Disappointing Bingo Day Three Highlighted By Blanxz Upset of Bushy via Top Row Bingo

 

After a disappointing opening round loss to rising star Adef, Blanxz proved he will be a serious competitor this season by handing Bushy his first loss after Bushy's league leading 2-0 start to Season Four.

Blankxz, pictured here with CBD to his right, set up a bingo and then sat on the final square, understanding Bushy had advantage on a critical Painting Rewards square.  But eventually Bushy sat on that advantage too long, and Blanxz got his first victory, paced by near hitless kills of Messmer and Gaius (to get his pants from his wife).

Bushy seemed overtired by the long day and failed to execute near the end with a key death to Chief Bloodfiend.

The rest of Day Three was marred by technical problems and uneven matchups.  The planned color commentator for the first match never appeared, and the first match with vswed repeatedly falling into Church District water, barely able to complete a square, was almost unwatchable.  

Although the matchup between CBD and GrandPooBear was no more competitive, the caliber of play for both was above the previous match.  CBD easily put down GrandPooBear to go to 2-0.

Elden Ring Bingo Weekly Season Four Day Three Preview

Today's matches:

Vswed v. Bushy, 1:00 p.m. ET: Bushy is now one of the clear favorites and vswed has yet to find his groove in Bingo competition.  I expect a close match with Bushy outdistancing vswed in the late game.  Pick: Bushy

GrandPooBear v. itzCBD, 3:15 p.m. ET: The second matchup today is unlikely to be the most one-sided matchup of the season, but it might be close.  GrandPooBear could struggle to get a single win in Season Four.  Pick: CBD

Blanxz v. Bushy, 5:30 p.m. ET: Bushy is back for a second match of the day, as he is not available next weekend and had to double up today.  Blanxz really needs this one after his Scadutree Avatar incident on 10/5.  Don't look now, but I'm picking the upset.  Pick: Blanxz

Bingo Veteran itzCBD Bingos Newcomer Vswed in Shortest Week One Bingo Brawlers Season Four Match

 

ItzCBD ("CBD") scored a convincing Week One bingo victory in his Saturday opening match against late-add vswed.  

In practice matches, vswed was consistently losing against NPT, Aggy, and CBD, and the real thing was no different.  Vswed has stellar execution and a good understanding of strategy, but is overmatched against some objectives.

CBD, who also hosts This Week in Bingo on his twitch stream after the day's matches, looked formidable.  His background in Elden Ring is as a no-hit runner, and where he showed indecisiveness in his Season Three teamup with LilAggy, none of that was present here.

An efficient kill of Golden Hippo and an early visit to Fort Reprimand set a difficult pace for vswed to follow.  Adding to CBD's advantage was a strategy of taking quick early squares that vswed usually relies on to stay close in the first hour of a game.

CBD is likely to soar to 2-0 and first place in the standings after he faces GrandPooBear today.
