Apex 2015 is right around the corner! Held from 1/31-2/1 at the Clarion Hotel in Secaucus, NJ Garden State Convention Center in Somerset, NJ, the tournament boasts the largest number of Melee pre-registrants of all time at a whopping 1038.
* The venue was changed after the fire marshal, after responding to a fire alarm, saw a collapsed parking deck near the hotel and kicked everyone out. Though the tournament was originally going to be cancelled, http://twitch.tv stepped in and secured a new venue! (Here's a PapaPaint video about it.)
There will be no matches today (Friday 1/30).

Mango wasn't seeded directly into the top 48?

Mango only went to one qualifier (BEAST V), where he got 3rd. Even if he had gotten 1st, it wouldn't have been sufficient to qualify.
(actually maybe that SSS where he went Falcon was an Apex qualifier, but he got trunched by MikeHaze)

What is this, a schedule for ants?!

Same size either way.
Edit: anyway, is it me, or is there very, very little time allotted to bracket play? Two hours for what I'm under the impression os a bracket of 48 is... not a whole lot of time. I don't like the idea of having to switch between three different streams and possibly missing matches I want to watch. I realize that the upper brackets would be streamed the next day during the "finals" slot, but I'm assuming they'll be streaming every single series of possibly the top ten or so players, and likely going over-time at that.
I mean, coming from an internet-era seat of privilege, of course. Who wants to wait for VODs amirite?

where'd you get the "two hours for 48 players" thing? I'm pretty sure "Round 2" is top 48 - top 8, and it's 4 hours (and not all streamed)
edit:
huh, I guess you're right
well, they definitely won't stream all of top 48 either way, and if there are 24 stations 2 hours for bo3s is plenty of time (I think? there would be 6 rounds?
(WRx means x players left in winners; LRx means x players left in tournament)
16 people should make bracket in winners, 16 in losers, + 16 seeds
WR32----LR48
WR16----LR40
WR8----LR32
LR24
LR16
LR12
20 minutes / set = 2 hours

ppmd also not seeded directly? looks like he has no points at all
|
Nope, he didn't enter any qualifiers at all.
