I learned a lot from playing you and am happy you are able to play in the final

@trulpen I think it would be best if we just finish the game normally. We both took extended breaks for different reasons but if we can finish the game normally and we are both willing and able we should do it. That is the whole point of being here right? To play? Silly titles are even less meaningful if not gained by beating your opponents in the game itself, right? I understand your wanting to play in the final and your health condition and I have a lot of empathy. However you are a fantastic player and have many many victories to prove it and no one is going to think and less of you because you don’t play in this particular final so let’s just keep playing this game and be done with it. Please?

looking for a BM game… Tier E preferably. Hopefully I can qualify for the playoffs this year!

@andrewaagamer Sorry brother I forgot. Congratulations again on the championship !! 🍾🍾🍾

I don’t really appreciate being used as a counter example here. I decided to take a break this year, but if you look at my results from last year you would see that I clearly belong in the M tier or you can ask any of my opponents. AAGamer absolutely deserves every one of those points.

As to the entire argument I have no issue with an elo rating system in general, as I am a lifelong avid chess player (Master there too fwiw) and it is generally pretty accurate. I would say that due to the length of time it takes to finish one of these games, and the resulting low sample size the ELO rating would be far less accurate because it does rely on a larger number of games to be accurate. In other words AA players just have too few games elo rating to be accurate.

@jkeller thats only thing I don’t like about this game, hours of hard work can just evaporate in one stupid blunder or bad dicing
