To all the players participating for one playing and two sticking around when we had problems with the brackets.
Now to help pX running events in the future which we would love to do can anyone who was involved wether it be playing, organising, streaming or just watching the games can you please post some feedback good or bad along with something you think we should add into our tournaments in the future.
This would help heaps!
1. GET RID OF SHAKURAS
2. In a 1v1 tournament, it is most of the time better to have a starting map for the series, and then allow the loser of the first game to choose the next map they play on, instead of having a set pool. This means that a player won't have to play on 2 maps in a row they don't feel confident on, and instead can pick a map that favours them. This also helps make series closer and more exciting for the audience.
3. If you're admining a tournament, going afk for around 10 minutes is annoying for players having problems, or needing to ask questions. Try not to do this in the future.
Other than that, you did a really good job overall
It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

Cool Tournament, Unlucky with all the trouble with the brackets and stuff.
I agree that Shakuras should go, and that whilst a set map series is good for something like GSL where they prepare for every map, a tournament like this should have losers pick.
Looking forward to any tournaments in the future and glad that I did alright
