Getting the HoF ballot correct has been a fun little challenge. - 2009-2012 MOCS was cut to top 2, but the top 4 earned a top finish. - Figuring out "top 4" in double-elim Arena brackets is a mess. - Oh, I don't have any record anywhere of the 2HG PT.
Someone asked on the other site for a list of everyone who has won a Limited Championship Qualifier. I believe this list is complete as of today (26.07.31).
The Elo project is updated tonight with PTMSH + all five Amsterdam PTQs+LTQs + Brussels LTQ + a 100k event from Australia + 10 of the 19 MOCS Showcases. As always, more soon! Devoting most of my efforts to HOF stats over the next few days.
Never going to miss an opportunity to show off the Savage Punch that @ajolipa.bsky.social painted for my cube.
Tolarian Community College@tolariancommunitycollege.com · last wk.I'm talking a bit about card alters in an upcoming video, so if you'd like to show off a few of your favroite card alters, post 'em here and be sure to tag/credit who altered them! #MAgicTheGathering
Three times now I thought I was ready for a site refresh and then realized there was another event to add (in this case, the Brussels LTQ). Hoping to get this curated today so I can refresh the site tonight. Then back to work on HoF stats.
@rhythmik.bsky.social Hello! Any chance we could talk re: recent MOCS results? DMs are open here / discord: ajlvi would also work.
- Sixteen players have appeared in all twelve PTs. - Eleven of these players have appeared at all three Worlds too. - Five of these players are 12/12 on PT day 2s. - Only two (Javier Dominguez and Eli Kassis) are 15/15 making day 2 when counting worlds. Full data: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
dgoetschel@dgoetschel.bsky.social · 2w ago@ajlvi.bsky.social As we close in on the 4th year of paper PTs being back, I was wondering if you knew / tracked all the players who qualified for every PT from Phyrexia-Jan2027
We refreshed the Elo Project tonight; the next refresh will happen after MC Amsterdam. Shoutout to @pg8.bsky.social for going 15-1 over two LTQs to ascend to #1!
We bought a townhouse and moved in today! (Yes, if we were just a couple weeks faster, we would have avoided the flood.) My desk did not survive the move, so I won't be setting up my desktop for a couple days. Another Elo hiatus ;_;
One box that got wet in the flood held all my NES and N64 games. I'm going to have to clean and test all of them to see whether they still work. Fun stream idea? 🤔
Refresh complete! The site should be up to date including all RCs + LTQs from the previous cycle, as well as SS Chiba and Arena Championship 12. Let me know about corrections!
ajlvi@ajlvi.bsky.social · 2mo agoI should be able to get the Elo Project refreshed tomorrow evening. Thanks for being patient!

WLW WWL LWL to miss day two today. For better or worse I could see myself run hot in my wins and then made game-losingly bad decisions in my losses. So it felt like things lined up for me and I just threw =/
Wow I just realized I think I'm supposed to go Plains, Seam Rip on the play game 1 turn 1 in my last match. Didn't realize that was even a decision. (Didn't matter, but it was a sliver of equity that I think I lost.)
I'll be in DC battling standard this weekend; I'm not going to have the time to get last weekend's RCs on the site until afterwards. Expect a big update next week. This also means I have to skip commentating SS Chiba; it's the first big Japanese event I've missed in 7 years. 😢
Pausing SS London curating for a bit to play some Cursed Words. Any interest in Friday night roguelike Boggle? www.twitch.tv/ajlvi

It's been a couple of PTs since a stats thread, so let's do a little post-PTSOS stats thread!
A long time coming, www.mtgeloproject.net is updated with PTSOS and all five Vegas PTQs/LCQs. These events came from Companion so there was more guesswork than normal in curating. Hit me with corrections please!

I've uploaded our RC Tokyo coverage to YouTube and timestamped the matches in the descriptions. If you didn't stay up until 5am with @jasoniltg.bsky.social and me, we forgive you. But you can watch anyway: Day 1: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORSG... Day 2 and top 8: www.youtube.com/watch?v=npAS...

RC Tokyo Day 1 with Jason Ye (english co-stream)

This is as close to receiving a manila folder in a rainy back alley from a guy in a trenchcoat as you can get as an Elo project manager: I've been very generously given LCQ and PTQ data from Vegas. I'm going to work on curating them in the next 24 hours, then a site refresh.
This weekend on www.twitch.tv/ajlvi, we've got some Standard action from Tokyo! • The day 1 stream starts at 8:30pm Eastern (00:30 UTC). • The day 2 stream starts at 8:00pm Eastern (00:00 UTC). I'll be joined on the mic by @jasoniltg.bsky.social both days. Come hang out with us!
Okay, so: this weekend, Pro Tour. Next weekend, Japan/Korea RC. I am looking for cohosts to provide English commentary with me. If you keep weird hours and enjoy prowess mirrors, please get in touch!
This was fun + I got all the backlog tournaments I wanted to add to the site yesterday, so I'm running back Cursed Words at 7pm eastern tonight. Come hang out!
