I agree, he is bringing a large amount of people from quite a distance and their main focus will be melee.
That "Schedule" is a general schedule that has been posted since TYM 2, so it's just a general guideline.
My question to you guys is $10 or $5? I know we would get more people to play melee for $5 but not double the amount of people.
$10 melee = higher prize money, tough competition, faster bracket
$5 melee = more players, easier wins, longer bracket.
I'd say there are probably only going to be about 4-5 players for both melee AND Brawl so starting melee early is perfectly fine for me. I'm planning on making 1 TV friendlies after first round of brawl losers bracket. Like last time, I'll most likely start setting up melee around loser's finals of brawl. I will try everything in my power to get melee going ASAP.
Also, you guys should come to panera's tonight.
