Well, the flame is fading while the roundabouts keep clashing!

Last few minutes to get the lists in, and soon pairing for the first round!!

Hey guys!

We are getting close to the participation deadline, and it's the moment to announce some interesting news!

We have been offered free UB subscription for all participants for the duration of the tournament!!

So if anyone doesn't have an ub sub and would be interested, just drop your UB username in here, and I will manage the rest!

Also, I'm starting to confirm players with valid army lists. So if you uploaded a list and don't see yourself as a confirmed player, take a second look if your list is legal!

For those of you speculating about the UD - they're massively batshit crazy 2019 level broken atm (IMO ofc)

I went and looked at tournament stat results on NR from the past couple weeks and found 11.3, 10.2, 10.1, and 9.5. Seems like its pretty close to balanced, what makes you think they are batshit crazy broken?

oh noes, an army which was so bad that you were lucky to even see someone playing it got buffs. It must be overpowered now!

Hell, I was so excited at the prospect of facing some UD again, I grudged poor @Sicks.

Now his shiny new OP army is going to get crushed under my Dwarven heels and that's going to make him sad. And that wouldn't be happening to him if RT hadn't buffed UD to a level they were viable to appear in tourneys again. I hope they're proud of themselves.

Listbuilding with an admittedly very talented team mate. Reading the book. Comparing some prices. General understanding of the game. But mostly, the fact that it was nowhere near a weak book, and yet got by faaar the biggest buffs. It was, on very small sample size, the runaway top scorer at last year's ETC. It had several viable builds. It ranked close to average in its results last years. And yet it got buffed waaay more than some of the armies solidly behind it.

Last year it was 15th out of 16 armies, and no army was 'solidly' behind it. (ID was 0.1 average points per game below UD). And UD had literally half the games of the next least popular army.

The buffs were justified.

someone posted the results from a large polish event where ud averaged 8.4. Maybe the Belgium meta is different and UD does really well there.

Also checked last years etc scores. Doesn't look like they were the "runaway top scorer" on the individual ranking it looks like UD came in 10th and 54th

while I usually not complain about free stuff, i would like to ask if there is any information about when we would receive the generous ub pro account?
Have a game scheduled for tonight and having pro would help me set up the match faster
