There's a stickied thread with it's own dedicated Schedule link on the right hand side of the page, with reminders being posted regularly, tweets, facebook announcements and plenty of other exposure. The attendance for the other 2 events was fantastic, so I really don't think exposure or time are relevant. I'd say most people just couldn't be bothered because almost all of the Championship Bracket invites are already determined.
People asked me to sign them up at 2AM lastnight and I went out of my way to do so, despite registrations closing several hours earlier. And then those people didn't even show up. This irritates me.
earlier is fine; groups are over in a few hours and people can do shit during the night if they want.
if you hold it in the afternoon you pretty much sack the night. don't forget some online rounds took like 6-7 hours. playing it earlier gives people leeway if shit happens.
It saddens me to know that a lot of people didn't show up cuz i had to do two tests for uni; one at 9 - 11 and then another at 1 - 3 so i couldn't play TT. I would've loved to play Starcraft 2 all day instead.
It will be a very long time until you see a SEA group stacked with tvts ahah. Thanks again for another awesome comp even if it did only take me like 45 mins to play our group dox and norksman!
