In war, it’s often the victors that gets to write the narrative. Since I was captain of the Mixr Users team, history is how I see it. What I saw was…total domination by Mixr Users!! From the beginning, it never seemed like Mixr Bloggers had much of a chance, but people expected a much closer battle instead of the 7-2 final outcome. One of those points on the Mixr Blogger team, by the way, came from a Mixr User not playing. Let’s get to the breakdowns:
Running Blue
Blake Lovell - 138900
Ranj971 - DNP
I told Ranj971 not to play so as to make it a little fair for Blake.
Chronicles of Raynor
Hoc - 15971
Jordan Pailthorpe - 10430
Jordan is the CM of Wirebot, our gaming site. But since I hired him, I’m > than him. According to the score, by about 53% to be exact.
Luna
conkwe - 1,376,100
Kristen Joerger - 88,750
I added the comma in there for emphasis. Notice one score has 7 digits and the other has 5 digits. Luna is also this week’s pin challenge game.
Ultimate Force 2
AnabelStars - 27200
Yuliya Geikhman - 18700
Yuliya, former MVP of the Battle of the Sexes, is no match for Anabel’s special forces prowess. I’m glad there’s people like Anabel protecting America.
Ninja Santa
Zephyr - 32193
William Leary - 12071
To quote Zephyr, “Will needs to almost triple his score to beat mine :D“. Truer words have never been spoken.
Blastwave: Lost at Sea
JefferyKuo - 709
Lindsey Costa - DNP
You want to feel bad for Lindsey here…she had connection issues. But there is no room for sorry in MLG. Also, I believe this is Jeff’s first win ever in a MLG match. Congrats to him.
Metal Monster
Contagiouslaughter - 195100
Sidory Dan Perry - 171000
The “closest” match of the tournament was this one. In the end, CL outclicked SDP. Kudos to both competitors.
HeliAssultRedux
Lilsparky67 - 96400
Jeremy Kenarangi - 71500
Jeremy has a bad habit of thinking his “high scores” are safe. Lilsparky was just waiting for his opponent to feel a sense of comfort before he rips them to shreds.
Fantasy Art World
Jinra - 428713
Cheekybodacious - 196719
Ugh what can I say here. Jinra had connection problems all day. This was Cheeky’s to take. I guess he fears Jinra or something. There is no room for fear in MLG.
Anyways, to the winners, you get a golden dragon pin. Wear it proudly! Coming up, MLG Ladder Round 2! Starts next weekend. Stay tuned for details.
