WCQ 2012 - Results Discussion Thread

Ohh lol. Hell no, I'd love to take him down. Sorry, the way I worded that was rather poor.



He beat me to put me in losers(The smasher talk coming out because of double Elim.)

And then just the location and tournament lol

Tournament structure was really bad for Vanguard. It's expected that crap like this would happen.

>United States has best chance to win
>Is Canadian
lolwut?

The guy that won Asia-Oceania is the guy that took a crit for the game, but double healed for the win.

I'm surprised the Europe didn't get as many spots though. Europe has always had a strong gaming culture and in most games, their players/teams are better than their American counterparts. Americans just get more hype.

Distribution isn't as wide-spread in Europe, Bushiroad probably meant to take this as a lack of a player base compared to America.

Bushiroad hasn't focused enough on Europe to get many players interested. It's true that for instance, Magic players and Yugioh players are MUCH better in Europe than USA. Usually shaming the US in extreme levels. Especially Germany. But here, it seems like there aren't many players. Especially if I just go off of my blog's visitor data.

World Championship this weekend.

You can watch it live on NND ~ http://bushiroad.fm/post/en/1870/Today+s+Cards+-+7th+December+2012.html

What time is the event in JP time? (Realized he was asking someone with a 6 hour time difference.)

As of this post, it starts in 21 Hours.

If you want to watch, make sure you signed up to Nico Nico beforehand to save time.

3 hours! We're all gonna watch together

I got some popcorn :v

Fuck Q_Q

I want some popcorn

Give me your address so I can ship you some.
You have to pay shipping, though.

I am having burritos and chocolate :V

I love these Daigo ads.

All the comments... so far, they're the fun part...

Most of us turned off comments when a huge crossride shitposting war broke out between who-knows-what groups. And apparently later there was a TON of vmundi and Alice hate for no reason. Also Brandon admitted to being there, so likely either him or his goons.

yeah, it just turned ridiculous, and supposedly he admitted to it, no matter what our thoughts in the meta is, the community should just promote respect between its members...

The sad part is we all wanted to cheer for Brandon Smith but he's been such a huge douchebag to everyone here unapologetic, that there's no reason to.

Even the people he didn't directly shittalk (namely VMundi) don't like him.

Well, you let a simple man become "king" and it'll go to his head.

Wasn't able to watch or see comments, but it looks like I didn't miss much.

You sure as hell didn't. Brandon Smith just won it. And it was just Golds all the way. I saw the final match. Pellinore player gave Brandon a free -3 (-1 from lop ear calling a Pellinore, -1 from putting a 4k booster behind vanguard which did exactly nothing, -1 from a one to pass guard while duke was at 4 damage). They each sacked equally even if it seemed Pellinore did more. 4 heals vs 1 heal/3 crit. Pellinore and Duke respectively. If Smith's opponent wasn't completely braindead he actually would've won and by a relative lack of sack :V

omg he fucking won!? With Gold Pals!? I would've thought that world championship play would've at least been better than this shit! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!? RAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!

Sorry, i had to let my feelings out on this one. But one thing we know for sure is that next year things will be different! I am GOING to run a deck no one else would AND fucking win for all of us! Im sick and tired of America hyping EVERYTHING that's random or inconsistent!! It makes us look like fucking retards!!!!

^ lol.

"Next year is going to be different"

Yep, instead of all Gold Paladin, it's all DOTE.

Speaking of DOTE, goddamn did the DOTE players misplay a lot.

This
and THIS. 3D and I have a hypothesis of why no one in JP is afraid of Crossrides. Because none of them KNOW HOW.
>End player has End and Overlord in hand
>Rides End Turn 3 and calls Overlord
WELP GO FUCK YOURSELF RETARD. Your opponent couldn't make 18k columns and you didn't even make 17k (vs MLB) with that play so you're fucking braindead.

Seriously guys. Why do people make the most obvious mistakes in tournament play? Every video I've seen has just been egregious error after another.

And Smith doesn't get off Scott-free either. Know how I know Smith will use Duke? He has 4 damage and 2 unflipped damage. Jesus fuck man.
