hope you commentate on the next event as it makes it a really good, insightful, watch.

I also really liked watching the commentated game.  It was very helpful for me as a newer player who is still learning a lot of the basic strategy of the game.  My only comment is that the audio was occasionally glitchy (watch for a minute or two starting around 10:30 in the finals commentary, for example).  It happened a few times throughout the match.

[sdougla2]

Thank you for doing the commentary on these games and posting them. The audio quality was a little iffy in places, but otherwise well done.

I was surprised by the play styles I saw. There was a distinct lack of fast, efficient pressure in both games. None of the 3 players applied significant pressure quickly, but they didn't have strong late game plans either, which seemed weird to me.
