Online Dutch Open - The Playoffs!
Hi all!
The Online Dutch Open group stages are just about complete!
Congratulations to our five winners / eight playoff combatants:
North American Group: happygrue (High Elf)
Oceanic Group: Relezite (Wood Elf)
European Group 1: Thot (Amazon) / Soycu (Norse)
European Group 2: Yashin (Wood Elf) / Tripleskull (Wood Elf)
European Group 3: eldrichfox (Lizardmen) / Hamlet1980 (Wood Elf)
And our Stunty Cup Finalists:
Stimme (Goblin - North America) V Jopotzuki (Goblin - Europe)
Special comiserations to Jokaero (Dwarf) who missed out on qualification in European Group 2 on tiebreakers (strength of schedule). Next time!
The playoffs will begin shortly, and I will keep progress updated in the forum and in this blog space; I hope you’ll be able to follow the hunt for the overall Championship and those cool Dutch Open dice over the next three weeks. Support your local coach!
The next online NAF event is already cooking away in the background, and you can expect initial details this week via all of the usual channels. It’s going to be a good one with more physical prize support than ever before, so you’ll want to be a part of it!
Thanks to all that played in the Online Dutch Open, it’s been a blast.

Interesting 5 Elfs and an Amazon out of 8 spots.
Were the entrants also similarly biased toward woodies in particular?

You're welcome to count them up. ;)
In all seriousness, it's not a surprise (nor a problem) if Woodies are popular, they're one of the best teams and we don't have any tiering applied as of yet. There may be other encouragement up our sleeves, but wait and see on that. I thought this was the least Woodie friendly rule set we've seen so far, but they make up 2 of our 5 winners. Who knows, if we were to do it again it might be 0. Or 5?
Let's see what we get next time! :D

Yeah... I'm not doing any actual work ;)
I just found it interesting is all and wondered if it was representative of the entrants, or a measure of WE domination in that format.
Just one cycle though, but clearly there is some advantage to AV7 in a resurrection format that isn't there in others :)
