    I would like some more info on the venue if possible, I am really interested in going but need to do a bit of cost research first to make sure I can afford it.

    I do have a sneaking suspicion the tickets for this will be quite popular, would it be possible to have a heads up in advance for what date/time the tickets will be available? (when it is known) I was very fortunate with my Onos tier and I wouldnt want to be one of the unlucky ones for this!

    Is it possible, once your team is created, to manage the roster ? Maybe we'll have some new fresh players sooner or later.

    Are the Devs going to keep the game balance the same? ex. not buffing/reducing armor/hp of aliens, marines, structures?

    They're guaranteeing a certain number of spaces for premiere div/div 1 teams, other than that it's probably first come first serve

    Would be nice if someone release a list of signed up teams one day BEFORE the signup closed.
    I didnt receive a confirmation mail and im a bit confused atm.

    I have trouble putting into words just how ridiculous it is that Eissfeldt has been banned from participating in this tournament. There is not a single competitive player that believes that he has ever used a hack in a match. Yes, it was stupid of him to use a hack on his main account to spectate other players for wallhacks, but that is no reason to exclude him from playing in this tournament.

    When I first heard about it, my immediate thought was "oh wow, that was silly of him, how funny". The idea that anyone in the NSWC admin group would be dense enough to punish him for it didn't even cross my mind. I still have trouble believing it actually happened. This goes beyond the rule mongering we saw during the beta, this is just pure incompetence.

    Eissfeldt even suggested that he could stream every match he played in the tournament, which would show without a doubt that he isn't hacking, but that wasn't good enough either. I was really excited about the NSWC -- I was even considering making a comeback before this happened -- but there is no way I am going to support a tournament that is run in this way.

    Unless the situation is rectified immediately, this tournament will live in infamy.

    hehe
