Also well played by Team10 and all the others teams.
Even though the whole tournament was quite clumsy, I hope that most of you had fun and the inexperienced players could take something with them.
But most importantly, many thanks to Zauberfisch, Quinn and the entire KGL for providing the server, to Lorucas for making the graphics and Soartex for making the map.

Well played to the Team 10.

Anyways, thanks to Posh, and of course all the people that made possible that tournament.

[Tardet]

Huge thanks to Posh for hosting that 2v2. Congratulations to Soartex And DeLaBedoyere for taking the title and Thales and Dokle for being one hell of a consistent duo. Here are a few bits of advice for the next tournament which came across my mind.

Spoiler

- If you actually have the numbers for it (which I believe you did) I would simply accept 10 other teams, make it 8 groups of five, and have two teams qualifying like a regular tournament. Exo and I went through as one of the two 'best' seconds simply because we got two default wins in our group, making our overall round difference better, but not necessarily meaning we were the ones who deserved it the most.

- I don't think it was a major issue, but then again, groups were weirdly seeded. I fully understand the reasoning of needing at least one referee per group, but I do wonder if it wouldn't have been possible to balance the groups a bit more. For instance, Group Stockholm was stacked with nearly five excellent teams, whereas in several other groups, including mine, you could tell who was going to qualify before the tournament even starts. Even while having perfect seeding, you can always end up having one group being seen as the group of death, but in the case of this 2v2, I believe the skill gaps were simply too huge between some groups.

- In the case of the tournament being played in two days, I would have tried to make the best out of it in one day, and if required, let people know in advance that some of the playoffs matches could be played the day after, at a specific time. When you stopped the tournament on the first night, I know some of the teams still in were actually looking forward to continuing playing because it wasn't that late. Even if you feel it's starting to get a bit late, ask the players themselves and see what they are up to. I am pretty sure we could have at least played all the quarter-finals on that night, making it way easier for everyone to organize and play the semi-finals and the finals on the day after.

- I am not sure wherever or not this is true or if one team actually went through with this, but people shouldn't be allowed to change their partner on the second day. Everyone knew it could potentially be on a tournament lasting on two days so if you register and you know you can't necessarily make the full extent of the tournament, then either you let another team get through or you give the default. It might be a bit harsh, but it's only fair for the other teams.

- Its an issue happening in every single tournament following that 'one-night' format, but you should have a rule preventing people to spawn in if they are not playing. If you suffer from hyperactivity, go on the group fighting server and ask your partner, a referee or the host himself to let you know when your match is starting but spawning in and killing each other in a row is super annoying for the teams fighting. Not everyone cares about it but it shouldn't be a big deal to stay in spec and watch other fightings till it's your turn unless you are a 3yo kid.

Don't want to look like I am only complaining, I believe every constructive criticism is good to take in order to improve a potential next edition. I really enjoyed myself, had a hell of a match against Thorvic and Squall in our group and I know Posh put a lot of time into planning this and wanted to make sure he was doing things the right way. This was a good tournament, pretty sure next one will be even better.
