OMFG I just wrote a page long post and accidentally deleted it. fml
I'll summarise:
*Great tournament, shame I lost cos of tiredness (and a bit of framelag). But some of my wins were surely cos opponent was tired so I can't say it skewed the tournament results too far.
*Big thanks to everyone who helped host and organise the event: Dox, Norksman, Maynarde, Doble, Team managers and players, Vanz, Parker and co., Supporters like Asrath n Drgoose who stayed for finals, TAboys +jimdiddy gettin drunk during the semis and finals was hilarious.
*Even fraglabs bearded support guy was very nice and helpful. Not his fault the laptops were having really bad framerates.
*the Asus pcs had alot of troubles, shame they spent more time maintaining the display pcs then providing any fixes for these ones.
Thanks to yang for sick music. Targa for being cocky enough to motivate SEA players to play better. Glade for showing when he has to dig deep, he can do it.
Ninja for 4-1 his group when no1 thought he was a favourite for even 2nd place. And then after slipping up vs glade to lose 2-1 despite having a clear lead he demolished the lower bracket only to lose to Targa at 1.30am looking extremely exhausted and clearly not playing anything near his standard game. 4th place = no money, and always forgotten. But I have no doubt Ninja would have come top 2 if it the tournament finished earlier in the day when he had energy to keep competing. Bl to SQLNinja baller breakout performance of the tournament.
Vanz etc will surely improve this event next time.
My suggestions:
1) Norksman needs an underling to catch people laddering and wasting time and hurry them up.
2) Teammates forced to play first in group play when possible to avoid thrown matches, this wasn't an issue in this tournament but could be in future.
3) SC2 viewing area like on the 2nd day, set up on the first day, with volume just high enough so the audience can hear it. Makes live spetating experience much nicer.
4) Terrans and protoss train harder and make it out of groups you bastards.
I liked the part with the excuses and saying that ninja would have finished 2nd.
