Glad to hear a “lightning ash: ram of war” in this season’s final match 😂. Perfect way to wrap up the season

Love bingo so much, and love all the competitors. Gino losing to a repost bug after clearly getting the kill on Gurranq first is heartbreaking though, Should have absolutely gone to a game 3.

Ironically Gino has been in exactly this situation before, just reversed, in S1, where he very clearly got the dupe later than Dino, but Dino couldn't find the square on the board fast enough, which allowed Gino (who already had his mouse hovering the square ) to get the mark first. In the previous version of the Bingo Brawlers website, the rules clearly stated that it's not about who completes the square first, but who marks it first after completing it, and it's entirely up to the players to accurately and timely mark completed squares (which incidentally is also also why Bri lost that 30 Int square). The rules are rules, and in most cases exactly as voted by the players themselves, and I'm sure Gino would be the first to say he lost that square in accordance with the rules and fairly, though I'm also sure he has been kicking himself over not doing everything about that fight a second or two faster which could have flipped the square and indeed the match.

Great matches, but the amount of bad luck on one side is just unbelievable.

It kind of left the finale quite disappointing. Especially the second match with that misclick followed by misplays to try to make up for it. I think they still could have strategised to win by not having Bri chase after Cata and just go straight to grapes and then straight to rykard. Or even if Bri had done misbegotten to give Gino time to do incant only, though they didn’t know Cattery were sitting on that for as long as they did. Cattery was just much much better at strategising as a team despite probably having a lower average skill and execution level. I was confused in the 2nd match why Bri was going into remembrances and not Gino. That seemed like a massive thing to prioritise and we know Gino has the best execution out of all contestants. But the failed INT dump being basically a free square and on top of that a free bingo threat, creating multiple threats really was devastating and made the match quite unenjoyable for me. But with the amount of time Bri spent popping into radahns arena and not making progress on non-contested squares probably is what had cost them the match. Not that Bri is to blame as they both agree on the strategies. They really needed either an earlier rykard by bri or a remembrance incant from Gino, or even just to continue on their line but Bri taking misbegotten or something so Gino could finish halligtree sooner and just beat them in a race with the squares they ended up working towards anyways minus the rykard. I was watching Gino’s steam/perspective only and when Bri was setting up to try to do remembrance weapon only I was like “noooo”. It really screwed her up for godskin too, since she didn’t have the death’s poker upgraded. But I was also concerned about Gino taking too long to go to Gurranq. I think he should have sat on the spirit ashes perhaps instead of doing the whole dialogue part

I wouldn’t say bad luck. Of course there were some unlucky moments but Team Cattery played very well. They read the board better and predicted well what BrinoMachino were doing. I watched Catalystz analysis of the game and it is insane how good he is in decision making. He knows when he has most likely the lead and he knows what the opponent most likely goes for a certain square. Like I said it wasn’t bad luck. Team Cattery did just the better decisions when it was important. In the first game they got an advantage and went for some safe squares. And if we look on the second game, catalystz had bad luck because he was longer in the loading screen. Gino played good but if you look on the decision making Team Cattery did way better. Team Cattery deserved the win.

@@nobunagamaximus6875 yeah, cattery are clearly better at strategising and it makes up for them being slightly less skilled than Brinomachino on average. But it was unlucky that Bri missed that Int square. I think she was too stressed to realise she had to unmark it

Watching this season has been an absolutely incredible experience, even for someone like me, who doesn't enjoy "streaming content" and is pretty much an outsider I've watched some season 2 games too, but this 2v2 format really made Bingo Brawlers special. The community bonding has been especially heartwarming to see, in these times when people seem to just hide away from eachother and occupy their own corners of the internet Sincerest gratitude to everyone involved

Man, it's such a bummer that the finals boiled down to one of the best teams of Season 3 having extraordinarily bad luck. I'm hoping that they continue to play 2v2 bingo moving forward, I've always thought they were a great pairing and I don't want to see that magic lost because of one bad game.

