losers cup
evening gentleman and ladies, so losers cup is under way as of today.
Elvin does the same apply with reverse matches here - and more important, will the winner of losers cup get a WILD card entry into winners "inner circle" cup?

Well i'm expecting the losers cup to run at the same time as the winners, so having a wild card entry into the winners circle would be impossible. That, and you'd end up with 5 players instead of 4.
Thanks for trying to get me back into the winners though

@Arv
Your friend's best bet is to downgrade his drivers to 301.42, at least till Nvidia sorts it out. Irina said they were working on it but we do not have an ETA.
@Emperor
I'm afraid not but the winner gets the next best thing, an opportunity to humiliate the tourney victor and earn an UNDERDOG achievement. Naturally this will be displayed along with the cup awards on the masterpost, along with his LOSER achievement  You'll see.

Is it in the way of an evening game as well? 
About the losers cup, no reverse is required unless you all agree that you'd like that.

Well, you clearly tried to get me into the winners. So this means you are a loser?

On one condition: I don't bother uploading our last match, since I wasn't planning on doing anything until I finished editing it... something I have yet to start

And a win for Gameslayer against Emperor. My artifacts completly sucked with no magic power increasing artifacts at all, along with being forced to get an artifact I couldn't equip (2 pendants of mastery, a dwarven shield and magisters sandals, when I already had lifeblod pendant and boots of the waverider). We both fired a lot of large spells at each other at the start of the game, leading to us both being mana starved when we needed it most. Fortunatly I had a saved guardian angel 4 up to ressurect a huge amount of my seraphs, along with pressed attack. I ALWAYS get pressed attack, because you never know, and in this case it definatly payed for itself. Granted I'd probably won without it, but it definatly solidified my victory. Before, it could have gone either way.

Locksley's Blood Magic Sanctury LOST to Elvin's Tears Might Inferno
First everything goes well: block shooters, destroy pitlords, first delay and then destroy ravagers without loosing any troops of my own.
And then suddenly luck and gating turns everything upside down in a blink of an eye.
But I'm still happy with my effort.

Pretty much. I was honesty surprised how that one turned around, I did not expect my original units to survive long enough for my gates to do their dirty work. But holy crap they did with unprecedented fervour. I had promised them treats before the game begun but what the hell!
I was not happy with my kappas landing a hit on breeders and tormentors but my lacelators saw an opening for the pearl priestesses and rushed for it. Luck!
Should I attack kappas with ravagers? Better not, the kirins might rape them next turn. Yukis freeze the ground but where? I have no incentive to cross the field with ravagers and the cerberi can actually deal some good damage on kensei and sharks. Decided to go for the kappas and not to risk it. That's where things started to fall apart. The cerberi uncovered the frozen terrain, right in front of the ravagers! Pwned. I had gotten MANY lucky hits so I summoned a pitlord to weaken those kensei a bit. Again my plans were foiled. Hailstorm aura and locksley's destructive killed all my pitlords but 2, those gates would not stay there for long. At least the kirins had gotten in a position I could gang up on them but my ravagers and their gates did not last much either.
Actual gangbagging not shown, more units joined and things got ugly. In fact.. they started hacking at those kirins like crazy, scoring one lucky hit after the other. Kirins actually fell. But yukis were still shooting from a secure place and there were plenty of mizu kami. I decided to use pressed attack on my gated breeders and they weakened mizu kami some. At that point locksley's mana seemed to be on the wane, I cursed my stupidity for keeping the breeders tied in the back when they could have been draining mana. Yet.. My lacerators, demented and their pals did short work of the kensei and mizu kami. They just tore them to shreds in an excess of pure overkill 
Since my original lacerators had not yet been killed and I managed to gate a huge stack of demented the game had turned around. Locksley started meditating on his next course of action. That was a good moment for me to reinforce my lacerators to keep both them and their gates alive.
Before I knew it the game was over. The damage sanctuary sustained when the kirins got surrounded was unreal and I consider it embarrassing that I did not anticipate the tables turning like that. That said my original forces were not all that numerous so I feared they'd start dying two stacks at a time. With locksley's forces cornered I was often set up for a circle of winter which never came but then his mana started decreasing faster after my breeders were freed and more were gated into the field.
Good game Locksley, I am not so certain this game would be mine if not for my outrageous luck.
Elvin Inferno and Locksley Sanctuary crossed out. Stronghold and sanctuary remaining.
