Welcome back ESL! Great relaunch cup.. You came back just like you left us.. Maybe we should try again for a less bugged out actual tournament sometime?
I don't know.. I do know that it was almost impossible to actually sign up, there wasn't much of a prize and I don't even know if anyone signed up, the results, the stream or anything else besides being frustrated with not being able to work out how to sign up.
The goal of eSports is to give prizes to the best players, you entice the best players with the best prizes, you get good prizes through sponsorship from generating good exposure. This tournament failed at all of the above.
I'm pretty sure that disappeared into the ether... I tried to get something... even from head office.. but cus it was from ESL Aus... there wasnt really anything that could be done... Was really retarded... I feel bad for everyone involved... I think ESL SEA will be better... the new dude is just getting his feet and he has better support as far as I can tell.

He needs to take a more thought out approach. don't announce a tournament with big bugs to the tournament sign up page. Have an exciting prize, you have to invest something into eSports to make it work, maybe he should try and partner up with Eddie or some of the other tournament organisers and bring them into ESL with their existing tournaments and structure.. etc.
Just think for more than 5 seconds on what to do, rather than just trying to pull things off on the fly.
