[UBW] Ultimate Blockland Warrior {v2} Ayxrion vs Aware >:D
Lalam24:
I lost to kalph in 4 3 life practice rounds with the RL. This meant I would lose, by statistic, in a real match with him and the RL, and if I had won, I would only win on a fluke. A part of me thinks the only way to really go on with this is to forfeit seeing as I was fairly beaten 4 times already, but at the same time I'm sure everyone here has fought against everyone else and has lost significantly or otherwise.
The second set of rounds are suppose to be chosen by the two players who are facing each other, so I'm not going to forfeit -- however, I will not go beyond that round even if I win. I believe Kalphiter's shown enough that he deserves to go beyond me, but I know we both know what we'd like to do for a second round, if we both win our first, and get paired up together.

The deeper issue is that an early win/loss can thwart the actual skill ranking just because you're fighting someone disproportionally worse/better than you. Not only that, but one fight with one particular set of circumstances does not correctly measure overall performance and ranking. The problem is that it is near impossible to organize a competition correctly. People tend to forget this about competitions.
I know myself that, when given the right circumstances, you would make it to the later (2nd and beyond) rounds.

I still don't feel like I could, in good conscience, go beyond the second round.

You could definitely get somewhere if you fought in an environment like LegoPepper's server.

Honestly, this isn't as much "ultimate blockland warrior" as it is "single elimination default deathmatch"
Where are the vehicles? The crazy weapons? The hundreds of existing and original gametypes that could be used in a semi-competitive setting?
