And a long, long day. 3 first rounds are bo1, I bet we will be 128 in 1,5h tops. Just due to the numbers, 1+ hour games are inevitable. I think 1½ hours for 3 rounds is very optimistic.

Seems like almost everyone confirms. We will have over 1000 players in this qualifier. Amazing!
|
Wow a thousand players in the first qualifier, this is insane!!! How will they have enough admins to keep things from falling apart?
|
Gogo brackets
|
i guess everybody from diamond upwards that likes to play a cup now and then has signed up :D
i think taketv is going to stream sooner or later. Maybe not the first rounds but later on perhaps.

Sure, but that doesn't help all too much when only a couple of long Bo1s and Bo3s can already delay the whole tournament. Some players will finish their games quickly but that only increases their waiting time in the next rounds.

And it looks like Sasquatch is really trying to qualify on EU, seems strange to lock yourself to EU for the whole year as a decent NA pro, not sure whether that will pay off. I worked too hard to get them in tonight. They better do well! :D keep up the good work, StarVe The good work? I didn't do anything! :D
