My tournament experience

My experience

The premise

Tournament has started on Saturday, 17:00 GMT +2, with 256 players, most participants being at 10.000+ MMR at the start, and a good chunk at over 13.000. The registration, on the other hand, was opened at Oct 31, and was filled within 24 hours, which was a surprising pace. The tournament started with a small amount of players not checking in and, hence, having to be awaited for and excluded by-time. Since I was not in the participant list, I replaced one of the people that have not shown up, and got to play with my non-10k this season.

My 3 matches

So, given 10k MMR as a bare minimum, the tournament was not gonna be easy, and it wasn't. My first game ended in 6th place, with no materials saved from it. Second game at round 8's combat facing the opponent with this board, which I'm totaly not salty about and totaly don't think is highrolled:

Right after that, next game, turn 8-9 combat again(what a coincidence), this is the opponent's board:

Now I may not be at the level of +10k MMR, but an updated Last One Standing seems to contribute just the slightest bit.

That was my tournament experience.
