I believe I got 17th out of...120+ people?
Everyone was divided into 20 groups where everyone played each other and the best 3 out of each group of 5-7 advanced to the 60 player double elimination bracket. I tied for 2nd in my 5 player pool at 5-3. I believe Arikado got 2nd in his pool at...6-2?
My draw was a little better than his. He got RoyR the first round and got stomped, then in the losers bracket he got one of the big shots that flew in from out of state, and got stomped
I got a noob the first round, then 2nd round got Stiltz, who has won several tournaments in Houston. I beat him decidedly, and no one saw it!
3rd round I get a super big shot from out of state, Mew2King (M2K). Though he beat me both 2-0, I gave him a good run. I got the first kill in both rounds, and was way up in the 2nd round. I was definitely within striking distance.
Next round in the loser's bracket I get Infinity, one of the top players from Dallas. I SO had it and I threw it away. Won the first round, was up in the 2nd but blew it, lost the 3rd
I played a set with RoyR later during casuals, since he is the MK killer. While he beat me 2-0, it was very close - High damage, last stock both rounds.
Also, I got a set in with Arikado
