I don't have time to watch it but looking at all these dramas, I think you guys are dealing with everything really well.

Hope the event goes well and next time it will run smoothly

Mic clipping kind of sucks. Feel like it's something that should've been tested out beforehand, because it honestly makes it impossible to listen to the cast.

All these organizational issues are killer, too. Iaguz seems to have dropped out because you guys delayed his match and he couldn't stay up any longer? All the replaced players and such; I don't even know who's supposed to be playing in this tournament anymore.

Pretty sure this is because he didn't go to bed the night before. When he left it was like 11 AM in the ROOT house.

Yeah, people in the Root house having scheduling issues because of sleep has already happened before, that is not neccessarily the organizers fault. It is an unfortunate situation for both parties, but delays in esports events are nothing new, so they could have been forseeable. Stuff like that happens, I wouldn't blame anyone for this.

Ya iaguz dropping was too bad. And unfortunate. But we move on. And I agree group A was pretty stacked. We originally decided the groups by a random drawing. And group A was pretty stacked, then players dropping and adding sort of just added to it. Haha, but like we said before; in the future we are planning to give a longer notice and make sure players are confirmed. We had some mis translates and understandings this time around along with a short time period that made it kind of rough. But we are moving onto day 2 and things should hopefully run a bit better and smoother and provide some great games! thank you everyone for your endured support and understanding. It means alot.

Symbol, Bly, and Seed?

The other players will have a hard time going against them. I find it a little weird why they do a tournament with pretty good players, and fill with low tiers.

I mean, they should do these tournaments for all "rising stars" or upcoming talents, that would give the tournament more variety.

Random drawing is a way to do it. Not neccessarily the most usual but still a valid one. Just bad luck then, for QXC and Symbol/MajOr (Wasn't able to watch final match)

That would also reduce the relevancy of winning it. If you just run a tournament with rising stars, their rise will not be supported in any way, since there is noone to raise above. You need a few veterans to measure the "risings stars" progress, otherwise there is no new information about their skill level. If new players can beat Bly, Symbol, Seed and MajOr, that shows their skill level and the progress they made and is an actual achievment, that further improves their status and gains actual momentum. If you only put "rising stars" against other "rising stars" all time, they will remain "rising stars" for ever and not actually become real ones.

TL;DR: "To be the man, you've got to beat the man", so I think, the way NDG is currently doing it is fine.

EDIT: You might want to post the results in this thread, since not every game was streamed and LP is still behind by quite a bit.

Major beat Symbol and Bly qxc. Then Major got taken down by Bly in the winners and decided to leave. Don't know how that will be solved. Casters did not know what happened with the last match in group C and I have no idea about D except for iaguz going to sleep.

Yes, that was my stand of information as well (except MajOr leaving, didn't know about that before. Just walkover I assume), I was mostly talking to the admins, since he knows everything.

Edit: And now someone edited LP wrongly, Bly won the group, not Symbol.

Groups have been made for Day 2:
Group A = Petraeus vs Maker / Symbol vs Guitarcheese
Group B = Seed vs Bly / Treme vs envious

Group B will proceed directly after Group A finishes. Top two places of each group then advance to Final 4

Wait, YELLOW?

This can't be the BW yellow, so who is this player?

Looks like a good event regardless, will be tuning in!

EDIT: Just watched some of the day 1 twitch vod stream, and the audio is really bad. Casters need better mics (my headset doesn't cause mic buzz like there's seems to).

Not my favorite casters in general but it would be tolerable if they had decent sound quality.

The games seem great, I always like watching Qxc, but you need to replace Aldaris.

Are you playing at the same time as the other group, or is there still time to fix this? I mean, it will not change the schedule to fix this issue, since every player is probably planning to the final match, so I hope they still do something about that.

Also, regarding this, both Maker and Symbol tied by default, so we had no definitive winner, and was randomized which played who, just separated. Both Seed and Bly still have chance to advance, as one can lose then win their next two matches.

Rough tournament so far, No Dice, but you learn best through experience! Utilize your dedication to make sure these issues don't happen next time, and maybe try to focus less on the Koreans. Good job handling everything so far. Keep it up

I like to call Petraeus an Aussie just to be cheeky but Tempo was serious about it. Australia and New Zeeland is not the same thing, Tempo
