What I feared might come to pass has indeed come to pass, but not even close to as bad as I had budgeted for.
There are some players in the tournament so far who have not made contact with either myself, via steam or the forum, or with anyone else in their group or tournament. I can only hope that they haven't been consumed by Kraken. I have placed these absentees in their own groups, and extended the original deadline by 1 week. Players have from now, Wednesday 23/7, until Sunday 3/8 to play their first 3 matches.
For those of you who have played your matches and secured your position in the next round, congratulations and apologies for this.
Consider the downtime between now and then as an opportunity to practice. I'll be in touch with the Group leaders to allocate you your elimination match ups.
