I signed up, checked in on time, and have been waiting in front of Playhem chat, trying to contact an admin for two hours. Is this a joke?..... | ||

You tell him "Thanks for this nice tournament, sorry I bm'ed you on the forums trying to find this answer! GL on your tournament!" And there ya go, your out of the tournament this one guy is trying his best to help create. If you havn't checked your email, lately, neebsaga at playhem.com Thats his email. I think this sort of thing should be expected from Desrow after in one new casters thread of a review on his casting he replied simply with- "get a new hobby the market is over saturated." Ironic when he himself is an average player amongst people who stomp him in tournaments on a regular basis... | ||

If you play starcraft 2 because you plan on making money and having an income from sc2, ur in the wrong business. Sorry if you got butt hurt because I was being honest to some guy who was ready to throw his life away in hope of making money with starcraft 2 | ||

First off I'd like to offer my sincerest apologies for what happened tonight. This tournament was in fact to be used as a test of our mass bracket system and server capacity but if I had the slightest hint that the traffic we received would be enough to take down the server and prevent the tournament from continuing, we would not have held the event right now. We received about 20 times the traffic we had anticipated and it was obviously too much for our current servers to handle. I think the only logical option at this point is to reschedule the event. Our development team has been trying to identify and fix everything that went wrong tonight and will continue to do so until we can ensure that this never happens again. Right now we're unable to confidently schedule a date for the tournament to take place on but we should have a much better idea by tomorrow morning. Once again I do apologize for the inconvenience and terrible experience everyone went through tonight. We should have much more information in the morning. TLDR: Tournament is being rescheduled, we'll send out another email/post when we have a date set. Ryan "NeebSAGA.240" Belkin Playhem Community Manager | ||

this is worse than when ign tried to partner w/ z33k lol. i don't think people understand that when you have big tournaments that attract pro players lower level players join them just so they can get stomped by pro players because they think it is "cool" which i mean is a cool experience but nonetheless how the tournament is ran is dumb. i don't understand why people host an event they can't support, plan for the worst(2x the number of people will signup)--hope for the best(w/e you want to put here). | ||

It'd be nice to know that those of us who actually stuck around to play our matches will be rewarded. Discounting tonight's games would be a disservice to us. | ||

It doesnt sound logical to keep the tournament closed / hope everyone rejoins this tournament at a later date. Maybe they will give you some points, but that is about all i could see them doing. | ||
