Not too much to say here, but since Gameriot has been down all day I haven't been able to update consistently.

An inside source, AKA Hafu, was speaking to me earlier about the ridiculousness that is Blizzards tournament so far. Apparently, there were some pretty significant problems. From what she told me, the food is nice (in other words Blizzard is paying for most of it) as are the hotel rooms, but after getting to the tournament and sitting idle for 5 hours for Blizzard to remedy their technical issues, it went from good to bad fast.

Apparently Hafu and co were up against got game at 11 am, and after sitting for two hours to play, the queue master wasn't functioning whatsoever. Two hours later Blizzard is like "OKAY we're ready!" and then they quickly found out the hard way that a 550 ping is not exactly acceptable for tournament play. Who knows if the teams just stuck with it and ended up having to play through it, or they fixed it, but as it stands now,

Hoodyrich's team is out, duelists is out, shadowplay is out, and the remaining teams are Hafu's, Spoh's, and Wojo's team - 2 WLD and 1 RLD in the finals.

I'll update accordingly when I can and expect a regular article from someone later tonight.
