Thanks for great matches everyone, and thanks epsy for organizing this! (Awesome brackets. Looks sweet with the scores on there)
Been wanting to get to tst/wst final for so long the way there was intense, difficult and a lot of fun.

Thx FoFo for being a great teammate

Thanks so much to epsy for hosting this, everything ran very smoothly.

Any chance we could see gridstats from the tst matches? Just thought of it. but most if not all of you server owners have the logs needed right?

poke you're freaken crazy Oo

[PokeMaster]

noway lacka, was totally you.

Anyway, gms to everybody and thanks to epsy for hosting! I only have 3 (somewhat minor) complaints/suggestions, so that the tsts in the future can be even cooler.

1) More admins. Epsy is human, and thus can't do a million things at once. Plus I know z-man was available and I would be surprised if animuson wouldn't have been willing to admin.
2) Better server choice and quality. I know MBX just starting having problems the day before or so, so that wasn't really predictable, but it would have been nice to have a backup for such a poor server. Despite the fact that we only had 4 people playing it, I would barely have called that a tst, more of cross your fingers and hope for the best. Also, though animuson's server was great for me, it's pretty out of the way for Europeans. Should probably stick to east coast servers where possible.
3) More competitors! Kind of sucked that the brackets didn't fill up completely, so get on that everybody!

Thanks again to everybody who had a hand in making this tournament happen!

First of all, congratulations to you and lacka! Secondly I'd like to point out that atleast for me CT USA was far worse than ani's server although my ping was like 80 lower. But I guess rating the servers is quite hard anyway, since I got disconnected 8-10 times during the semi-finals

P.S. I was ai and vov was vov

Had I looked into the rincluded config files, I'd have seen that I had admin rights, just not under my plain GID. Or I could have asked earlier. So, kind of my bad. Though, due to that baby stuff, I'm not the best first choice for emergency calls anyway.

I usually admin but I had to work Sunday.

Buy a nice expensive server and reply back.

3) More competitors! Kind of sucked that the brackets didn't fill up completely, so get on that everybody!

Have children and teach them how to play!
