I won my first tournament ! Wink

My Swiss Experience :
1st - Big P.P
Seeing that my Jimmy Hart is in my ring area, Alex refuses to play a non-unique maneuver and he uses a dynamic card as an action to search for Dynamic Finisher and uses it. I was quite stunned. The game mostly went his way till my JYD Chain was successfully played. Things changed but I was Pinfalled by Good Night Everyone, activating my through all these years ! Tongue

Managed to outlast BPP, most memorable match of the tournament. haha..

2nd - Vince
I didn't search for my JYD Chain as HIAC was played by OJuice. However had quite an easy time with my big grapples as he didn't have reversals in his hand ! Thought that i would have an easy win til the uses Comeback, remove all my cards till I had no fort left ! Lost the match in the end. :-/ It was a hard match, wished I would reversed that card.

3rd - Dangerous Alliance
Mike played Houston, I was lucky as he picked Revo of Mind as the first card and we carried on. He tried to reduced my handsize but I'm feel comfortable even without my hand. Took back JYD Chain and Leaping DDT from my Ringside. Managed to play my JYD Chain successfully and made Mike discard his whole hand. He was quite stunned. Grin

Comfortable win for me.

4th - DX
Leslie played Celebral Assasin which somehow blanked my ability when i played JYD Chain and forced him to discard his hand.. DAMN. lol. My lowest grapple fortitute was 5 and I had only 3 F then. Somehow i got 5 Fort by reversing his maneuvers and my grapples went in quite smoothly as he didn't have a hand during my turn. Quite a long game, but I eventually won. It was a really good game ! haha...

5th - Slaughter
I played Bitter Rivals in order to play Jimmy Hart first. After numerous attempts, my JYD Chain was in and his hand was gone. If he were to use his ability to search for more Sidewalk Slam TB to reverse my JYD Chain, he might have a better chance against me..

Quarter Finals - Dangerous Alliance...again
We already know each other's playing style so nothing much to say here... the game went and ended the same way as the Swiss.

Semi Finals - Edge
Funny game, BALLS quite bad luck, haha. His starting hand was massive. After the pre-match phase, we backstaged DonnyBrook and his hand didn't have a single Volley This ! LOL. My JYD Chain went to early and he discarded his massive hand, he didnt played much cards. Bad Luck for BALLS !

Finals - Shelton
During the Swiss, I've heard about Cyril's Shelton being quite irritating with his poke,shake,clutch,apply+Shelton's ability combo, which is quite impossible to reverse as I'm playing Revo of mind. Well I experienced it. During his first turn of the game, almost 1/3 of my Arsenal was gone already. I was quite disheartened by it, also he managed to reverse my JYD Chain numerous times. Made a little volley mistake which I realised only after the game, my chain should have went in earlier.. However it was finally in and he discarded his hand. My grapples went in quite smoothly after chain was in. Cyril was trying to take his impossible to reverse maneuvers from his Ringside Pile to use his SSA on me. Luckily I managed to reverse most of his cards and Shoot Countered to win the game via Pin Fall..

Special thanks to Alonso for telling me not to give up as I had a bad start to the game. Thanks buddy.

I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. Special Tournament Format are coming soon, OJuice will give us more details on that and also details on the SG Championship is coming up shortly ! 8-)
