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.

      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.

      For some reason GW doesn't want to let go these rules from the 80s. I always tell people the first thing 40k needs is to move away from d6 to d10 at least, but d12 preferably. There are so many armies now that we need more granularity.
      I love 40k... the lore, the models, even the game but every edition that doesn't completely overhaul the gameplay is a waste.

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.

    seeing this late but I feel like a decent amount of useful context has been removed here for me to actually make a judgement.
    The first thing where they say "oh i havent deployed anything yet..." seems fine, like I could see myself saying that to make sure they don't get mislead.
    The squabble over the flyer and whether or not it was already deployed is hard for me to judge. The context of it being placed down is removed, so I actually have no idea if that was clearly deployed, was clearly just sitting there to be moved later or if it was just an honest mistake.
    Checking how the infantry is moving seems fine, it just seems like they're tired and awkward. If i had some other important context I might view that interaction differently.
    The flyer moving thing seems weird, I don't really remember how those rules worked but it seems fine to try to make sure it's moving correctly in a tournament if you did think there was a mistake
    The dice that's a 5 being said to be a 4 seems pretty sus, I'd be a bit miffed too if someone took away a potential wound from me. Like it could be an honest mistake. And if i knew how the context to the squabble over the flyer being deployed or not earlier then I'd potentially much more hard set on thinking this guys a scummy player. This encounter is like the most salty any of them got.
    The thing about him saying "good game, well not really" I can totally understand when he clarifies afterwards that the game balance feels wack and only turn 1 matters. If that's not actually how 9th played and he's pulling that out of his ass then fair enough, he's being super salty there, but i dont remember enough of 9th to say otherwise. Saying in the description that "both players demonstrated some extreme salt" feels weird when these guys didn't seem super salty much at all in these clips