I really liked the team aspect of this season and thought the rules were spot-on, the only thing I’d want changed for next season is to add DLC and a bunch of squares in the shadowlands! I was hoping for a 3 game finale but the winning team played really well, totally deserved! That said, I have to give a special shoutout to Bri’s new Omenkiller cheese, such an impressive tech to pull out in the finale for a square that’s probably caused the most deaths in the entire season! A great and close finale overall!

ruined it

In game 1, after getting the first 2 squares, trying to contest Golem was the start of a string of mistakes from Brino. The only 2 remaining quick and easy diagonal squares were Golem and Shades. Even if Gino assumed that he beat Cata on +16, there was no way Pup wasn't contesting one of those 2. Hell, even if Pup did lose the Omenkiller to Bri, she would have still beaten Gino to Golem if she immediately pivoted. And once Gino lost the Hero's Grave race, he knew he was far behind Cata to the next best square, having to Memory of Grace and ride the elevator. And he could infer Cata had +16 as well. From Cata's POV, since he had an upgraded weapon, Apostle was the fastest square, while being in a good position, blocking Brino's row 4 and column 4, which became even more obvious when Bri marked Thop's Key. On top of that, it set up Mimic Tear consumable only by getting the grace next to the Cookbook Merchant, while getting him closer to Capital for Morgott. Additionally, enough time had passed since Gino got +16 that Cata could assume that he lost a race or wasn't going for Apostle. There were still so many rushable squares on board (Margit 6+ Parries, Explosive Physick, Apostle, Rya's Hand, Moon of Nokstella) that it wouldn't make sense for Gino to be prepping all that time. Keep in mind, since Cata knew Gino had +16, the fact that he hadn't marked any fighting square yet at that point solidified the "losing race" hypothesis even further. Common bingo consensus was that the person with a strong weapon should be sweeping the early fights. And then, once Brino lost the Apostle race, trying to contest Moon was once again a mistake since Gino had to quit out twice. Winning Apostle made absolutely sure to Cata that Gino had been losing races, so he had the complete initiative to go for Moon of Nokstella. This play not only gives you a square, but also sets up Glovewort Bell-Bearing [2], and provides an abundance of Smithing Stone [6], which are otherwise hard to get. And this was also why Cata knew Bri wasn't going for Moon, since Gino was the one who had +16 to use the Smithing [6] and he would also be the one to go for Bell-Bearings later since they had to kill the Mountaintops Tree Spirit. Brino knew Cata was going for Moon, they knew they were behind, they even got Bri to rush 30 Arcane to block row 2, yet they still tried to contest it nonetheless. All that is to say, what seemed like "being unlucky" to most viewers, was actually a string of decision mistakes from Brino.

@inferionemperor5219

Ай бұрын

Good analysis. Gino is a very confident player because he knows he's the most skilled player in the game. This allows him to snipe squares from less skilled players even when he's behind. But here he's going against an almost equally strong opponent who has the advantage, and so trying to catch up to him on the same squares was simply a mistake.

@nobunagamaximus6875

Ай бұрын

The decision making from Team Cattery was insane. They deserved the win. Also when you look on the Gurranq fight in the second match. People forget, that Catalystz had also very bad luck by starting 23 seconds later because of the loading screen. This was probably one of the reasons why BrinoMachinos early game was so good. But it´s way more impressive that Catalystz caught up and got the square. Of course there was bad luck with the riposte kill by Gino, but this is part of the game and Team Cattery just did the better decisions. There was way less bad luck than everyone says. Team Cattery played very well. Team BrinoMachino made bad decisions. That’s why Team Cattery won. It is a little bit sad, that many people say bad luck and don’t recognise the great plays Team Cattery (especially Catalystz) did.

The winners are a surprise to be sure. Did not think anyone could pose a challenge to BrinoMachino let alone defeat them.

We couldn’t have asked for more from a final. GGs to all players, Domo and everybody who contributed to the format!

Overall a fantastic season! I hope there will be another. Love the 2v2 format! I feel like it brings a lot more variation and less down time to the games, and the shorter runtimes are great for me. Also the open map was brilliant for more variaty in plays.

So fun to watch. I feel bad for team Brinomachino but congratz to Cata and Pup. If they didn't go for the Rennala play which they said beforehand they wouldn't do they could have gone to a good game 3 lol

Please make the split screen between the four people less interrupted with the bingo screen. I loved how it was just the 4 screens and then a little reminder of the bingo squares now and again instead of all the time ❤ love the show and can’t wait for season 4 ❤

I really enjoyed this season of BB. Great matches and great production. Its to bad that we had a 2nd missclick in the season and it was in the grandfinals but I felt like Cattery played the best anyway. People talk about bad luck, but I honestly think alot of that comes down to skill and mistakes. The Gurranq incident would never have been a thing if Gino didn't make a big mistake on the previous square "Spirit Ash +4" and lost almost 30 seconds. Edit: Also talk about bad luck: In the first match, Cata and Gino starts the match at the same time and there is about a ½ second difference from when the loading is over and they get to play. Where as in the 2nd match they also start exactly the same time, but Cata spends 8-9 seconds longer in the loading screen before being able to play. Good thing he didn't go for Scion like Gino.

