Or if you absolutely love mirror matchups at least change the god for every new round.

I am also completely open to suggestions for the next batch of tournaments. As LostScarf also mentioned, I am putting up gems out of my own pocket to help promote the competitive scene. I'm not asking for anything from the players other than to have fun and enjoy their time playing. If you have some better ideas on how to run the tournament though, I am all ears.
