We have teams competing from all over the globe and a majority of them are pro players who play full time. To try and line up everyone's schedule is a little bit difficult but we will try our best to accommodate teams as much as possible. | ||

I'm sorry to hear that, I wasn't personally around for the open brackets due to prior plans for the weekend. We have more than enough interest to fill the last 4 spots but there's always next season! | ||

Is it just based on how 'known' the players are? I only ask because some of those teams I have played multiple times on the ladder and never lost to them t.t | ||

Just because they don't do as well on ladder doesn't mean they aren't contenders when it comes to the Invitational tournament. Few people gave Drewbie and CatZ any credit before season 1 and they ended up taking the tournament without losing a set and only dropping 2 games all tournament... | ||

I don't disagree with how you are going about doing things, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't something I was missing. Honestly if you just invited the top ranked 2v2 teams for Season 1 and didn't invite players who already have a decent/large fanbase then I am sure there would have been only a small fraction of the viewers, which hurts everyone interested in 2v2's. (Basically you guys are awesome) One thing to think about for Season 3 though would be to maybe have two separate Open tournaments 1-2 weeks apart so that more people can compete. Something tells me if all the teams that signed up had actually shown up there would have been 3, Possibly even 4 different teams with invites to Season 2. | ||

I'd have to agree with you, we were very disappointed with the turnout and will be looking to remedy that in the future. We really want to get as many high end teams into the tournament as we can but as just 2 guys putting this whole thing together, some things get delayed or fall through the cracks. | ||

We're still waiting on 100% confirmation for the last 4 but aren't getting the answers very quickly probably because of MLG this coming weekend. Again, as soon as I get a confirmation for a team, they go on the post. We also have teams on a wait list for invites so we always have that to fall back on | ||

in terms of promotion for the event. have u guys considered asking HD for a shoutout/announcement for this tourney? i just know he likes to play 2v2 himself and hand a lot of fun casting the finals of ptsl1 on his yt stream. so if theres a well known dude u could ask for a little support its probably him. at least it wouldnt hurt to ask i guess | ||
