Hey Guys,
I'm probably jumping the gun replying a little early, but hopefully it should help for everyone who replies. I was the competitions person for this event. I want to firstly apologise to those who were frustrated by the competition delays and missed announcements. As someone pointed out, I haven't seen power issues in quite a long period of time, so it was a first for me as competitions to have to pull out my "incase we have no power" instruction sheet to keep things in tact.
So I'm really sorry to everyone for the delays we experienced. Normally I'm pretty tight when it comes to pushing people into servers, but I have to be fair especially when power is lost. It sucked, I know I speak for the competitions group when we heard players dropped out mid round that it sucks! Regarding the CS:GG tournament, unfortunately that got knocked to early in the morning due to us needing to catch up on the bigger games. Because some of those gamers wanted to jump into a regular "lets just go crazy" game and have some fun. So there is some scheduling that'll need a big tweaking to get around.
Never the less, competitions is only going to get bigger, better and much more strict around times and other things. There is also some other great things in the works for you guys from the competitions team. So stick with us, we know v28 had some rocky starts to games and what not, but you'll agree, Respawn always takes the bad and makes it glowingly awesome!
If you've got thoughts on competitions, something I missed, something I can do better. Feel free to let me know here publicly or PM me. You can even PM/email the core team and share it with them so it gets noticed! I love feedback, I thrive on it, and I can't make things better if nobody says "Hey Jeffy, you noob you cross scheduled DOTA and LEAGUE together" (for example).
Cheers
Jeffy - Competitions Ringmaster
