Team Fortress 2 at V18 Options

[priorax]

Given that last Respawn we had over 10 teams sign up to the Team Fortress 2 competition, but only 5 teams were able to play due to the competition being delayed because of (among other things) Flatout 2 to a timeslot which it is just impractical for a large number of people to awake at, is there any changes being planned to make it more accommodate for players to play a larger tournament?

atm starcraft is the only comp on sunday that is actually played. It is supposed to be a 2 day lan, but no comps are run on day 2 because people whinge and bitch about not getting enough sleep. THEN when deadman does his best to fit the comp in on the saturday because he is pressured so much, you all cry that its at whatever time it is.

honestly if u are unhappy with the time your event is scheduled for, dont play. The lan is for everyone, and doesnt revolve around 1 game specifically. So imo suck it up or gtfo

Settle down there mate...here we are having a perfectly rational discussion about the best time for TF2 to run in the interest of maximizing participation, and you feel the need to come in here and rant about it like we're throwing some kind of tantrum?

I'm simply trying to keep things in a realistic perspective. Games played by sleepy players have a proportional decrease in quality. It's a fact that most people are zonked on Sunday, and TF2 is supposed to be a major competition.

Guys, just remember that Deadman has to carefully balance the needs of the players VS official stuff we run (like AFK and FUN COMPS) plus everything else we do. And it's like walking on a piece of string carrying a jumbo jet on your back. It's not easy. I'm quite sure he knows not everyone will agree with the decisions made but realistically, it's done for the benefit of you the player and the event as a whole. We can't cater to individual players who want to play in every competition because in the time frame we have, its just not feasible. So please bare that in mind.
