According to Ctrl-F, the line:

Simon Belmole (Petting Zoo) lashes Rob Ford (Furry Farm) in the head with his copper scourge, but the attack is deflected by Rob Ford (Furry Farm)'s large copper helm!

So, that advice that my team ignored...

If a fighter is incapacitated, attacks on him will preferentially target the head. If you have a strong helm, even if you go down you'll still tank abuse and potentially tie up an attacker so a teammate can rescue you.

Clearly it did not work in this case, but the theory is sound.

I wouldn't have really expected that outcome based on the equipment, but mostly because seeing a gremlin with 2 shields doesn't fill me with confidence.

e: also the elf didn't pass out, since losing a limb doesn't actually cause pain, as DF is weird like that.

Oh god Antwoman is starting across from Dory. Antwoman doesn't have poo poo that can get through Dory's armor.

I was thinking Antwoman would be against James LargeSausage since he's listed first on the site, but these two fighters are swapped in the macros. Not that Antwoman has anything that could get past James' armor either... Wow my fighter sucks.

This is what happens when you go through five revisions in about six minutes.

I'd be okay with giving five days to a week before starting the playoffs.

Also, I'd like to hold a vote:

:siren: SHOULD THE PLAYOFFS BE SINGLE ELIMINATION OR DOUBLE ELIMINATION? :siren:

Single elimination would require eight matches (four quarterfinals, two semifinals, one final, one 3rd place match).

Double elimination would require 15 or 16 matches if I recall correctly.

I ask this because I kind of feel like a season this long deserves a longer than one-and-done postseason, and I haven't set up the site for other options (such as best 2 of 3) yet.

I'll vote double.
