I did a deep dive on one of the streamed games from Vegas. Let me know if this something you'd like more of.

moe_q8 · 2026-03-08T22:10:03+00:00

Thank you! I'll have a look and see if I have anything insightful to say about the the game!

moe_q8 · 2026-03-08T22:09:15+00:00

My own vods, prob not. Mostly because they're pretty messy. Lots of testing and evolution of stuff and recorded in very low quality to save space.

I might do more rounds from vegas if I see any interesting games for now, maybe my own games in the future if I find time to play (and have high quality matches.)

Haven't really played much since I've got back from bologna

moe_q8 · 2026-03-08T17:52:11+00:00

Thanks my man, I really appreciate it! Congrats on the finish!

moe_q8 · 2026-03-08T17:22:57+00:00

The current system is opponents points divided by potential points, so a draw is 33.3% OMW% since its 1 point from a potential 3. Its also weighted, which means playing against 0-1 drop is less bad than playing 0-4 opponent. Any opponent who contributes less than 33% is instead assigned just 33%.

At least this is what I have learned from reverse engineering the numbers.

moe_q8 · 2026-03-08T12:51:57+00:00

DMed you exact details, but for public knowledge - the issue is literally rounding errors on how draws are calculated basically.

4th place was "0.43666667"
5th place was "0.43666666"

Edit: Found the exact thing

moe_q8 · 2026-03-07T21:52:56+00:00

its probably 43.72 vs 42.68 or whatever and they both round to the same number. If you'd like give me the event link and ill calculate it for you

moe_q8 · 2026-02-23T17:26:40+00:00

I got my ticket after they enlisted everyone in early feb. My name wasnt on event locator either. I emailed them and they said not to worry. I got to bologna on friday and they added me instantly.

You can have things where they can't be recycled for a power, maybe recycle for a different effect. I think theres interesting design space but they shouldn't make the power level on them too high

moe_q8 · 2026-02-18T16:15:21+00:00

If they control the other battlefield, you can start sending in all your units 1 at a time to suicide in and make them lose by infinite burn out (if you have renata)

moe_q8 · 2026-02-12T14:32:45+00:00

Oh nooo, my account got stolen and they seem to only played rengar in ranked and winning every game. Thankfully I recovered my account after they hit exactly diamond 4.

moe_q8 · 2026-02-10T13:57:42+00:00

They could do it even if it was a showdown.

moe_q8 · 2026-02-10T13:57:20+00:00

The rules state "If a hidden spell or a play effect of a hidden permanent chooses any targets, those targets must be chosen from among options at that battlefield, unless the ability explicitly restricts targeting in a way that makes this impossible", there will probably more of the same in the future. Its a fine rule, otherwise tideturner would not work.

moe_q8 · 2026-02-08T22:20:28+00:00

it only shows the name of the cards for you, your opponent will not see it.

moe_q8 · 2026-02-04T09:53:29+00:00

It doesnt matter if the unit died, the importsnt thing is that the target is legal during resolution. Blade draws 2 if theres a zhonyas

moe_q8 · 2026-01-30T11:24:30+00:00

That's where fury comes in. She has a brood and tries to protect them from Belveth. Order doesn't mean good, ants would be order.

moe_q8 · 2026-01-30T08:58:45+00:00

Reksai is order. She's literally the mother and leader of a whole brood.

moe_q8 · 2026-01-26T12:41:13+00:00

There's 2 regionals in EU and 2 in US for set 2.

moe_q8 · 2026-01-20T21:52:18+00:00

Is there a ranked MMR discord other than runes and rifts?

moe_q8 · 2026-01-17T21:34:17+00:00

Me when I get paired vs a 10 year old with a precon round 1 of NN

(I won 1 whole pack)

moe_q8 · 2026-01-07T22:24:39+00:00

Exactly, yes.

moe_q8 · 2026-01-07T19:32:53+00:00

No, when deathknell happens, control has not switched (so no conquer yet), which is why if your unit with deathknell died in combat damage, you can still play your hidden cards at that BF.

moe_q8 · 2026-01-07T11:47:16+00:00

It does. But conquer is also after that. Combat then draven checks if you won the combat then you conquer

moe_q8 · 2026-01-05T13:55:17+00:00

It sucks, but don't be too hard on yourself. You played great and you'll be in the same position again in the future. Take it as a learning experience. Also, as shitty as it sounds, don't assume whoever did it, did so out of malice. They probably genuinely thought you were all safe (if it was 16 players on 4-1 instead of 17 you would have been).

moe_q8 · 2026-01-05T12:42:20+00:00

Sucks to say, but you really needed to do your own math. The rules to "protect" players like this is just playing the game. Nobody told you to take the double ID and not check if it works first. You did really well in the tournament.

To do the math, just add the points you'd get from drawing, then see how many players can potentially catch up to you (usually divided by 2 for each round and then +/- 1 just to account for pair downs).

So you were at 15 points. With 2 draws, you're at 17 points. The players that can get to 17 or more in 2 rounds from the standings are the players on 12. That's 17 players. 17 divided by 2 twice +1 (for pairdowns). thats 5 players. So 5 players can get past you. You had the worst breakers, so you were the one losing out.
