So far this final 16 has been great.
Each game really seems to be coming down to just one or two decisions or mistakes.

Artifact |OT| Development Stopped

He was probably just thinking about the damage and not about the death at all. He was just trying to not tie basically. Health just didn't come into the thinking at all.
I know you're joking, I can just see why him dying didn't even come to mind.
The amazing top deck lmao
It's like Valve is watching the tournament and saying "Let's make it as interesting as possible and skew the RNG"

Felt kinda bad honestly. Didn't draw a single annihilation all game, right? Or did he play one? I'm rooting for Swim though. Been following him through Gwent and enjoy his Artifact streams more than actually playing the game.
Oof, the commentary on that second match was painful to listen to.
Lumi going off without any card draw in hand was ridiculously risky, and the moment he played the second Selemene, Swim basically just won. The casters freaking out like Lumi had won when they could see the annihilations in Swim's hand was bizarre. Also, OD is a quality meme.
Third match was crazy though. Both players went off really hard there. Lumi only running 2 annihilations was devastating.

The highlight of this entire tournament for me has been Slacks spilling his coke. Literally in tears during that entire segment.
Cheers.

WOW THE LUMI SWIM GAMES
That clutch top deck Annihilation that didn't change anything!
I feel like it came down to that second match and Swim outplayed him overall
Also JJ got absolutely stomped
This really is a great tournament. It shows that with a professional setup that the commentary can be great, matches are exciting and decks are varied (although obviously red green is #1).
I'm loving that there's so many different tech heroes too. In Green decks alongside Treant we're seeing Drow, Lycan, Abaddon, Dark Seer and Omni. I'm glad that the game is balanced enough that we aren't seeing the exact same builds from everyone.

I mean, we have someone using Outworld Devourer in top 8. A week ago I would've said that's ridiculous
An expansion adding some variety to the top heroes of Red and Blue could make shit really interesting. Or at least some cards with synergies with other heroes to make them more viable.
I'm loving the variety, but I can only wonder how varied it can eventually get.
Been watching some of the tournament here and there. as annoying as monoblue can be and annihilation is super annoying it does make it interesting for the other player to have to play for all 3 lanes.
Also I'm thinking of just biting the bullet and spending 20 dollars to grab a bunch of cards I don't have yet. Maybe I'll wait until next week's update.

That was a game where I definitely feel like Swim got outplayed but got really lucky to get the win.
He got screwed on the second game, but I agree with Slacks on the second one. Ramp is the most common decks played and he left no answer for it in the deck he was playing and didn't play with his other deck that was an answer for it.
First game he was kind of screwed on, but the second game went exactly how it would any other time. It's who gets the ramp first.

Super impressed by Maggo
EDIT:
As much as I'm enjoying this tournament. This EGB gambling shit is really starting to grind on me. We get enough exploitative gambling ads in real sports.
15k viewers! So many chat spammers though....

Damn, up to 16k viewers. WePlay single handedly trying to bring Artifact some more relevance.
Oh god, the Coup discard!!

I was internally screaming don't "Don't coup! Don't coup!".
Artifact has 7x more viewers than players! Good job.

Twitch chat mad about a tie lol
Maggo chose to not try to go for the ancient. He had a deployment, a blink on PA, and creeps to play. He could have tried for the win but he played for the tie.
I don't think I could be any more satisfied than seeing this game won by Maggo with Loadstone.

I think as it's rising and more people are viewing as it gets to the finals people are checking in as it gets higher in the browser. Chat is a whole lot of my game vs your game and bot complaining.
Maggo wins!
Lodestone never had the chance to do much, but amazing that a guy running it actually won the tournament lol.

The subdued reactions from both players had me thinking it was going to a game 3 for BO5 or something. No reactions at all.
