Hey.
So now, my schedule went ka boom.

1. Well, I can't stay up to commentate because of family.
2. Rain has begun to leak into my house, so I need to fix that.
3. I probably can't commentate/referee any match when I'm Hong Kong and camp.

So, I'll sadly say please take off my name. I hope I can try again next year and hope that my schedule is good.
Thank you.

Although I'm excited for this tournament, I feel really bad for the lower seeds. I know the idea is so the matches become really intense toward the end, but I feel that the teams of lower seeds will feel discouraged, and in turn, probably won't want to participate next year in a tournament that seems to be in favor of using the lower seeded teams to keep the top seeded teams alive to battle it out in later matches. There are definitely different ways to set it up so everyone can have an enjoyable first match with a team they have a chance with, not just the mid seeds, and still have top tier's battle it out in the quarter or semifinals. I feel bad for encouraging my friend to join the tournament since right of the bat he'll have to face rrtyui's team.

Of course, it's late to be expressing my opinions, but I just hope it can be different for next year, or at least have a loser's bracket or something.

Milk Style Team vs Kneesocks or Riot - Saturday 12:00. Osu! World Cup Final Poland vs Japan - Saturday 12:00. I'll play 2 matches at the same time. That's nice...

With the skill gap between teams being this wide, blowouts are unavoidable. It's best to have them happen in the early rounds, if there are huge skill gaps between teams in later rounds it might detract from the legitimacy of the tournament. If you look on the bright side, how many other chances will your friend get to play in a match with rrtyui?

We are currently working on a tournament tree which is rather clearer and prettier so I'll delete it as soon as it gets released.
