some people are chronic bad decision makers, it not working is a product of them not of it not being a good idea.

Steam Blows.
Plus they released a patch during the tournament.
And Valve didn't give any support.

Screw them.

apparently it was because the tourny was so poorly organized nothing got done. There are a couple more articles on the site from different people.

he did!

...they then proceeded to make Mich and Psicotic1 of TWL pick up the pieces.

The thing was a complete trainwreck overall, and cXg is probably going to go the way of the dinosaurs after this.

The event completely lacked security and any kind of organization whatsoever because the person they had in charge was a complete moron.

Sprint didn't help when they failed to deliver 4 T1 lines, too. Had they done that, Steam wouldn't have been an issue. Instead they delivered 4 ADSL lines.
