The Latvian Bad Day LA Tournament Picks!

Yes, the time has arrived. The time when the world discovers which of Determinance’s elite will be locked in mortal combat in order to strive for that most hallowed accolade: a copy of Bad Day LA….in Latvian.

And now, we hand you over live to Mode 7 Towers where the process is about to commence…

Lead Designer and Head of Picking Ian Hardingham swerves to avoid a squirrel as he tears around the country lanes of Oxfordshire en route to Mode 7 Towers…

At this stage, the draft process is being rigourously examined by an independent adjudicator.

The illustrious list of the chosen few is drawn up…

…and carefully divided by The Hands of Arbitration…

…sometimes even the Hands of Arbitration need to totally chill out with a Corona…

…as does the Face of Disdain (sponsored by Vidal Sassoon).

The highly complex and patented randomization algorithm is applied…

…and we learn that Archa is fighting Papple in the first round. The crowd goes insane.

Finally, PC Format knows what your rig wants better than you. Whether they will review our game or not remains to be seen…
After the picking process has been completed, we can exclusively reveal ROUND ONE:

Malakian vs. Faxmachinen

Nazriel vs. Telltolin

Dr Pineapple vs. Archa (Critics’ First Round Recommended Viewing)

Nadroj vs. Toshers

Mikeh vs. Aevalad

Worm vs. RichyGorgan

The Rules

Each tournament match will consist of a Best of 9 Duel Arena match with a time-limit of 60 secs using the default arena size.
Organise your matches in the original tournament thread, in-game, or on IRC.

Please report the outcome of your match in this thread. No cheating!
If you cannot play your match, or ever get one organised, let me know and your opponent will receive a bye to the next round.

Good luck! May the most ludicrous man win.
