Bracket and Predictions for 2016 Ator/205 RPS tournament
 

James205 and Ator wanted to host a tournament between current and aspiring Rock Paper Scissor legends, so we set up a bracket of 32: http://challonge.com/classicrps


It'll be on on Saturday, December 10th @ 7pm EST in James205's guild house. Everyone will show up and we'll run through the bracket just like the GST.
James should be streaming it on his Twitch channel, and Zetectic sent me a PM so he might be around to make sick metal edits for YouTube.


Winner will get $20, generously offered by James. We're also going to have a bracket predictions contest, sort of like a March Madness thing. I don't have too many ideas for a prize yet, but right now I'm willing to give 10 Christmas gifts to whoever first comments the name of the final winner. We'll probably come up with something more, but for now just consider it to be for bragging rights.


To participate in the prediction contest, simply reply to this thread with who you think will win the entire tournament. The first person to predict the winner will get the prize. You don't have to predict a score, just the winner of the tournament.


This is supposed to just be a fun holiday thing for Graal, but we're trying to get others involved and maybe show staff that there's interest in an official Rock Paper Scissors tournament. Thanks in advance to anyone who shows up to watch and to James and Ator for the idea and prize offering.

THIS **** SO HYPE BROS

finally a Graal competition that involves some level of intelligence and strategy

Agreed, tired of these ****** sparrers thinking what they do takes skill. The real competition is in the RPS community.

I see empty spots, would it be possible for me to join? :o

Absolutely! Please PM Ator (Government) in game to reserve a spot, they should fill up quick.

Lemme in...

Predicted winner: myself :D

lol, I didn't think you were serious when you mentioned it.

Do you think RPS is a f***ing joke Lia?

How do you participate

Maybe if RPS gains popularity they will finally make a card game

I've been dreaming of that since I saw the deck of cards in the Owls nest :D

Study up fellas, I predict I'm going to win this **** anyway, but in case you do study you can ask yourself this:

Why should I study RPS? What will RPS do for me? As with any sport, the answer to these questions is “That depends on what you put into it.”

RPS is gaming at its most basic, its most fundamental. Take anything away, and it ceases to be a game at all. Every other game, at some level, contains RPS. Like chess or fencing, the rules are simple, but the game itself is as complex as the mind of your opponent.

Playing RPS probably won’t make you rich and famous. Chances are good you won’t win an Olympic gold medal. And it’s not likely to improve your physique, maximize your sex appeal, jump-start your career or expand your memory. Many players have found, however, that studying RPS gives them a greater understanding of how gaming relates to human behavior. In that sense, RPS can help you find success in other areas, but only if you have the determination to work hard and think hard – not just in RPS, but in every area of your life.

you may not win a gold medal but you can make that prick James literally pay you and that's about as close as it gets

Nice lie. 😂

I can't wait to see you choke in RPS again, pretty sure everytime I've seen you RPS you just blindly choose rock every time. Seriously even toddlers are better at RPS than your dumb ass.
