I already knew who me and sergyou were
Forces me to play at 8 AM on saturday (and then doesnt show up at that time): must be sabusa
My opponent in the first match had poor culv micro: probably voltigeur_
Watching the other first match:
plays japan and export trades: must be floko
Only person playing a ramen civ is prince henry: must be ramen
Only person (other than ramen) playing a daniel civ is chief gall: must be daniel
Process of elimination leaves suleiman as ziv
So basically when the other first match was streamed during the BOOM of the first game I already knew who everyone was. It wasn't obvious for all the viewers (for some viewers it was obvious but there were a lot of wrong guesses), but for most players it was obvious. Therefore I would suggest for future hidden tournaments to not stream matches until all the matches except for the finals are done to retain a sense of mystery for the players in later stages of the bracket.
