That doesn't change the fact though that DDOS'ing is huge nowadays and tournaments should really be prepared for it. It's unfortunate for the organizers and especially the players, but really, one should be able to expect a premier tournament to be prepared against attacks as they will happen in today's internet society. EDIT: I want to highlight that I feel so sorry for the players. We, as spectators, get this entertainment for free and it's something that we do not pay for. We really can't ask too much from it, however, the players must be feeling awful having to pause and getting lags and so on, delays, playing late, whatnot. I feel really sorry for the players. NorthCon should raise the prizepool or something as compensation T_T | ||

I don't really see her not getting top 4 here, given these circumstances and no edits done to bracket layout. Predictions correct | ||
