MGTT Matchplay Server: discord.gg/7EBUwSNaGq
Here is a new short series from a new MGTT Match Play tournament that spawned from Discord. This follows a unique format that adds new layers to the competitive meta as it currently stands. This Random Open differs as follows:
- Courses randomly selected for brackets
- Matches compromised of best-of-3 sets of "Random 9" match games, with the tiebreaker being a "Random 3" game.
- Each set eliminates one character from your roster of 16 characters for the whole tournament. Once your roster is exhausted, you get a reset.
- A coin flip decides a player who gets to decide if they want to go 1p or 2p. This can be advantageous to either take a character an opponent might have wanted to use, or to scout your opponent and have second-shot advantage. Loser of each set gets priority for the next set.
This match is against Winks at Blooper Bay from Front Tees. Knowing what lay ahead, I knew I needed to preserve balanced and power characters for later, so I used Diddy Kong and Koopa Troopa for my games. Winks used Luigi and Bowser Jr. I won 2-0 to advance to the next round in winners.
