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 Lakitu Valley from Back Tees. I knew I still wanted to preserve my strongest characters for CCF Front and some midpower characters for PCG Back. I used DK and Mario for my games. Akirry used Petey and Bowser. I had Bowser Jr on deck just in case; figured I'd lead off DK just to not get trounced on the shortest par 4s or longest par 5s. I won 2-0 to advance to Loser's Finals.
