I like using the cube. But it is much faster without using it. Maybe we should try one not using the cube, or just using it in the final>

What about those who are not allowed to use the cube? Isn't it that you have to be a gold member or more if you want to use it?

nightking is advanced to next round while racoon and jsludge game will be decided after 1.5 days as it started late. NK finished more than 3 times games within that period compared to ND who was very slow to respond.

@CUBE explaination

apparentely cube slowed down the games and main purpose of this tourney was effecting so we are TESTING this tourney without cube...there is a suggestion of cube after Quarter final..lets see how things shape up

@Rules implementations
I don't know how u guys see things but i am a lot embarrassed after deciding few things,it looks like i am a dictator   which i am not
all players are very good and most of them are my friends so i really hate to exclude any game/player...
just now check ricetta & AJ hv to get 6 recommendations now as they failed to finish their games in T1 and it was written clearly in T1 plenty section. So what should i do?

@mariusadi
as most players are premium members so in cube games they initiate cube games,,anyhow no need to worry we are going WITHOUT cube in 2nd tourney

uahskr sorry..we are going WITHOUT cube as every 2nd game was disturbed in 1st tourney when cube came into play  

but u are still welcome to play and if ur opponent agrees to play with cube host will hv no issue in any round.

...no problem at all. The great thing about these CT's is that everyone has the option to play or not based on their personal preferences. Have a great tourney everyone!

very true we voted for 6 recommends if didnt finish T#1. But this tournament is different without the cube. I dont believe any players will have trouble finishing their matches. So i will vote to let them in.
