Hi all, it's time to see the results of the "Finding the Balance" MF/RF tourney. Here we had runes and S&Us both count towards a single overall score. This is a new format, and it was interesting to see how this played out.
Running thread can be found here.
Let's get to the results straight away:
Category 1 (Baal):
Category 2 (everything else):
I'm liking those results, 5 Chams to go with the Zod, and a couple of nice S&Us as well.
It was to be expected that runes would make up the bigger chunk of the top scores, and that was indeed the case. But other results such as Babyhell's show that a focus on S&Us is definitely competitive without relying all that much on runes. Getting a 27+ pointer means you're in the race for sure. A "runes only" approach may have slightly better odds, but e.g. in case of maxicek's #5 result it wasn't quite enough to beat sets and their S&U support. Interesting stuff in any case.
Thanks all for participating, this was fun! I think everyone liked the format, so let's do this again soon. There was some debate about the Baal and with 2/3 players not submitting a score there we can probably just go for one category next tiem.
Now for the fun part – show us those haul pics, as well as information on your chars and runs if you feel like it.
