The\u00a00.25 tournament<\/a>\u00a0is over. On behalf of the Dev Team, many thanks to all the server admins, outside contributors, bug reporters, and to the many DCSS players who made the 0.25 release and tournament possible! For 16 days, players could compete for tournament points and banners by playing 0.25 games on the public servers. This was the first tournament held with a major revision of the tournament rules, and there will be discussion threads on the tavern and dcss subreddit to collect feedback on the tournament rules.<\/p>\n

This post is going to focus on the results. First, a few highlights from the player and clan results. For comprehensive results with first through fifth place winners in all categories, please see the\u00a0tournament overview page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The winning player was Yermak<\/a>\u00a0with 5,819 points. Over the course of the tournament, Yermak won 44 games, including a streak of 17 games and a low-turncount world record of 8,783 turns<\/a> (Sapher, the previous record holder has reclaimed the throne with a post tournament 8,331 turn win). In second place was shummie<\/a>\u00a0with 4,235 points and 20 wins, including the lowest XL win with an XL 15 SpEn<\/a>\u00a0and a 52 Ziggurat mega-zigging character. Rounding out the top 3 was Flugkiller<\/a> with 3,513 points and 14 wins, including the first win of the tournament<\/a> 35 minutes and 32 seconds after the tournament started with a duration of 35 minutes and 12 seconds.<\/p>\n

The new tournament format divided scoring in to several categories, and our top three took several of the top spots in these categories. They weren’t the only players at the top of the leaderboard. Yermak maxed out the Piety<\/a> category, championing and winning every god over the tournament. The Unique Harvesting<\/a> category included player ghosts, and by diving Ziggurats for player ghosts\u00a0ehdcjf2142<\/a>\u00a0won the category with 1,332 points. Long time crawl dev\u00a0elliptic<\/a>\u00a0topped the tournament Win Rate<\/a>\u00a0category, with an impressive 90.91% adjusted win-rate, winning all 10 games played over the tournament. Yermak had the longest streak<\/a>, and tied for second place were\u00a0GordonOverkill<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0MrMan<\/a>\u00a0with 13 game streaks each.\u00a0Acrobat<\/a>\u00a0was the master of Nemelex’ Choice<\/a>, winning 25 choice combos over the tournament. Yermak also took the Combo High Scores<\/a>\u00a0category with 62 points (21 combo high scores, 20 of which were won, 4 species high scores and 3 background high scores), followed by\u00a0aperiodic<\/a>\u00a0with 34 points (17 combo high scores, 6 of which were won, and the Spriggan and Ice Elementalist high scores). It should be no surprise that Yermak continues to top category leaderboards, with the highest score<\/a> of the tournament (56,717,235 points<\/a>); followed by Flugkiller (51,589,384 points<\/a>) and aperiodic<\/a>\u00a0(45,485,504 points<\/a>). I already mentioned Yermak’s turn-count world record; EnegeticOcto<\/a>\u00a0came\u00a0in second place for best turn-count win<\/a>, completing a game in 10,320 turns<\/a>\u00a0itself one of the lowest turn-count runs of all time. p0werm0de<\/a>\u00a0topped\u00a0the fastest real-time win<\/a>\u00a0category with an impressive 24:20 win<\/a>. Our top players were also at the top of the Low XL-win leaderboard<\/a>; shummie at XL 15, Yermak at XL 16, followed by\u00a0EnegeticOcto<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0sentinel<\/a>\u00a0who both posted XL 17 wins. Flugkiller heralded the start of the tournament<\/a> with his first win; the first all-rune win<\/a> came from p0werm0de a mere 40 minutes after that<\/a>. shummie and Flugkiller topped the Ziggurat Dive<\/a>\u00a0leaderboard, followed by ehdcjf2142’s 26 consecutive Ziggurat dive for 3rd place. Finally,\u00a0Ge0ff<\/a>\u00a0and shummie were the only two players to complete all tier 3 banners both finishing the tournament with a perfect Banner Score<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The clan competition was won by\u00a0TeamSplat<\/a>\u00a0(captained by\u00a0mandevil<\/a>) with 7,007 points\u00a0who topped the Piety, Harvesting, Combo High score, and Banner Score categories, as well as had several top players (including shummie). They were followed by\u00a0FSTVLKers<\/a>\u00a0(captained by EnegeticOcto<\/a>) with 6,563 points and\u00a0Stick to Your Gods<\/a>\u00a0(Yermak’s one-player-clan). Overall 142 clans scored points in the tournament (compared to 143 in the 0.24 tournament).<\/p>\n

Several of the clan categories simply gave the clan credit for their best player’s performance in a category, so I won’t recap those. The Piety, Unique Harvesting, Combo High Score, Nemelex’ Choice, and Banner Score categories were scored as a collective effort among clan members. In the Piety<\/a>\u00a0category,\u00a0FSTVLKers<\/a>,\u00a0Make_Beogh_Great_Again<\/a>,\u00a0Stick to Your Gods<\/a>, and\u00a0TeamSplat<\/a>\u00a0all championed and won every god over the tournament.\u00a0TeamSplat<\/a>\u00a0topped the Unique Harvesting<\/a>\u00a0category, followed by\u00a0FSTVLKers<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Gozags Lazy Faire fiscal policy<\/a>. TeamSplat also finished first in Combo High Scores<\/a>, followed by Stick to Your Gods and\u00a0BLACK LIVES MATTER<\/a>. FSTVLKers took the trophy for Nemelex’ Choice<\/a>\u00a0winning 31 Nemelex’ Choice combos between them, followed by Make_Beogh_Great_Again with 27 combos. Finally three clans completed (as a clan effort) all tier 3 banners to tie for first in Banner Score<\/a>: TeamSplat, FSTVLKers, and Gozags Lazy Faire fiscal policy.<\/p>\n

In both the individual and clan categories competition was fierce. Flugkiller came out to an early lead with his first-win points, and throughout most of the tournament held close to Yermak from 2nd place, until being edged out by shummie in the final days of the event. The Clan category followed similarly, with a fierce battle between Flugkiller’ FSTVLKers and mandevil’s TeamSplat (which had shummie as a member).<\/p>\n

Thank you to everyone for playing, for your patience with the delayed start, and for your bug finding in the new tournament pages. I hope you enjoyed the new format, and look forward to reading your commentary in the discussion threads on the tavern<\/a> and reddit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To close out, here are some overall tournament statistics (with the 0.24 numbers in brackets for comparison). 2,947 players started a game and earned a point in some category; of those 2,772 completed a game in a non-boring way. This definition of “player” (players who completed a non-boring game) is used for subsequent calculations and was used for the 0.24 statistics.<\/p>\n
