GST is a complete clusterf*ck almost every time that I've been participating in the tournament. The one time Ph8 hosted the tournament it ran as smooth as silk. Even from the very begining of this GST, the hosting of it was shambolic. Firstly Poppy warps us to the arena about 10 minutes early and tells us to wait there doing absolutely nothing for about 10 minutes till its officially time to start. After we'd won the match Poppy warped us to the winners room or whatever its called, only to find it was off-limits to us. She then tried at least 5 times to warp us there. While it was still off-limits even after I pmed her that it we weren't able to go there, after about 15 minutes of trying it finally allowed us in the room.

In the next round we had a completely incompetent host who's name was Axel or something like that, he spoken really bad broken English (and that's putting it lightly). Before the start of the match I asked for our sub Ph8 to be brought in in place of Fulgore, who was one of our cores. Axel refused to even bring the sub, instead began questioning me as to why he should even warp our sub there and claimed that we weren't allowed to use our sub. After about 10 minutes of this which he claimed to be more like "3 hours", of trying to get this buffoon to let us use our sub, which is completely within the rules of the game. We somehow miraculously convinced him to allow us to use our sub. However his sheer incompetence continued as he couldn't even summon the correct sub. Eventually we just gave up with this guy and used the team we had there. In the third round Poppy to her credit had no trouble warping in our sub Ph8 and didn't argue about it either.

On a better note congrats to both teams that won the tournaments, Alumni in my opinion were favourites to win mixed by a country mile. In iDev I was expecting an Espiritu or Alumni win but it was nice to see an underdog team win one of the tournaments.
