Okay, we are past the deadline and I see that the game hasn't been played.

Reading all posts I understand there were several occasions the match could have been taken place, but didn't because Rafka rejected waiting for his peak form of the week. This makes me think that he totally misunderstood the purpose of the deadline or at least what I think it is for. So let me try to explain: the time before deadline does not consist of a preparation period and playing period. No, the deadline is merly a tool to avoid the extention of a competition beyod the bearable (timewise), additionally it's something to wake a certain sense of urgency in the players to make them play as soon as possible. If one party thinks otherwise then I have to assume it didn't understand the rules. I repeatedly asked to play all games right away and a week is honestly more than enough time to get it done for players active like this.

Long speech short: I'm not breaking my own rules and don't extend the time for 1/4 finals, thus Dario was advanced to semifinal against Mablak. Hope you guys can play within the next few days.

Okay, I'm back one day earlier than expected.

Hm, Rafka, if you read Dario's posts properly, you'll find out he gave you a hint he won't be available on Saturday.

Okay, deadline for the last quarter final match is set.

As usual I advise chuvash and Kayz to arrange and play their game beforehand.

Rafka, show a sign of your existence.

The description says the cup has been cancelled. And still waiting for approvement? =0

Alright, a deadline for Rafka vs TT and Dario vs pizzasheet is now set. Dario seems vanished and I don't know what the other pair's problem is.

I want all four of you to state what the situation is.

You are wrong on one thing: Koras had a negative karma now he has +1.

We already have three pairs of players in 1/4, good job to those and, please, play further don't wait for the others.

There's none, yet. I'll set one when I think it's necessary. The only couple that worries me at the moment is Dario & pizza.

Round two games can be played already too. (e.g. Mablak vs Warg)

errr, how to close this? 

kalababa was replaced by fantomas now.

Fanto I will play you as soon as I sort out my internet problem.

Unfortunately Gopnick was playing but lagged out and never came back while winning.
Congratulations to Fantomas our new 1/8 finalist.

About 50 minutes left and we've got only 4 participants, if we can't get at least 6 players means this tournament won't be supported by TUS. But that doesn't mean that WCT won't take place, even if only two guys come to Ropers Heaven channal at 17 GMT, one will be awarded a spot in 1/8 finals.

That was quick, how nice. 0=

One of them is just a place holder and is going to get replaced after the tourney. In fact it's kalababa who quickly secured his spot in knock outs but now went on vacation for 2-3 weeks on Sunday. This means the winner has the chance to go to quarterfinals today if he's got the guts to face me after the tournament final.
