Stimhack League Top 4 Stream with Dan D'Argenio and Timmy Wong, Sunday 2/8, 2PM EST

Btw, I won’t be there. It’s sunday evening, so I’ll do my weekly jogging. I’ll watch it later. Good luck to you all :+1:

Still only have three decklists, DQ for Johnny? :kissing_heart:

super bummed I can’t watch this live

send me the decklists

CHANGE OF PLAN!

it will be on my channel, Twitch

@mediohxcore PM with the lists.

Okay. I have recorded the first 2 rounds of the non streamed matches featuring @JohnnyCreations vs @RotomAppliance & Johnny vs lpoulter. The final round between Roto and lpoulter will be recorde by @lpoulter.

These are just straight OCTGN captures using the spectator mode with OBS. I have been messing around with OBS and still have a few things to work out. I do not plan on commentating on these as I have only been playing around 6 months. If anyone wishes to commentate or do anything, I can provide the files. If not I will post them to youtube just posterity’s sake.

So I think this was a perfect example of why no one likes ITD.

I thought it was pretty awesome. Netrunner at it’s strangest?

Wouldn’t want to play it day in day out, but once in a while? Sure.

It’s interesting to see once or twice but if you’ve seen the deck play before it can be a real snoozefest :stuck_out_tongue:

So how’d this turn out overall? I only caught like… the bad middle of @JohnnyCreations getting wrekt for lack of a credit versus @bblum 's ITD ;).

ITD is just… argh.

I accept full responsibility for any hard feelings. But it seemed like a great meta call, and with rounds not being timed, I couldn’t resist.

Great job with the league organization @Argamas and @lpoulter, and once again, great showings by everyone.

Alls fair in the top 4, you play to win. Just as I will happily play NEH when I’m trying to win until clot appears.

It’s not even good ITD games, Ipoulter/Johnny either didn’t have any answers or they didn’t seem to be experienced enough to know how to play against ITD.

On the other hand, I don’t think it’s even worth the effort to be experienced against ITD considering it seems to be only viable in no or very long time limit games as we just saw.

I think Noise and maybe just anarchs in general are the hardest matchup for ITD? But I haven’t looked into it closely.

@lpoulter made what could have been some very costly mistakes but I think @JohnnyCreations just didn’t have any answers available. The one deck that beat the ITD deck was Valencia.

Your deck was well-positioned to beat it. As soon as I saw david and SMC together I knew I was in trouble. But I have plenty of noise hate – 2 archived mem, 3 architect, and 2 lotus. The ITD hardly matters in that matchup; you just score out behind lotuses.

I won’t bother with my runner decklist; it’s vanilla @Calimsha kate (45 cards, not playing the atman or plascrete). Here’s my corp list though. And major shoutouts to @Calimsha helping me learn the matchups of his deck.

I’ll post mine too. Its tol NEH and Valencia with 3 clone chip 3 SMC. I tried out Zulu for a while instead of one clone chip but it costs so much to break the codegates that beat Yog that I took it out. I almost played a funkier variant of the NEH deck that has 2 Nebulas, but I haven’t tried it much.

Yes I tilted pretty hard after I saw the IT dept. Panicked knowing I had to deal with it asap which made my brain turn to mush. Not the best time to play my first game against it. Great move by Ben to play it in this untimed environment.
