OOO Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) After 73 days of classic arcade gaming and competition, MGL30 has now come to a close. The final standings are below: http://i.imgur.com/ymLgz8U.png CONGRATULATIONS to the Top 20 in MGL30 … where we had 44 competitors battle it out over 10 games … of which 2 games were the first time ever played in the MGL. These were Jr Pac-man and Section Z, both good games too. Congratulations to DaLar on his maiden MGL win … he did not win any games, however he played consistently great in all games for a fantastic and very close win ... and masterfully in the last game too … the cool Dane takes it! After 9 games and 1 to go, there was a tie for 1st place … it all came down to that last game … Barra just misses out, even though he won 4 games, and takes a brilliant 2nd place … just short of the title by 3 points! fok999 played in his first MGL, taking out Scramble and playing very strongly in all games. He posted some great bugs and crazy game play in Qix … and a terrific effort for 3rd place. magrinder started well and finished very strongly in the last 5 games to take out 4th place … that work and travel between New Hampshire and Chicago may have taken something out of his tank … but still an extremely good result! RMacauley scores well … almost didn’t compete …and finishes 1 place better than last tournament for a very nice 5th place … only 8 points behind 4th place … and that’s a Top 6 finish in his last 17 consecutive MGLs … absolutely amazing! CrazyKongFan played extremely well in this tournament … he took out a tough and very enjoyable game in Jr Pac-man … and racks up his 7th consecutive MGL tournament with 6th place … nice work! bigredbird takes out Mr Do! in consecutive contests in a classic battle with churgs ... provides an excellent and very detailed updated guide on how to play (and how not to play) Mr Do! … keeps making the smack … and boy makes you wonder what happened in the first game … misses out on 6th place by 2 points … and still takes out a very accomplished 7th place! Sawys scores steady … and while just missing out on the title in MGL29, backs it up with a fine 8th place in his 3rd MGL. SectionZ can you believe it, has one of his favourite games drawn in Section Z … and everyone discovers what a very interesting and difficult game this is … he posts some great tips on how to play this game … comes in 2nd place in Rygar, 3rd place in Wonder Boy, 4th place in Section Z ... and overall nails a well earned 9th place in tough competition. creech played great in Jr Pac-man for 2nd place in that game, 6th in Joust and overall made the Top 10 with a nice 10th place … just missing out on 9th place by 1 point! camaro played in his 10th MGL (great effort) and finished in a good 11th place, improving on his MGL29 finish by 1 place! churgs plays in his first MGL and competes brilliantly for the Mr Do! title. What a great score on medium settings at 1.3 million on Mr Do! for 2nd place! … plus an excellent 3rd placing in Jr Pac-man … earning an overall well played 12th place. The Evener plays his first ever MGL and plays really well in all of the games for a “lucky for some” … 13th place. Foot as always plays solid in all of the games, despite the frustration of CAG, and finishes in 14th place. bensweeneyonbass plays all games in the MGL for the first time in his last three … and really improved his scores for a surprisingly good 15th place! He misses by only 1 point on 14th place. thejudge playing in his 3rd MGL, scores consistently in the mid 80s for a neat 16th place. BandontheRun improves again on his last MGL for a good 17th place, and only 1 point behind 16th place. Vikleroy plays his 2nd MGL and also plays well with steady good scores … and finishes in a tie with ozfalcon for 18th place. So going to the head to head count, Vikleroy takes a good 18th place with a 7 to 3 win ratio. ozfalcon joins the MGL for competitive scoring and gaming and just misses out by head to head count on 18th place to finish in a well earned 19th place. Fire_Power games skillfully to finish in 20th place to complete the Top 20 … and in his 18th consecutive MGL … a gaming legend of the tournament! The podium finished with a great gamer from Denmark taking this prestigious CAG title in 1st place, a special New Zealander in 2nd place, another fine French player in 3rd place … then an American in 4th place … and an Australian in 5th place. That’s a different nationality for each placing in the Top 5 … With 10 games contested there were 7 different game winners … Barra, bigredbird, CrazyKongFan, fok999, MichaelD, Shahbaz and terencew Congratulations to the game winners too … http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l500/sno-bee/Wonderboy_MGL30_Winner_zpsreqfhzc7.png http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l500/sno-bee/MarioBrosMGL30Winner_zps8macf00l.png http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l500/sno-bee/GuzzlerMGL30Winner_zpsw7u8fzln.png http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l500/sno-bee/RygarMGL30Winner_zps97grgiix.png http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l500/sno-bee/ScrambleMGL30Winner_zps2cttrqcw.png http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l500/sno-bee/MrDoMGL30Winner_zpswshxwana.png http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l500/sno-bee/JrPacmanMGL30_Winner_zpsj9fevrcn.png http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l500/sno-bee/JoustMGL30Winner_zpsfixyssd0.png http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l500/sno-bee/SectionZMGL30Winner_zpsutzrbt6x.png http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l500/sno-bee/QixMGL30Winner600pixel_zpsvwpid15r.png I have updated the virtual trophies for the Top 3 … with the deadly opponents from Game 8 Joust … Champion: DaLar http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l500/sno-bee/DaLar_30_25mm_zpstaapwgxh.png 2nd: Barra http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l500/sno-bee/Barra_30_25mm_zpsyzbxrlbf.png 3rd: fok999 http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l500/sno-bee/fok999_30_25mm_zpsebbedejh.png I hope you all enjoyed the tournament … playing a full MGL since MGL23 over Xmas and the New Year ensured there was never a dull moment … the tips on Mr Do! and SectionZ were outstanding … we had the MAME world champion on Rygar join us … the rivalry between bigredbird and churgs on Mr Do! was intense … the finish between DaLar and Barra for the title was titanic … you all competed very well … and I really enjoyed the information sharing, good humour and the high standard of competition in the tournament. A special tournament, definitely to remember, marking the 10 year anniversary of the MGL and 30 competitions of extreme classic arcade gaming. A truly global competition that welcomes all gamers from every country all over the world! Congratulations Daniel Larsen, MGLXXX World Champion.

Barra Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Congrats Dalar - too good in the end. 2 games really did me in here, Do! and Jr. Pacman. Shows that you have to be consistent across the board and not just rely on a few games. No way I'd have ever beaten that Qix score. Tough last game for me. Results would have been interesting using the % system :D http://donkeykongforum.com/Smileys/default/smileyvault-stirthepot.gif Thanks again OOO for another awesome tournament.

RMacauley Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I have to agree 100% with what Fire_Power just posted. Once again thank you to OOO for running an awesome MGL. While I wasn't planning on playing this time I'm SO glad I did. An amazing line up of games and the camaraderie (and for that matter banter, stirring or whatever you want to call it) between all of us throughout the comp was fantastic. My congratulations to all who competed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigredbird Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 A huge thank you to @OOO for hosting another tournament. The time you take to review the scores and prepare the scoreboards is much appreciated. Your old arcade pics are cool too. You must have been very busy in your youth, travelling the world and capturing photographs of us MGL players in our local arcades. Thanks to all MGL competitors as well. I enjoy the banter and sledging and the feel good vibe of playing in the MGL. I also enjoyed smashing @churgs on the best game ever created in the history of gaming - Mr. Do! See you in the next MGL. Game on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
