I just want to say, despite all some of drama caused in this tournament it was still good to watch from an outsider PoV, I watched mainly all the games live and if I didn't I would catch the VoDs. Somethings I'd would like to see different in terms of structure of the tournament is the point system was iffy deducting points for caps against etc. A Game 2 should have been scheduled between Spacebar/CWS has it would have dictated potentially one of teams not landing in 1st. Or since there were no actual rules about what a draw would lead too it's either a W or L therefore it should been a Loss on both teams.
Tournament ofc was rushed maybe some weeks notice and people could of scrummaged up a team and add more teams potentially in the tournament or ones that would have been more reliable ie Best in Show no showing round 1, etc. But any event is good for the bracket and it is hard to run and manage a tournament. A 3rd Place match would be nice as well and do no harm btw.
Also to all the drama regarding CWS playstyle, it's all within T.O.S / not breaking any traditional premade rules. You can't tell a guild not to play a certain way that works for them to help favor yourself. It is like telling Shaq he can't dunk a ball cause no one is tall enough to guard him on your team. Regarding the specific 3 Hour game, I think it's a pride issue also due to the structure of the tournament and the point system. The game had its opportunity, and their coulda been a cap at one point in favor of spacebar and from their morals of players change on both sides for good and bad, and then who knows where the game leads from there. Also, take into consideration the multiple bathroom breaks and dead time in the game helps adds up to those 3 Hours. To think a game again would go that long with 0-0 scoreboard is absurd it only goes that way if you make it that way.
People should be willing to play whenever possible, should be thankful thanks to classic their are multiple teams to fill 10 to play. It has revived twinking.
A suggestion I would do is each leader/team (cws spacebar) do an anonymous vote to see how much of there players are truly down to play and how many refuse. bandwagon effect where maybe a hand select few are against it, and others that want to still play, shouldn't exclude each others guilds from playing cause each other leaders have differences. This is something that CWS did to me with Havoc by not signing up for Mankrik Pugmades for whatever reason, and now Spacebar is doing a Similar thing to CWS.
I hope your guys silly differences doesn't affect Mankrik Pugmades leading forward or the bracket in the general, you guys will eventually have to play each other again at some point as well so best to make up somehow.
