I'm glad to see a score for "Pia Christmas-Møller", because I wasn't sure about the "ø".

lol, is very surprising two players do the same score and the same time, further double time in Pia Christmas-Møller

[asmussen]

Actually that's not a coincidence. When I first started submitting scores in the game, I didn't even have a forum account yet, and when I made one it didn't occur to me to make it match my in game handle. With these tournaments though, it makes sense to have them match, and starting this week I had decided to start submitting under my forum handle instead of just 'Shawn'. I forgot to switch until after I had already submitted one score though, so I just resubmitted the score under asmussen and that's what I'll be using from here on out.

It's my first tournament that has experimental someone can give me tips on this type of map, where it is totally different from others. Ty

I struggled a bit on how best to use the dark beam on this one, and I remembered watching a video that SmileCoder posted a while back that used one. The purpose of the video was to illustrate how to use shields against drones, but if you watch the whole thing, you also get to see a little bit of how the dark beam + a lot of mirrors can be used to eliminate creeper very quickly. I also learned about the 'N' key for the first time while figuring this out. Here's a link to the message where Smiley posted the video.

Shawn Asmussen may post the next tournament, if ranking won't change in the next ours.

So hears a small change on the scoreboard, because I've been playing the last few hours, and the new score is:
Sorry my bad english, because here where I live is not the language fluently.

Ty.

[asmussen]

Nice finish at the buzzer, Gu250. As you are now in second place, I assume ea3401 is now passing the tournament to you.

[ea3401]

Oh, sorry, that was unexpected. Congrats Gu250! Next tournament is on you.
