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 Akirry at Shifting Sands from Back Tees. Akirry is quite good, but for some reason does not match well against me in particular. Knowing what lay ahead, I knew I needed to preserve balanced and power characters for later, so I used Luigi and Yoshi for my games. Akirry used Bowser Jr and Mario, perhaps hoping to steal a par 5 such as 2 or 18. I won 2-0 to advance to the next round in winners.
