Update:  Admirable is keeping us informed with match results and group by group stats, over at cadred. Make sure to check the community news feed in the right column to keep updated!

And so it begins. Everyone has arrived, sign-ups are closed. It’s time to play some TF2. Or not…

The first games were set to start at 8 PM BST. Right now it is 8 PM, and players are still having problems with logging into steam, and with Clanforge, the tournament registration system. The groups and match servers are nowhere in sight. We have just been told that if things can’t get started in an hour, they won’t start at all. In that case we’ll start Saturday morning, 10 AM sharp. Let’s hope Multiplay and Valve get their stuff up and running again, else we’ll be on a tight schedule tomorrow. (Though not as tight as CSS :) )

On the bright side: Everyone is here, and we’re having fun. The first thought with a lot of people after the announcement of the delays was: “Let’s get wasted!” The athmosphere in here is great, we just need to get the tourney running to make the feast complete.

More updates will come as they’re available.