The fact that game 1 was close at all is a major testament to blueberry brioche's skill and shows that she absolutely belongs in the upper echelon. She and puppery don't get enough accolades.

So you're getting yourself 1 square, setting up priority on another, while grabbing important upgrades. Moon was the most likely square to happen at that point.

I understand the rule for the 30 Int square in game two but in all honesty I think a 3 second time limit is absolutely ridiculous. Especially with the amount of time it takes to recognize a fault while juggling everything else going on. This is my 2nd video watching and I undestand the need for a rule in place for situations like that but 3 seconds is absolutely crazy to believe that someone can keep up with. 10 seconds seems like a fair amount of time for someone to make the mistake, recognize the mistake while dealing with the actual competition, and then correct said mistake.

I feel sorry for Bri but I think 3 sec rules is right...I totally understand what you say but if this time is long you can utilize this to make opponent waste their runes, like confuse them that int box is already filled so make them use the rune for vigor for example, then you correct it saying "i'm sorry i made mustake". Anybox can change opponent strategy anyway. I know no one does such a shit but it's possible to happen. i think 3 secs is pretty enough to correct it. Just before fill the box you have to be careful. Bri did kinda same mistake in the season 2 too, I think she has to be a bit more careful. I love bri though!

i hope there will be a 1vs1 bingo before the DLC comes out

absolutely tense finals and Parky mocking Domo's pronunciation. Perfection.

Great season, at first I wasn't sure if teams would be as enjoyable as solo matches but in the end I liked this season more than the last one. The open graces which made late game squares possible was a great addition as well. I hope we'll get another team season and it wasn't just a one off, since domo adjusts the format every season.

Huge props to Cattery for the ridiculous amount of grinding they put in towards Bingo, every day the week leading up to finals they were practicing. Very close games and both teams played very well. Hopefully season 4 finals will be just as good!

I believe all three bingo brawlers finals were sweeps (maybe npt got a game off of cata but I dont think so) which kinda shows how skill based this format is, the best players are the best, period

I've watched every season of Bingo so far. Just here to give my opinion on the good and bad of this season. Good Team format is AWESOME 99.9% of the squares are very well thought out, entertaining to watch and cater to different strengths No time limit feels much better, really allows the late game squares to shine I, personally, enjoyed every commentator that was on this season Unlocked graces are AMAZING Screen layout is spot on Bad This episode really showed that there needs to be a change to the Renalla Square (4 diff or 6-7 total?) Any reason squares can't be marked when the enemy reaches 0 hp? (avoids bugs) If chat is off, why not implement a stream delay as well? (eliminates any and all doubts) Yes, rules are rules, BUT rules are meant to dissallow any unfair play to ALLOW a match to be fair and therefore fun and entertaining to watch. There needs to be human discretion applied. Mis-mark rule has to be changed. The last match left a bad taste in my mouth. The Monkey Ballers - Gino Machino match was 100× more exciting to watch. A single, non-gameplay mistake, under high stress, should not pre-determine the outcome of THE FINALS. I think the reason people are feeling so strongly about this is because we all saw the potential for how fun this finals match could have been. I know that none of this is that serious, but I really do think Bingo Brawlers has so much potential. Domo definitely has cought lighning in a bottle with this concept, and 99% of its execution has been FLAWLESS. But, unfortunately, when people are highly emotionally invested like this, it only takes that 1% to spoil it for so many of us, we love Elden Bingo, and we want more people to love it, because then we get more Bingo.

