Also hats off to Myrm. Undertaking something like this is no easy feat.
To anyone complaining about the tournament most likely has never even come close to running one themselves or even taken the time to figure out how things should/can be run.
Time isn't infinite, delays will happen, deal with it. Sometimes things have to be called to keep the tournament running on time so we aren't playing/watching until 5am the morning after a full day of games has been played. It's to help the spectators AND the players.
Some kids were DDoSing which sucks, but guess what? How long has this tournament been planned for? How is it that DDoS protection and precautions not acted upon until THE SECOND DAY of the tournament? Honestly, its every players responsibility to take the necessary actions to educate themselves to prevent this kind of shit from happening. It falls on the shoulders of every player who didn't take the time to learn and honestly to anyone who didn't, you deserve to have that shit happen to you. It's not like the info is EVERYWHERE on the internet.
Don't blame other people because of your ignorance and inaction, jesus.
