So, he's playing with someone else. But honestly, who cares? I don't really mind... Why am I so worked up? :D
I don't really pay much attention to who gets matched with whom. Dex got matched – that's good.
And it's even better that it wasn't Eldar or Chernobog bots.
I just have one question: do we really need to wait until the end of the tournament to ban Eldar and Chernobog? Isn't six rounds enough to realize that they're not participating, they're not contributing anything to the tournament, and they don't care? Shouldn't we remove them from the schedule now?
Is it necessary to show a large number of participants in the final standings for this tournament?
Yavgen, for example, clearly stated at the beginning of December that he was withdrawing from the tournament. (We sometimes play together). Why is Yavgen still on the schedule? It's February now.
Maybe we should reduce the number of participants to those who are actually participating (the three players I mentioned in this post can easily be removed). We'll play the tournament faster and finish it sooner.
Or am I missing something?
P.S. Vip, since you admitted that the Swiss system is falling apart in this situation, can you make a suggestion for future rounds? My suggestion is: don't pair me with bots. If you really want to keep them, pair them with each other. Like in the 7th round – and continue like that until the end of the tournament.
