Before this thread actually dies, I'll do this final bump to give my personal thanks, as one of the head organizers, to the following people:
E x e - The guy who took the initiative and kickstarted all the efforts done to have this tournament into fruition. This was one of those tourneys planned in one night, and this person is the reason why we got this thing organized in such short notice. Even though he was unavailable for most of the action, he still tried to keep things in order when me, personally, could not supervise the whole proceeding.
MapleSyrup- - My head assistant. This person kept open communication to the osu! Tournament Staff to get things in this tourney running smoothly, plus he took over my duties whenever I had my own errands (Academics and stuff) in real life. I am not sure on how things would have been without the help of this person. Really deserves his nickname of -ClutchFire-... or might as well say it as ClutchSyrup-
Ainyan Lenfried-Making the mappools for this tournament was a really difficult task, we in the team thought that having selected stuff for one tournament already is enough experience for us to do the selections again... we were wrong, but these two have been pretty much of great help in making the pools as sensible as possible
maybe except for the 4K Grand Finals pool, but that's my personal observation and also putting in effort to make things more interesting this year in comparison to last year's pools. Also, props to Ainyan for actually going outside of her (yes, HER) comfort zone when she was doing her selections as well. And to Lenfried-... stay as our voice of reason in the mappools department please ahahaha.
ggnakacarlz - Given how urgent every single stream day we had, and, admittedly, all of the errors in the stream production. I am personally thankful for having this person stream for this tournament despite all the odds (bad internet, only on a laptop, being unavailable at times), especially when all the other streamers we pulled into the team (I'm giving a shout out to
igamer48 for accepting the job, just really saddened by the fact that the tourney client causes errors on your OBS, would've been fun to have you in the team as well) had their own issues as well.
OsuMe65 - The ultimate graphics specialist of the osu!Philippines Community. This guy has provided all the aesthetics for the tournament, from this forum thread's graphics, to the profile badges, and to the tournament client's credentials. Not to mention that this guy, for some reason is so obsessed on using my real life pictures for graphics that involve me personally.
[______] - I literally have no idea on how to address you on this message. Now, this person has provided what the others in the staff, given the situation, could not, and without this person's help, we would have no idea on who to rush to for the help that this person gave. ありがとうございます
Special Mentions are added for the following people:
And I should not forget to mention these following people for making themselves the Tournament Laboratory Rats:
Raveille - Yes, this guy from the osu! Scorewatch Lounge.
Entozer - I actually doubt whether the 7K Mappool Showcases and the 4K Grand Finals Showcase would actually be possible without this guy being pulled in by the others in the staff.
jakads - Yes, we pulled this guy in to play in a showcase (grats on 30k pp btw)
And to these people who I personally give credit for their support for the tournament behind the scenes:
(I doubt that the others in the staff are even aware of this) Gravey- - The Former Head of Operations from the 2016 Tournament. This guy allowed us to continue with the naming scheme for the tournament, and the concept itself.
Zaphirox - This guy has given his own personal experience in hosting tournaments, and has basically helped in the draft of the tournament rules and regulations.
Now, my congratulations to the following players who fought their way to get in the top 3 of their respective divisions:
