I think some of the fun was being able to include a lot of players that don't necessarily play the hell out of the game like some of us here at the 'Zone... which means they probably got knocked out early

I think as long as those guys had fun, it's not so bad. The rest of the tournament is down to a lot of people we all already know, and I suppose could be replicated at any Avalon event. It sucks that things died down a lot, but it happened after the largest amount of activity that was ever going to happen - 128 matches, nearly all of them played for round 1 - that's good going.

The PSN outage didn't help things, either.

...And I hate how this feels like I'm writing a post-mortem :S It totally isn't; GO THE REST OF THE TOURNEY, WOO!!! Still lots of good players left, even if it's taking 4+ weeks to get the matches for each round done