Already watched it on Twitch and it was a Banger! Bingo is some of the BEST Content I have ever watched on any video game. Keep it up Domo, you are literally producing gold here. Some thoughts/feedback going forward: -repeating Squares (After watching all of Season 2 and 3 i gotta say that some squares just feel really repetitive and are not as fun to watch especially when some of them are on the same board; e.g.: kill 8 limgrave bosses, kill 6 caelid bosses, kill 5 bosses with tree in their name, collect 5 staves) -->new areas and new squares (I think there is a lot of potential for new squares that can be both challenging and/or silly - maybe ask the community to submit ideas...?) I would love to see much more Lyendell and mid- to late-game. in particular Farum Azula (I see that this is easier said than done but you guys have proven to be able to elevate Bingus) -I enjoyed both the 1v1 and 2v2 format and I think that both got their pros and cons. -I loved the idea of the unlocked graces - it really elevated bingo and made for faster, arguably better gameplay this one might be controversial: I would love to see a square per game that was never seen before and that the contestants don’t know about and couldn’t properly prepare for - what this means is that this would not only test their ability to route and strategize but also challenge them to come up with ideas and adapt. this could be the center square or maybe some corner square if you don’t want to give it such high value edit: I saw a comment about Streamdelay and I think I agree. The contestants are insanely good at bingo and I believe that they are smart as hell and this would show how impressive their plays really are without any doubt

If you have Refs watching let them 'claim' the squares for thr players. Then players can just play the game and the finals wont be decided by a mouse click on a second console. Fantastic content and concept, teams adds a lot, open map is also great. Look forward to some more 'new' squares and more variety in weapons vs targets. Also need a way to make each player on the team choose different starting class. Variety at the start would increase the madness.

I know it's difficult to hear each other when on a video call but I really would have liked to hear more from blueberrybrioche in the post-match interview. She got cut off a ton and every time I was really wondering when she would get to speak again.

great event overall :-) even though the second match of this Finale was a bit dissapointing

BENGUS WOOO

Spoilers: Literally called this exact outcome after week 1. Brino cruises to finals then loses against a team riding a hot streak because they made an unusual execution error. Cata has the best board reading out of any player and the difference between him and Gino in fighting is nonexistent when he's confident.

I know they deliberated on it and decided to allow it but as a viewer i wish puddle cheese wasnt allowed

Domo - I hate you for both cursing the players and RNG squares And even more for cursing Bri at the Rennala fight Thus I want you to Brawl again. We all would LOVE to see that - and get that Rennala square with her summoning 8 times Especially since you did in fact MISSED on marking TWO squares for over 1 minute in that S1 after match against Gino

The following part talks about the match without naming the teams, so half a spoiler warning: I really liked season 3 and I think the rule set is the best it has ever been, but honstely, I did no like the finally... But not because I dislike the outcome or think it was undeserved or anyones fault, but rather because I feel like too many things fell into place, causing significant bad luck on the loosers side. Both teams are very strong and I enjoy watching them both, but I feel like this match was not decided because one team played so well and outperformed the other, but rather because the loosers got kicked back a few times... Even without the bad luck, the outcome my have been the same and that is not the issue, but considering how much work both teams put in, this was not satisfactory. Its a bit like watching a race, in which both runners show great performance, but suddenly one runner gets hit by a random bird and falls. Its not really anyones fault, but it also not really satisfactory, knowing that both prepared well, just for the race to be decided by something out of anyones control. The following parts contains concrete spoilers: I don't even only mean the misclick. Sure, that was unfortunate, but those are the rules. It was also stuff like the Rennalas summons taking forever or the Gurranq kill being faster by Gino but Cata marking it first (which is totally fine, the rules say the one marking the square first gets it, still its a little unfortunate). And sure, RNG is something that should be part of these games, introducing the necessaty to make risky plays if the situation calls for it, which I think is viable and fun. But honestly, BrinoMachino had so many unfortunate moments that it got frustrating to watch. Cattery is really good, they are great under pressure, and especially Catas strategy play is beyond impressive in many games. But I would have liked those factors to be the (main/only) reasons why they won after an exciting match.... I don't know, both teams are great, both teams played well, both teams would have deserved it, and Cattery did not only win through luck, they also just performed very well, possibly getting the win anyways, but this game sadly left a bitter aftertaste instead of hype.

Re: Rennala, I agree with Domo's take that a few trap squares are good for the game, and I've been saying as well: If a highly skilled player runs into bad luck, people declare RNG. If a lower skilled player runs into bad luck, people say it's a skill issue. The reality is all the players are highly skilled and the difference isn't that all much. But it's a core theory of game development that randomness is what makes games more compelling to play and watch. In addition, the decision to pursue that square is in and of itself a skill choice, knowing that like sleeping golem, the possible time investment is part of the risk.

I felt exactly this. The finals were somehow not very satisfying. RNG is supposed to be a catch-up factor for worse players in a game, not the deciding factor in a match between two extremely competent teams.

