Intel Masters - Full Report

Posted by Myers at 09:49 24/12/2002.

My full report of the Intel Masters event that took place on Saturday 21st December is now up. Here's a snippet:

Looking at the setup it seemed fairly decent, blocks of six computers always useful if one goes down, however there was no separation between the spectators (people standing around) and the players themselves. You could sit right behind the player talking to him the whole time if you wished. Also fade to black was not on, and you were allowed to talk when you’re dead. This is something they definitely should have sorted before the tournament.

All in all the tournament did not seem to be going too badly, which is what I thought until I spoke to DK. DK is never one to hold back his thoughts on anything... at all... ever. I won't repeat exactly what he said for obvious reasons, but basically when he arrived slightly late that morning they had not even finished setting up the network and were running way behind. The event was being plagued by continuous computer problems and everything was just being delayed further and further.
