Hate: This shit.

1:28 AM Round 2: [@G]C0LD L0GIC[@K] (1) - Tyrodium (2)
1:30 AM Tyrodium has been eliminated.

Let me translate that for you. I'm in a large Magic tourney online, and I lose the first round with that opponent at 1 life and me just getting lands for 5 turns, enough time for him to drop repeat threats that take me from 20 - 0 in those five turns. No big deal, that happens a lot.

I go to the loser's bracket, get paired against a tough matchup. However, the guy I'm playing (as nice as he was) keeps screwing up. He had the kill sitting on the board and just had to activate it, taking me to 2 and just NOT USING THAT ABILITY. Despite having just put it into play that turn with that intention. This is game three of that, and he just keeps being dumb, but the thing is he keeps suiciding over and over into my guys clearing his own board but then just playing cards from the top of his deck each turn and just literally out drawing me, just turning stuff sideways without any plan. He of course wins doing this, with me holding exactly what I need in my hand with one land short.

So he wins. This puts me x/2 in the brackets, which is enough that if tiebreakers are counted, I still won't make the top 8 and get into the prizes. I can still keep playing for fun, but winning every round will not get me into the prizes.

He will, since he beat me, if he plays well the rest of the way up.

So he drops from the tournament two minutes after knocking me out.
