Aftermath

Well after a really late night it’s time to reflect a bid 

The brackets for the tournaments can be found: Here

I will be uploading a replay package soon including but not limited to the 3 games I played in this tournament.

Overall I am both surprised and very pleased with the amount of players both signing up and showing up to the tournament and I really hope we can keep this up, but it does pose some ogistical problems both with concerns to administration and time the tournament started at ~20:00 and ended 01:00 So that’s a 5 Hour long tournament and this is not going to work in the long run, im sure there could be cut down on some of the time if people where a bid more efficient with playing their games but that won’t cut the tournament down by 1 Hour and in my opinion it should be cut to around 2 Hours so ending at around 23:00 at least on a normal workday.

I Would suggest starting the tournament at around 19:30 and make a max number of partisipants of 32 this along with some improvements in the players attitude towards getting the games played would go along way.

Another way to go would be to split the tournament in 2 workdays but that would pose issues with some people not being able to participate on both those exact days this by my experience doesent work.

A final solution could be to make 2 separate tournaments one for gold  plat players and one for cooper  silver either on the same night or 2 different nights. (the split is of cause up for discussion especially as the leagues doesn’t seem to reflect skill correctly at the moment but this will change in the retail version of the game when they are a bid more strict with the AMM searches)

The thing I like about the last idea is that the lower league players can compete a bid more with someone on their own level and get some good games in without being completely slaughtered and discouraged from participating in a later event.

All in all a great tournament and big probs for Fafner for the hard work and for taking the time to host it :-) /cheers
