Yeah you guys have waited for ages tbh which is pretty ridiculous, s'grand anyway as it's sorted for next time. Annoyingly slow when people will only play weekends and some people wont and so on. Lol at adding somebody and PMing them and them asking you to add them 3 days later, your steam name must be confusing
Apart from that it's been great fun, glad it was organisied thanks! also great to have the casters, adds to it.0 -

i'd agree with Tar on the point that this competition has been great for the experience earned for many involved.
The current delay is unfortunate, but better advertisement of when the next match is going to be played should be provided to us as compensation for waiting!
if i was cherry i would just impose a date by which game must be played, but im not the organizer :P
i do have a more laizzie fair attitude to standins dreddy, from my point of view they offer flexibility that some players dont have, its a tough call for a team captain though.
I think teams should be allowed to present the team they entered with, within reason. After all, standins are just that - stand-ins. It's a system that punishes the less organized/busier teams (rightly so).
In all fairness, I don't see why Dreddy as a captain should feel obligated to accept punishment (forced to play with 2-3 standins) when he contacted Granga immediately and had to wait 6 days for a response - A response which asked us to play with less than 24 hours notice, one day before Christmas week began.
However, I share your view that all the match dates should be set in advance by an admin, with reasonable limitations on rescheduling (e.g. 1 day extension, non-tournament standins etc).
It would be really great to grow the scene here and it would be a shame if silly things like this got in the way in the future.

Also, Cloakie said he'd upload his cast of game2 at some point.
That was some ****ing game. Shame the casters weren't more enthused! 0 -

80 minute games can be pretty hard to cast.
Not sure about that round skip thing, my understanding is you've got to lose twice in double elim to get knocked out. Obviously, that's not feasible in dota though given how long it takes for 2 sets. 1 game advantage is the norm afaik.0 -
