Re: Final knockout round 1: Strategies

Posted my findings on the first day of the First Knockouts.

One player did hex their way, but it wasn't a very severe hex. I can easily catch up to him by tomorrow in case he doesn't foolishly hex himself again!

I also spotted two of the nineteen opponents who have long win streaks of over a hundred. None have streaks over a thousand. The hex0r is not among the nineteen.

Quarterfinals Day 1 progress: Hexed start

G'day

Samaria there to end the first day of the Final Knockouts!

Fortunately, the weird bug that otherwise could've killed my second knockouts did not return!

Preliminaries

I watched Ads Quest as a "pomodoro break" until I have twenty each of the free switches and lollipops. I also have dozens of Colour Bomb boosters, the strongest of the starting boosters.

I had to complete one extra episode (Burger Buffet, E325) so my daily stamps would be aligned in such a way that I will start with the Daily Stamp passes for the final round.

Tournament

After first episode	After two episodes

Started my first sitting at 7:45pm EDT. Like the previous leaderboards, I was placed with other players who started very slightly before me.

I am able to finish second at the end of the day at nine episodes, six golden chocolate boxes, and a single Royale and double colour bomb.

It took me five hours to complete the nine episodes, including break time and satisfying gold box objectives.

Something nobody expected me to do

Likely the only time I will ever purchase extra lives. I made a minor mistake while quickly satisfying a gold box requirement that does not require new levels. My lives received from friends have expired, and I am also under a lollipop hammer pass. I need to respect the clock as well as well as to not multiaccount to benefit my primary. Hence, I did this.
