I left, I couldn't take it. They expected 50 people. 170 showed! My friends all lost and I just left before I finished my pool, not even the bracket, I got there at like 11am, and left around 9pm. I played really solid, went up against dedede snake and meta knight and gave all really close battles. they had this weird 5min time limit rule that boned me. lower % won.. stupid. Got alot of Yoshi buzz and into talks about how I rep'd him well and he will be climbing that tier, hes too good to stay down.
I feel bad i didnt stay, but it was out of control in there. that place could barely fit 50 people and they managed 170, somewhat... ugh. Glad the game is popular though.
Edit: Seems like it got more out of control when i left, only the top 2 from each pool were going to advance, with 10 people per pool, chances were slim. I will say I wouldnt have made it out of pools under that regard had i stayed. It was supposed to be top 4. Man, that tournament was crazy.