About the Rennala square, I think Cata put it quite well: ”when you chose to go for that square, you know what you’re getting yourself into.” It’s your choice and you know it’s rng. Sure, you could be forced into it by the other team, but then you probably should have blocked that bingo before, if you want to avoid that square. Every game has rng. Boss patterns, enemy movements, weapon checks. The finals weren’t decided by rng. It was decided by a combination of skill, board reading, good and bad square choices, missmark, rng and predicting oppents choices. Like most games are, except for the missmark which is unfortunate, but not entirely game deciding.

Regarding the Rennala square again: I hope my original comment was clear, but I'll try to reformulate it a bit. I do agree, some RNG is good (as it potentially increases excitement) and if you go for it, you have to consider the possibility of bad luck. I took that square as an example, but felt like the entire finally just had so many instances of bad luck (execution, RNG and just unlucky snipe's), making me feel like that luck decreased the excitement instead of increasing it, as it often does. Not saying tactical snipes aren't exciting, they very much are, but these were considerably often not strategy but luck (which can be good and fun, just happened to often in this game). A good counterexample is the Monkey Ballers vs Cattery game in the qualifying. First monkey Ballers got really behind, mainly due to the sleeping golem trolling Aggy. But then, due to a combination of insane play and luck, CBD managed ti turn the entire game. That was thrilling to watch. Here it rather felt like: okay, Brino got unlucky, but with good play, they can still turn it around.... Oh no, another instance... Okay now it's clutch, but if... Oh... Another instance of bad luck.... Again, Cattery is really good, didn't play unfairly or anything, and deserves the win. It's just unfortunate, as Brino didn't really deserve the loss. A different finally with the same outcome, a little more even RNG, and more clutch on both sides, instead of a dominating Cattery, would have just been more fun. I've been watching especially Cata for years and do really like his content and know of his tremendous skill, I am not against the result itself. But "the team barely qualified but still made it to the finals and won" could be much cooler. One team fully dominating the other is just not as exciting to watch, especially if that is not due to a fault of the loosing team. If it's due to 9000IQ moves of the winners that's different and Cattery is capable of that, but that was not the case for this game.

@@Jungbeck that Renalla square is badly designed. Many squares have some RNG due to the nature of Elden Ring. That is the only square that has bad RNG due to the nature of randomness. It should not be 4 unique summons, but simply 4 summons.

I would love to see Skumnut come on Bingo Brawlers

Domo with perfect pronunciation of Zweihänder - is he a native speaker?!

Watched this live on Twitch and there were some of the most obnoxious chatters around. It's as if they assumed Brino was the perfect unbeatable bingo team while Cattery was some fodder irrelevant obstacle and not another finalist consisting of last season's champion. The concept of improvement was lost on them. Week 1 Cattery literally had no team practice whatsoever and only managed to secure a second PC hours before the first match started. And then there was all the salt and copium. "Brino only lost cause of bad Renalla RNG!". Brother, the reason the final score was so close was because your opponent let you get those squares. Cata had massive priority on Bell Bearings but he didn't bother going for it. "Gino lost Gurranq due to animation glitch!". Yeah, and Cata lost almost 20 seconds at the start due to his game bugging out. "They only won cause Bri mismarked!". Cata could have held his 4 Remembrances priority to contest Haligtree Medallion instead of killing Astel and clearing Sealed Tunnel. He simply didn't need to. It's the same concept as soccer teams parking the bus with a 1-point lead. It's not that they couldn't score more, it's that they didn't have to. And rules are rules, both teams signed up under the same terms and conditions. Also people attributing Gino getting sniped to luck is just weird. He was way behind on all those squares. How is it unlucky to lose a race to a square you are behind on? It was especially funny when some even suspected Cata of cheating, when Cata WAS THE ONE WHO MADE THE DECISION TO GO FOR THOSE SQUARES FIRST!

Great work cattery! @domo : great season. I thought the two people idea was going to be a backwards step - i was wrong.

so game 1 was decided by rennala summons rng and game 2 was decided by a wrong mark.... Yeah idk how you can watch that and not say it's incredibly unsatisfying im sorry

Honestly, what a lackluster win 😔 Game 1 decided by pure Rennala RNG and game 2 decided by a single misclick. This wasn't Cattery winning, it was just BrinoMachino losing. Super sad to see. And I'm really curious why Domo is so proud about keeping in that Rennala RNG square. Having a game decided by RNG is a complete waste. Watching this series was the first time in my life that I could understand where sports fans are coming from, but try to imagine if a sport put half a team in a box and made them roll dice to get out.

