Summer Play Tournament! sponsored by NVIDIA

The top 16 were pretty much determined the first day of group. That is fine, but why make a four day tourney just to see where in the top 16 the teams going for gold will go in ranking? This tourney could of been done in two days. 1st day, top 16. Second day, Play offs. Boosts are not real prizes, they help to earn back some of the credits ppl spend to participate in this tourney so that is helpful- except that the longer it drags on so that only the top 94% will actually get a prize the more it actually costs for people to participate. Everyone else gets a Bill and here, this may help you earn back some of what you spent on this tourney "prize". It would of been helpful for teams going in to know, hey- you do not have a shot at the gold unless you win All your matches the first day. Otherwise it isn't really worth playing after. I guess my disappointment comes in that this was sort of advertised as THE tournament of the month. It was suppose to go on over several days. But practicality wise- this is a two day tourney. Not some big event. Good luck to the teams who actually plan to show up tonight to lose some more credits, and to those top 94% WRers- all your "prizes" are well earned.

First off, if you've lost more than 2 battles up to this point, you're chances of getting into the playoffs are slim.   Next: These credit boosts are nothing more than a participation prize that come with a door to hit you on the way out. Essentially, for the teams & players not entering the playoffs, here is a message WG is giving you: "You spent credits on this tourney, now here's a little something to incent you to play more and work to make up for your loss of credits." If that is not a slap in the face.... I would surely think that at least some credits, consumables and/or premium time could've been thrown into the mix of prizes... and yes, I'm aware that we make XP and credits during these tournies. Sometimes, it's just enough to break even. But if you're constatly firing premium rounds (as most teams should), its not hard to rack up a big re-supply bill after battles.   I'm sure there are many dedicated tourney teams and clans still participating to try to keep these alive thinking they might have some hope (hopefully not a false hope) that they will improve come August. Please do not disappoint, or we may just disappear.   and finally... Should my team face off against WG (unlikely, but could happen)... we might have a little surprise in store.   ~ my 2 cents
