this is gonna be siiiiiiiick again! my eyes bulged when i saw f91, especially pumped to see his play.

suggestion: tlpd-ize the names in the invite list in case people don't remember some of the past accomplishments of players

question: what will the url to the bracket be?

If only we had the benefit of hindsight... I seriously can't believe we didn't realise when coming up with the name.

deL! Thanks for dropping by the stream last night. Had a lot of fun casting Sheth!

Good Luck with the tourney! I'm sure it will be a huge success. Much love

Nice! Cool to see another one of these so quickly. I love the great mix of players you get. Hopefully there won't be as many no-shows this time, but I'm sure it's tough trying to run a tournament with players in so many different parts of the world.

Nice map pool as well! I am very happy to see no Scrap Station and it will be interesting to see Typhon Peaks in competitive play. WIll you consider using the MLG version of Metalopolis that removes the possibility of close by ground positions?

Also, I like your threads, very nice looking and organized

I am sure it will be just as if not more sexually charged as last time.

FXO definitely becoming a very prestigious tournament! It'll be 1000x harder for foreigners once the prime team manager doesn't mix up AM/PM

So you're saying chances for foreigners are still pretty good?

We always love additional language streams but it's really getting quite crowded and we don't want the spectacle to suffer due to lag or overcrowding. Will get back to you if thoughts change regarding this, though!

F91 FIGHTING! My only complaint about these tournaments is that for the kind of thing this is turning into I wish it weren't an invitational. IMO fully open tournaments with maybe half the spots seeded to previous competitors get to be much more prestigious.

You'll notice they are running some qualifiers for this. I imagine FXO is taking it cautiously on that front simply because open tournaments are harder to organise.

Yeah I'm sure the organization and sponsorship/viewership things are a big part of their decision and that makes sense to me. I just feel like we have a lot of invitationals(which I would normally think of as "special events" that are cool to win but not REALLY the way to prove yourself) and it can perhaps make the scene feel a little claustrophobic or hard to break into. The TL Opens were really amazing though.
