Previous Thread link to how we got here:

Well, with 4 PODs finished and the rest only days away, we are ready to transition into the most fun part of the tournament, the elimination rounds! A ladder, with wrings only going in one direction - to glory and the World Cup! Let's look at the first round of elimination matchups, and see where folks have to go...

POD #1 Winner MattShadowlord vs POD #8 Runnerup PT106

POD #2 Winner Ginkapo vs POD #7 Runnerup Zanos

_____________________________________________________________________________

POD #3 Winner Green Knight vs POD #6 Runnerup Ardaedhel

POD #4 Winner Skycake vs POD #5 Runnerup Mdh

_____________________________________________________________________________

POD# 5 Winner JJs Juggernaut vs POD #4 Runnerup Maturin

POD #6 Winner Caribbean Ninja vs POD #3 Runnerup Miedomeda

____________________________________________________________________________

POD #7 Winner Truthiness vs POD #2 Runnerup Aresius

POD #8 Winner Roquax vs POD #1 Runnerup JRockNZ

Rules for this round are simple - win or go home. Tournament points are nice, but not important anymore. Officially this round starts 12:00 GMT on Feb 1st, but if you have your matchups prior to that time you may begin scheduling your matches. Matches must be played after Friday 27th @ 12:00 GMT, but then it's free reign. Approximately 1 week will be available each week to get your match scheduled and played - some leeway is available because flipping a coin for a winner is unacceptable. I don't want to do this.

Did someone say "Matchup of the Week?" That's right, if you schedule your game well enough ahead of things, and it looks like a fun matchup, it can be featured as a Matchup of the Week and live streamed with commentary to the community at large! Commentate from Biggs, and special guests! Want a matchup to be the matchup of the week? Post about it here - hype it up! It could be yours, your buddies, or just a cool matchup you really want to see commented upon! Make casual bets with other players on who will win! Try to beat "Biggs' Pre-Match Guarentee".

Who is going to be the new Clontroper5? Stay tuned to find out!

Ah crap, if I beat Zanos I get one of my arch nemesis'. Well this sucks.

Hurry up pod 2. Vader's getting impatient.

They have (and need) until the Wednesday deadline. Do not worry. You will get your matchup.
