I think the players seeded should be people who put alot into the community (like Luvnest), not just show up for a tourney then vanish again for months... Cough Aimstrong cough.

Yes, the best way was to check if you are checked in URSELF via de google docs file that was provided. It works great. There is/ was nothing wrong with the check ins.

Maybe referees/ admins can insta ban people from the steam chat next time if they decide not follow the rules (spamming, asking questions etc.). Dont know if this is possible. This would make the check ins a lot easier for everyone.

Say what you want about Quentin, but the dude has got the point.

All players that made it through to the final qualification round, went through several stages of hell. The qualification games become pointless after the third round because the competition is not about skill, tactics and strategy at that point but about pure physical attrition.

The skill differences between invited players and the top qualification players is not that different. Yet half of them never went through attrition battles. Who knows, maybe Jesulin or Aimstrong would have succumbed to fatigue like other top players did.

I applaud Cruzz who rejected the invite and qualified to the finals fair and square. I hope he wins OCF.

The invitational format of the tournament (which happens to be open for everyone) simply does not do justice to the amount of closely skilled talent we are trying to promote.

No one realizes this though because no one spams games like Jove or Paul. Their playstyles are crude compared to masterful players like Aimstrong and DevM, and because of such, their high ranks are a combination of some skill and game spam, as opposed to refined skill.
