We are experiencing some.. interferences by pissed people while we stream and play. That's why you all shall do not open skype, teamspeak, steam or any other 3rd party program that exposes your IP to others in order to avoid getting targetted. Our commentators were also affected, so apologizes for this.
Keep in mind that it is your very own responsibility to keep yourself secure, because we can not help you, if you make yourself a beloved target for scumbags trying to ruin your tournament experience. Don't forget that.
Moreover, pools and schedules were ALWAYS released on Sunday evening or directly after the last match of groupstage took place. It was never different. And as long as the time span is equal for everyone to practise, it's still fair.
Players getting kicked and dropping is the player's fault. Most are having Skype open in background and they target the users directly. The servers are running perfectly fine.
