MLG Anaheim's Hype Tournament Moments - Discussion Thread

Okay I've been at work for the exact hours of the streamed tournament both days. The only match I'll get to see today is the ones on Right now Noobde vs Kitana Prime. Btw good stuff from them. But what's been so bad about the tournament so far? I've just seen "Its bad" "its trash" "I only watched my favorite players to go through this BULLSHIT"... or news flash. Does it have to do anything with right in the middle/after a match they go into this "Musical break sequence" or is there a lot of shit I missed?

Gotta love missing half the matches thanks to simultaneous runnings. Ironic they love to make us wait through hours of breaks, but love to burn through the matches. Dipshits, I swear.

What's going on is that Day 1, there were hour long delays which are included but not limited to: Unpatched Systems, Internet Service Shutting Down, Fire Alarm.

Bracketology screwed some people over, such as the KH guys fighting on the same side of the bracket. Essentially causing them to fight at least one of their training partners within the First 3 Rounds of the tournament.

And finally, the commercial breaks that have some undefined amount of length, more than 5 minutes at times. Sometimes even after a single set lasting less than 5 minutes.

-------------------
Here comes the drama, unrelated to the delays, or related your call.
Floe and Chris G were on stream at some point, making jokes, it might be on Youtube so I'll link you, so you can be the judge of whether or not the jokes were appropriate.
They were also allowed to hang out in some sort of restricted area, while most of the other participants were not allowed in it.
16 Bit called them out on it, and Floe and Chris G left the area. Which made them pretty angry.

Honestly this is as neutral as I could get.

This is what I have seen myself, if anyone else wants to add, I hope they do.
