DCSS: 0.34 Tournament Results

From DCSS: link to original post

The 0.34 tournament is over. On behalf of the Dev Team, many thanks to all the server admins, outside contributors, bug reporters, and to the many DCSS players who made the 0.34 release and tournament possible! For 16 days, players could compete for tournament points and banners by playing 0.34 games on the public servers.

Congratulations to FlugKiller for taking first place in the individual competition, with 125,695 points and 21 wins! FlugKiller tied sekai for longest streak of the tournament (14 wins), had the 2nd fastest realtime win (a MiFi won in 25:47), and the 3rd lowest turncount win (a TrMo won in 15,785 turns). Additionally, FlugKiller had species high scores for Mi and Dj, class high scores for FE and Sh, and 4 combo high scores. Finally, and although this isn’t in a tournament category, it’s still impressive: FlugKiller had the first win of the tournament, a MiFi of Gozag won 48 minutes after tournament start. It’s interesting that the 0.33 tournament winner, EnegeticOcto, also had the first win of the tournament, which was also a MiFi of Gozag. Even more amazing is that FlugKiller’s MiFi of Gozag realtime win from this tournament had the exact same time as EnegeticOcto’s MiFi of Gozag realtime win in the 0.33 tournament.

Other big winners:

• EnegeticOcto (aka Lici the Crawler): 2nd place overall with  116,222 points and 23 wins. Lici had the highest scoring run of the tournament, an AtCj worth 78M points. Lici was also the only player to win all tier 3 banners, and the only person to win Elyvilon’s tier 3 banner, which he achieved via a SpEn that killed just 933 monsters. He was 2nd in the Combo High Scores category, with 2 species high scores (At and MD), 2 class high scores (Cj and HW), and 6 combos high scores. Finally, he had the 3rd fastest realtime win of the tournament, a MiFi won in 29:50.
• sekai: 3rd place overall with 108,465 and 24 wins, including a 14 win streak that tied FlugKiller for best in tournament. Sekai also got 2nd in the Nemelex’ Choice category by winning 16 Nemelex’ Choice combos. Finally, sekai had the En class high score and 8 combo high scores.
• Sergey: Won the Winrate category with a perfect performance over ten games. Before this tournament, Sergey already had an ongoing world record win streak of 92 wins with non-repeating combos. During the tournament, he extended this streak to triple digits with 102 wins. Congratulations, Sergey!
• p0werm0de: Won the Realtime category with a MiFi of Cheibriados that ascended in 23:30.
• sentinel: Won the Low Turncount category with a TrGl of Wu Jian that ascended in 12,904 turns.
• bookman: Won the Nemelex’ choice category by winning 24 Nemelex’ Choice combos.
• Turgon: Won the Combo High Scores category with just 4 wins that were both the species and class high score for that combo: OpHs, TrFw, OnGl, and BaWn.

The clan competition was won by Bane of Ogre (captained by EnegeticOcto) with 136,467 points and 1st in the clan Streak Length, Best High Score, Combo High Scores, Low Turncount Win, and Banner Collection categories. They also took 2nd in the Fastest Realtime category, and 3rd in the Nemelex’ Choice category.
