It make more sense to have seeds 1-4 by playing out WF & LSF, Its what? 30mins more?

How many pools are there? So perhaps 2 hours more tops?

From what I understand regarding how the bracket pools wrap up seeding, it's only going to be that way for the pools, and even if it isn't, don't get your panties in a bunch right away.

I'm sure Strife has got this **** together.

On a side note, I'm extremely anxious to see pools. Could we possibly get an idea of when they'll be up, please? :3

no streams other then the official ones will be streaming at apex.
Hah thats what I thought but I wasn't sure.

Since that is the case can you guys not stream non-smash games in order to get some of the hype 64 matchups in the semi finals and stuff?

Also is PM getting streamed?

Hey I'm not sure if there's a transportaion thread, but a smasher from NM will be arriving at EWR around 9 pm Thursday night. I was wondering if there were going to be any other smashers arriving around that time that he could get a ride with back to the hotels (he would be willing to pitch in for gas of course).

Is there any information on how to get from Newark Airport to New Brunswick using public transit or without breaking the bank in general? More specifically the Howard Johnson Express Inn, but even getting to the venue or general vicinity would be nice.

It's godlike how Brawl has no definite favorite to win the tournament, makes stuff way more hype and unpredictable.

What is the reasoning for the alternative method of pools? Advantages?
Better time management mainly. There are likely other advantages but it is the only one that stands out in my mind.

How will the bracket reset work with the Apex seeding points? When you reset it, are 1st and 2nd seeds (Nairo and Ally, or M2K and Peepee) guaranteed to be on opposite sides of the bracket, assuming they don't lose? Will the 16th seed be playing the 1st seed the round before WQF (as is typical)? In other words, do the Apex seeding points predetermine large portions of the bracket (as I expected them to), or are seeded players still going to get floated around a lot?
That's actually not completely decided yet. Will be talking to other TOs about this tomorrow.

Seconded.

And even if NA or Japan was the favourite that still doesn't answer WHO in NA or Japan. There are so many players that could take this not even including wildcards or players that are slept on/are being forgotten.

Just look at the top 12 thread. Everyone's predictions are different.

Before last Apex people at least agreed that Nietono was going to either take the tournament or become very close to doing so. Here it's pretty much up for grabs entirely. There's no definite player people seem to be agreeing on, just maybe a few that people agree will at least place high.

Take the New Jersey Transit: http://www.njtransit.comhttp://www....ervlet.srv?hdnPageAction=AirportConnectionsTo

You can take it from Newark Airport to the New Brunswick stop which is a couple of minutes walking distance from the venue and Hyatt Hotel.

It's $12-$13 for one way.

^ That video just made me really hyped over a game that I don't play at a tournament that I'm not even attending.
Well done!
