Meh, if it doesn't suit your tournament needs, then just ignore it and don't go, right? XD
I don't think they have all the time in the world for matches, since they havta rent out part of the atlantis (and i'm sure that's plenty expensive) to have it. Plus they are running other tournaments for other games. And it's their choice to do the tournament how they want right?
Well, it's obvious I'm going. Mostly just to be there, see everything, and meet people.
They do have all the time in the world for matches since they are running TWO 32 people tournaments. And the best players from both of those compete later during the night.
They're not renting out part of the Atlantis, they're just using part of the arcade.
Of course they do, I'm just saying..
And here's the info for the tournament for those who are interested:
