AvastNY is the most feasibly fair server location considering NA gamers on West Coast like decimate and Bdonski had equal or even worse ping than the Euros the last showmatch.

Yea, depends on your routing but I think best case scenario gamers in California will have 80 ping to NY. I generally have 120. It will be interesting to see if fryotech changes classes up a bit, as I imagine b4nny would probably ping ~140-150 to Europe, which would be almost unplayable on soldier.

Minor thing, but why does the banner have scrap.tf while the news post has sweepstakes.tf? Are both of geel's websites supposed to be sponsors?

No, I fucked up the info at the beginning and due to miscommunication from me I assumed it was ScrapTF. Made the image, then moved house and haven't had a chance to change it - changing the wording was much easier. Will fix the image within the next few hours.

EDIT: Done

Can I ask why this is being held on a Saturday? I thought it was in the norm that tf2 games are played on Sunday - Thursday. We will be playing with 2 mercs and missing our carry demo because of this (spudd and alfie). Even though we do have 2 cool mercs, spudd and alfie are 2 core players for us. I'm not complaining and i'm happy that this tournament is happening but I just don't get why its being held on a Saturday where i'm assuming a lot of the other teams as well as us will have players missing. Even I have to cancel plans I had with a girl this Saturday to play in this :/

Ok that last sentence was a lie.

For FROYO the matches are in the middle of the afternoon for them, so the tournament has to be held on the weekend so they can participate. Since it's a two-day tournament, it has to be played Saturday and Sunday.

To summarise day 1:

sideshow woke up about 200 miles from where he lives and had to get a train home
arrived home on time but locked himself out of his house for 2 hours
alle went awol and delayed group 1 by 30 minutes
sideshows fuckery with the groups meant that nerdrage got knocked out by full tilt (although to be fair they should have just got gud and beat them)
kaidus lost and subsequently found a chicken (although it was inaccessible)
ryb went shopping
mike had a pizza in the oven
forsak3n broke his space bar
