Friday October 9 ยท 13 names, 15 customs โ a full twelve-human lobby for 5 of them, bots filling the rest to 6v6
Thirteen names, and Don ran the night off a balancer sheet he built. It is graded the same way as any night this page didn't plan: the model behind the balancer was sitting right there. Everything below is the real record, priced with that model as it stood before the first game. Night 85 of a record that starts 2025-02-09.
Don ran the night off his own sheet, built from the site balancer and changed as people came and went. It is not a sheet this page built, so there are no planned splits below. What there is: the real rosters from the match record, each priced with the model exactly as it stood before the night, and graded honestly against what happened. 5 of the 15 games were a full twelve-human lobby with no bots; in the other 10, bots filled the empty seats to 6v6, as always. 15 customs, 13 names, nobody sat.
