Possibly The Worst Professional Game of Warhammer 40k Ever Recorded

  • This game from the LGT 2021 final between Alex Harrison and Malik Amin-Rubio is possibly the worst professional game I’ve ever seen. It totalled 40 minutes and was over before the end of the first turn. Both players demonstrated some extreme salt, argued over rules and there was even an unfortunate medical emergency mid-game (though they handled that well). Apparently the players weren’t even supposed to be recorded, but the commentators were out or their setup wasn’t working.
    I’m aware the players were stressed and fair enough, but the sportsmanship on display was lacking, especially for a pro tournaments finals.

      No, the result will be that players start "measuring" in weird ways that aren't actually measuring (i.e.) "leaning" on a table with the hand in between something and use that hand as a reference because you know it's length or something weird like that. Pre-measuring is great as it does allow for much more transparency. Believe me, if you declare a move first and then measure and see if you can do it, those guys will be toxic af.
      By the way, 40k is very much positioning. Not on this terrain though, that is hot garbage as it is a desert right in the center.
      Anyways, I'll take the current game over the 7th any time. Invisible bike stars with 2+ rerollable invuln and I think 3+ fnp, no thanks. Free transports for like 15 units, no thanks. Multiple barrage template sniping, nah. It was so much procedure and dice rolling for nothing basically. I'll have (almost) any stratagem there is now.

    I've never really understood playing tabletop games super competitively, because the inherent randomness and unbalance of games like 40K makes them pretty luck based and unfair IMO, and because playing for any other reason than simply having fun (like playing only to win) feels boring and like it would breed this type of behaviour,

    • @heinz8233

      You don't understand? If the ruleset of the game is well made playing competitive is the default way to go. Playing super casual and only for fun, whatever that means, sound really good and peace and love but only works if you play with close friends and even then problems can arise. If the ruleset is tight there is no need to distinguish between casual and competitive, the game just is. The problem is that 40k is not a good ruleset, period. It barely holds up as a casual game among friends, it definitely does not hold up as a game you can play with randos. The problem is not on competitive play in itself, the problem is wanting to be competitive on a bad game that can't handle it

    Example of antiquated design. You can still do "I go you go" in a good way- but lame the first turn and give reaction moves to players. Take SAGA as a good example of a competitive wargame- in most senarios the first player gets only 3 of 8 SAGA dice used to charge activations and abilities, but can manover freely during first turn. Also players can react to attacks by closing ranks to lower their attack but improve armor saves. So things like that will never happen. This is what happens when you only care about releasing units but not improving the ruleset in ways that matter.

      In the first round of the first Magic tournament I ever went to, I drew my first card of the game and another card slid off the top of the deck (it happens sometimes when cards are freshly sleeved and they are still super slippery and not perfectly flattened out yet). It was face down, neither of us knew what the card was and knew it had come from the top of the deck. I quickly put it back on top and figured we would keep playing, but my opponent called a judge. I was given a warning and told if I did anything like that again I would be ejected from the tournament. Lived the rest of the tournament in terror. Those were the days.
