Many thanks to Chojje for making cp_snakewater – be sure to give your feedback on it here!
“All 32 teams managed to show up for their first match, a first in Monday Night Madness history!” Hahah stop lying. Our Russian enemy didn’t show up and you guys gave high bracket team against us.
No need to be mad, the news-writer didn’t know that one team was switched at the start of the tournament. Fact is that all 32 spots were filled without a default win or drop.
U got to be mad on the internetz!
awesome map, would play again
“All 32 teams managed to show up for their first match”
Shoutout to clanda who I finally managed to contact 2 minutes before 20.00 and who then refused to play on the etf2l server from which tf2tv was going to cast. g fucking g, mates.
Spaik: If i would know beforehand that multiplay had troubles with keeping their servers up that evening, i would have said no too.
Of course I knew about the team change, I remember thinking at the time “what eejit put these guys in the low bracket?”
Allow me to clarify: Of the 36 teams who signed up, we managed to have 32 show up and start their first matches relatively on time, which is unprecedented for a MNM.
The only real issues during the cup were teams submitting results terribly or not at all, and one or two complaints about the low final.
