as a guy who has experience organising events (google The Great Kick Off) I can feel the pain of the ESOC staff trying to arrange everybody. Events are not America where you can legally say whatever you want: there are some rules to follow and if you can't, you out. As an invitational, players can be selected and removed at any time, although it is bad etiquette to remove them so far in.
Even so, it isn't a big deal to play in this tournament...I can't believe people don't understand that we play this game for FUN not for money or Twitch peen length.
This isn't so people can win for money lol, it is so that they can compete and see where they stand in a tournament full of other great players. It is great Sam and Ryan are back but In my opinion, there are very mixed thoughts on what has happened, and because of this, there should maybe be a poll to allow Goongoon the chance to find another partner, and by doing so opening a new bracket which also allow 2 more. This does nothing but fixes most problems and makes the whole tournament a slight bit more exciting.
What people forget is that we are a community site, it has been built up by some of us, we should be really strong by now as one and making decisions together should be easier than it currently is. It is unfortunate that there are many people who hate, which is understandable but the ones who bring the hate here or start the hate are the ones I am talking about (polls etc). I'm sure Goongoon will be spoken to soon and hopefully he can be added in with another bracket or solved another way.
