(1/10) Can we have proper respect towards international playerbase in tournament setting please ?
Here's the trouble we're into right now :

Here's the trouble we're into right now :
(2/10) Shadowverse Open Kickoff #1 was intended to start 4.5+ hours ago. It started with a 2:30 delay. Then troubles came in : peoples were getting into multiple issues like being disqualified from start and other problems like that. The Pool 1 even got mostly restarted.
(3/10) After 1:30 of tournament, instead of the 30 minutes indicated in the rules, we finally closed on round 1 pool 2 due to technical difficulties. What happened ? Here is the sole reason : Battlefy wasn't ready for Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond and they swapped to StartGG.
(4/10) Just to make sure you understand the kind of struggles that happened, I myself got moved from Pool 2 to Pool 1 between Round 1 and Round 2. This is the kind of issues we are facing here.
Here's the real questions in my mind though :
Here's the real questions in my mind though :
(5/10)
1) Was the solution tested beforehand ? It definitely feels like there was a lack of testing on that matter.
2) Why not running the safer choice of Battlefy and prefer StartGG despite SV:WB being unsupported ?
3) Why the tournament wasn't postponed with such time loss ?

4) It seems like there's a lack of staff here. It feels like Gelo is nearly carrying the whole tournament alone. Why are things like this in the first place ? How is that normal for 1 person to manage 1k+ players ?

5) This creates another issue : there's is a massive lack of communication and it just hurts even more the whole tournament organization. Why don't we have someone dedicated to communication for the tournament ? Like a Community Manager ?

(8/10) More globally, the fact we moved to Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond could have been a great point towards implementing more of the tournament infrastructure directly into the game.
I think there is trully a missed opportunity here. Maybe in a future update ?

(9/10) Overall, i just feel sad for the competitive scene as a whole, whether side you're on.
But I personally feel even more sad and sorry for newer players.
This was their 1st impression at competitive Shadowverse and it's the worst competitive experience i've never seen.

(10/10) I'll update the thread as we move through the tournament to point things that go hopefully right and things that go wrong.
For now, i'm in 1/1, waiting for Round 3 in Pool 1. Pool 1's Round 2 started an hour ago. At this rate, i'll drop #1 to be able to play #2.

@tsuyuSV @HishiroSV @tsunpanda @ignideus @vayuuu_be @NakaJunichiro @Zhiff_SV @Joyverse @CrisomeSV Just pinging some relevant fellas and peoples to spread this, things can't stay like that.
Update : round 3 in pool 2 happened 10 minutes after i posted this. I faced @MostWeakest, lost as i tried to avoid every lethal possible to stabilize the position throughout the midgame against Aggro Abyss as D-Climb but wasn't able to do so due to two Odins sealing the game. GG!
@MostWeakest In Pool 1 * mb, forgot i moved from Pool 2 to 1... 💀
@MostWeakest New update : a long apology post was shared through announcements.
While i understand the post and why it was done, I just can't accept the apologies. Blaming StartGG on a lot of cases is still trying to avoid the fact further testing should have been done.

@MostWeakest New update : KO#1 will go forward like that, but they're postponing KO#2 with potential rule changes.
Also, they're thinking about doing a make-up tournament for Kickoff #1.
I think this is getting interesting and going in the right way. However i'm afraid of the rule changes.

@MostWeakest Update : i lost to @DPandemonia in a 15-turn, very intense, D-Climb Cocytus mirror. (That turn 12 be damned lmao)
So yeah i ended in 1/3 and dropped from the tournament on that.
GG to all of my opponents and good luck to everyone out there still fighting for that WGP spot !

@MostWeakest @DPandemonia Last update : Just woke up to see that they finished the tournament after... over 11 hours ?! At 8:30 AM in France while it should have started at 7:00 PM yesterday ? (but in reality started at 9:20 PM)
Is that the Pandemonium Warden of tournaments ?
