Have the pairing beeing posted ?

Because i didnt receive any pairing, i ve got the mail from Robert about 3 tournaments rules, that's all .

Yes I posted the pairings here and I also sent everyone an email. What is your email address? Maybe I typed it in wrong.

i answered to your email

Khudzin if you are reading this , plz respond to my email or contact me there (or in skype argyles7 is my nick ).

if someone knows the french guy alert him to respond . ty in advance .

I am assuming the Round 5 pairings have not been announced as of yet?

Just curious.

Not as of yet. I've been really busy at work, and just haven't gotten the results from round 4 entered yet. We are getting ready for an enterprise wide roll out of the first piece of equipment that I certified and field tested, so pretty big for me! I will be finishing the results entry and pairings tonight after work. Sorry for delay, but since this is the last round you guys will have a full seven days to finish your games.

What company do you work for? What equipment is it? Hmm... this is off topic, isn't it?

haha slightly off topic. Anyway, State Farm. A new piece of office equipment.

Any chance you could give us a break down of the bracket wins/losses & give us the house/agendas?

Benton playing Martell (I think he was running Maesters but maybe summer) GG lost to Alan playing GJ Treaty to the South

Rachel playing Martell Summer GG won against Maekar playing Targ (I think it was Maester Burn, but not certain)

Somi playing Martell GG (I think not sure about this) lost to Darknoj playing Martell Maester Rush

Nitro Pirate also playing Martell GG I think lost to Rick B playing Martell Maester GG.

Alan lost to Rachel

Darknoj lost to Rick

Darknoj lost to Alan in the third place game.

Next sunday will be game 3 of the finals match. Both players won a game apiece last night.

I tried to go back and watch them but those videos are serious chooped up. 30 seconds are so for each one. Anyway to combine those into one video?

The ones from last night's stream? Yeah unfortunately not. Kyle's connection couldn't handle streaming so it kept cutting in and out. I'll just delete those videos then.

Okay, that sucks.

So that's NA - EU 3-1, and an all-NA final, huh? Dammit. We suck.

Honestly I think it says more than 7 out of the 8 final decks were running Ghaston Grey... Also was suprised to see no Stark from the EU side.

I think the problem was that the EU top 4 was running Martell GG. The NA meta has had far more time to test the deck and learn to play against it. I think the EU meta is still getting used to it. I could be wrong though.

Well from the decks I saw at the EU meta while playing, most of them wouldn't have had problems against specially ghaston grey, there was very heavy location hate going on in most decks I played (especially the stark with their added blank to the destruction). One other key thing in the two of the EU top decks (both of which were my losses) were rush decks capable of wins in turn 2 of what I unfortunaly witnessed from my side. Heck I would have been happy if there would have been ghaston grey instead of fast rush as I was running choke/cancel. :D

Benton was Martell Maester's path, but using Summer for some combos. He did have GG though.

I heard Maekar was playing Targ War Crest? I'm not 100% on that one.

Somi wasn't using GG, more of a Maester rush with conclaves.

Nitro Pirate was using Martell Brotherhood.

I think I was the only Euro in the top 8 using Ghaston Grey, which was their downfall. It also means I don't have that excuse.

Maeker was running summer/war crest from what my wife said. Pike Phalanx does not stack up too terribly well to Ven. Blade though.
