It's better to do this on mother's day than on a weekday as people have work/school/real lives during the week. There really is no choice but to do it tomorrow so I don't see what all the complaints are about. I don't think IGN can push each qualifier back a week since they probably have some sort of schedule they are running on for the main tournament.

It's not like tomorrow is the only qualifier. There are still 3 more chances. No one likes the situation but there isn't really much of a choice.

No offense, but if you made plans for tomorrow you clearly had no intention of advancing in the tournament far enough to quality anyway, so you have little right to be complaining and should simply submit your forfeiture. Anyone serious about making the top 8 in this thing blocked out the two days necessary to do so.

agree but people will always find things to complain about, thats the internet

Even if you completed like 2 or 3 rounds (and most people have) you would of only had 1-2 more rounds until you would have stopped to play until tomorrow anyway.

So what would they have done if they won another round or two? complain that its a two day tournament the next day?

Give me a break...

A lot of people are done through round 3 or 4 anyways, so we don't have all that much catchup to do, and if we end up starting to run late we'll run the rest of the matches at some point during the week. Maybe ro8 and beyond or something similar, only if we start to run significantly late in the day.

If your opponent agrees, you can play now.

The bracket server is back up and approaching stability if you can report your results that you were waiting on that would be appreciated!

Thanks for being patient guys.

A problem occurred with the load balancer early on in the tournament, resulting in fewer servers being available in the fleet. This, combined with a configuration problem on the master database server, resulted in significant slowness, specifically for match reporting. We had finished our migration to new servers last night and sadly did not pick this up in our testing.

The problems are now fixed, and we will be monitoring the server closely tomorrow.

z33k remains committed to building a reliable sc2 tournament platform, and in the coming weeks we will be doing a number of development projects to drastically improve performance. I understand it can be frustrating, but if you feel strongly about it, consider helping us out by showing support in any way you can. Thanks!

Also guys, a lot of people ended up just figuring out who they were going to play next and played them. The bracket is not exactly where I wanted it after night one, but it's relatively close to our stopping point anyways, so our goal for tomorrow is a smooth, easy finish for this bracket. A lot of us, including me, have mothers hoping for a phone call or visit, so I get that. Thanks for your patience today!
