Tacky and I started a Best of 11 challenge a week or so ago as part of a Discord chat. Thanks to Platinum for arranging a selection phase where we agreed to the following templates:
1. Strategic Commanders - Bodski won 2. GME III - on-going 3. Greece LD 4. Turkey LD 5. Slow Burn 6. Volcano Island 7. British Raj 8. Elitist Africa 9. Fast Earth 10. Macedonia NS
The more observant readers may notice that there are only 10 games in the above list. Once one player has 5 wins, the next game will be played on the SE1W template and will be broadcast live on the next Bodcast.
How do we compare ?
Well Tacky has much more experience and natural flair for the game, whereas I am still relatively new and tend to play in a more slow and deliberate manner. In a general sense, the community seems divided on who will prevail. Most seem to think that I will win by default due to Tacky becoming bored or distracted so losing as a result of booting or non-joining. If this happens, we should refer to it as a TACO event because Tacky Always Chickens Out.
If it is a matter of who has the better credentials, I think that Tacky does look to be the best player and many think that he has the higher ceiling. Rufus initially weighed in offering to wager 10,000 coins on me winning. This seemed to be based on me asking how OD Cards work. Nobody took the bet, but Rufus’ confidence seems to have waned somewhat after witnessing the first move in one of my 1v1 Ladder games.
What is at stake ?
The loser has to play a season of Clan Wars in the winner’s Clan.
Game 2: Tacky 1-1 Game 3: Bodski 2-1 Game 4: Bodski 3-1 Game 5: Tacky 2-3 Game 6: Tacky 3-3 Game 7: Tacky 4-3 Game 8: Tacky 5-3 Game 9: Bodski 4-5 on the live Bodcast Game 10: Bodski 5-5 Game 11: Bodski 6-5 Bodski wins
I think Tacky is favored game 10 and 11 but I think momentum will shift to Bodski after the public beat down.