Amazing Season and Great Final GG to Team Cattery. You played amazing. The win is well deserved. It’s kinda sad, that so many people say that Team BrinoMachino was just unlucky. Team Cattery played very well and they improved over the rounds. They didn’t win because of luck but because they made the strategical better decisions, had the better Bord reading and predicted better what the other team was going for. There were some really good plays like the Mohg and Fias Champion into Capital play in Match 1. It is sad that now one talks about this. Instead many people are disappointed that GinoMachino lost and talks about their mistakes. You can’t say that BrinoMachino would have won if they got the 30 Int square. You can’t just flip a square. The decision making by both teams would be different. But from what we saw in Match 1 Team Cattery would have most likely won anyways. Also many people aren’t talking about the Catas loading screen in the beginning of Match 2. Massive Respect for Catas Bord Reading. I think no one reaches him in this. I really liked this Season. The 2v2 Format was great and most matches were close. It was cool to see how every team uses the strength of the team members. Like Gino or CBD who used their strength in the execution and went for the most insane kills, while their team mates used their board knowledge to plan the next moves. This format gave the opportunities for more insane plays like early Malenia and made it possible that we see Mohg fights. The matches were all really amazing. Because of the 2v2 there were many snipes, what made the matches exciting. The teams were all pretty good. I think even Team Zoom had the chance to get into the Top 3. I hope we will see this format again. It was fun to watch and there were many close matches. It is just sad how the people reacted on the result of the final. Btw Rennala square should stay. It is RNG yes but most squares are RNG. And if people don’t like RNG squares then they can force their opponents to do the square. Mohg as example can also be RNG. When two players race Mohg the player who gets the Blood Rain more often will lose. People are just mad because Bri lost a lot of time on Rennala. When other people lost time on Rennala no one was angry.

The Mismark - It's not the first time someone mismarks a square, it won't be the last. (already happened this season) All bingo players are aware and in fact they were the ones who voted for that 3s rule. Rennala Square - Very well-known square amongst all bingo players, takes the bait who wants to, goes for it who absolutely has to. When Does a Boss Die? - Bosses, in Souls games, die when the player receives the souls / runes. It was always like this on all FromSoftware games, from Demon's Souls to Elden Ring and all the others in between, for all that matters. Everyone knows about it, you just can't warp or quit out before the boss's runes appear on your screen, if you do that the boss remains alive... go talk to Miyazaki if you don’t like it. (It's not the first time this happens, either... it won't be the last) "My favorite team didn't win, so ban this rule, erase this square... I'm mad" - It's just so disappointing to read comments like this. If you have this attitude, sorry, but you just don't know what you're talking about, and I'm not blaming a specific fanbase because if it were the other way around, people would right now be complaining about the extra 18s of loading time that Cata's game took at the start of the second match. Just a shame because, the team that won put in so much work, and they were so happy with what they had achieved... but that spotlight is now being out shined by silly people that doesn't know how to enjoy something without being completely unfair, hope it makes you feel better because you're hurting someone for absolutely no reason. Thank you Domo and thank you to everyone who commented and organized this event, super fun tournament to watch, can't wait for Season 4.

beautiful season. beautiful final. beautiful commentaring

+1 for changing the misclick penalty to a timed block, not a forever block. That way the offending team is still penalized for mis-clicking, and the other team then gets a huge priority to get that square uncontested, but the other team still has to devote the time to getting it and doesn't get it automatically. If one team only needs 12 squares to win that's a huge imbalance

Consider that in a "square for square" (Domo's words) close match, the misclick will always decide it

@Jungbeck

But why? The rule is there for a reason and a missmark is no ones fault but the person who does the missmark. Consider a scenario where two players are racing for fias champs, both are in the fight, both have horrible damage and the fight takes forever. The boss has 10% health left and one team missmark the square. The other team quits out and have now lost an insane amount of time. Or a scenario where both teams are going for 30 int. One team missmarks and the other player dumbs all the levels into Vigor instead because they thought they lost the square. Now you have to get an insane amount of runes to get to 30 int, since your level is that much higher. Which could take a looong time, While the team that missmarked could just hold on to the runes until the ”penalty timer” runs out and then dump it into int. Why should the team that doesn’t missmark run the risk of being punnished? It makes no sense. You are responsible for what you mark on the board. The rule was voted for by the players themselves and they all agreed on that rule.
