Jacob tired.

Our $700 prize pool was distributed among the top 8, with first place going to EGStrifecro and second going to UT's own Zpux in a very close, very good 3-2 victory.
Hope everyone had fun, a more proffesional follow up post will follow soon. Feel free to leave comments or suggestions here.

Edit: Also, I've started work on a replay pack. Not sure how complete it will be. If you played and didn't send replays, please try to. Thanks ^^

I just got back from the tournament about 20 minutes ago. I had a great time. Everything went really well from a competitor's perspective, which is a great sign considering it was the first tournament and there were 64 people. I want to thank the TesPa organizers and volunteers for putting on such a successful tournament.

I foresee some exciting tournaments in the future. For anyone that missed this first tournament, I highly suggest attending the next one. It's a great experience. You'll meet a lot of really nice people, and you'll get to watch some very exciting and competitive matches.

Really good tournament Tespa did one hell of a job getting everything going, and I'd like to thank the people who let others borrow their computers.

Thanks to everyone on the staff that made the event run well. Can't wait for the next one. I placed 5th and was happy with that. I might cast some of the better games and throw them up on my youtube. www.youtube.com/eonshikeno

I remember hearing something about some replays that weren't casted live would be commentated and uploaded to a youtube channel. What channel is that, and what replays will be commentated?

Had a great time at the tourney though!

I was supposed to be first on the backup list but I didn't get a call to come in.

If you wanted to be a back-up showing up would've been nice. Don't expect them to call you to replace a day-of no-show if you aren't even at the event, especially when there are other people there who wanted to be backups

I appreciate the support ExO (beard fighting!)

Shinta, I thought you had been contacted, apparently you weren't. I apologize for the oversight. We're still somewhat new to this and yesterday was absolutely frantic. As for Tyler, he unfortunately didn't come.

This tournament was amazing! Everything went together very smoothly and without any major problems whatsoever. Thank you again for hosting a very professional tournament and the fact that it was your first time setting up an event of this magnitude leads me to believe that there will be many more of this caliber and better in the future.

Sorry guys I canceled the night before because I got sick and made a last minute decision to skip this tournament. I'll definitely try to make TeSPA's next tournament.

It's okay man, I know you were truly just afraid you might have to fight Zapdos, that's enough to scare off most people ;]

WOULD HAVE BEEN COOL TO MEET YOU THOUGH

Don't blame TeSPA for not signing up and paying when they've had this announced for a month, and don't blame them for not contacting you when you had the choice to show up in case you got to be a back up. They all worked extremely hard and pulled off an amazing tournament. It's your fault don't insult them please.
