Just finished watching round 1 of the finals posted by the great Arcane Duel folks. I have to publicly apologize to Gdieckhaus.
When he first rolled the hammer against the tower, I saw tons of crits and just assumed the tower was down. Then after he gathered up the dice, I only saw one 2 crit, and if the rest were 1 crits, then the tower lives. The non crit dice were absorbed by the tower armor. I have watched and rewatched the section of the video for the hammer roll using a magnifying glass. And there is a spot at 6:26, where there are clearly two 2 crit dice, with three other crit dice left to count, which is enough to drop the tower since it has 7 points. So, Haus got screwed out of playing the remainder of the game. I still push him through the wall on the next turn with first qc, but still, that was 12 dice of damage that he did not have to take. And, who knows how the game would have gone from that point forward with his angels coming online. While I would have had a strong advantage with so much damage on him, it certainly would have been a challenge. I would have kept the pressure up, but it is still unfair that it went the way it did. We should have stopped the match, paused the clock, and reviewed the tape.
Sorry man. It was a spot of confusion that should have been cleared up right then. Especially since there was a video.
