i38 Tournament Fail

Touted as "the first ever tournament for Modern Warfare 2", it was an utter disaster. (Just like how everyone expected it to be)

I quote ATGxGhost from the Infinityward.com forums.

Firstly, just as we managed to get a team sorted after two of our teams got removed due to age restrictions and we had to run around the event getting those members old enough into the same channel on vent so we could take part, then just as we hit the start of our first match, we spent 30 minutes trying to figure out the error about our playlist being either out of date or newer, we then got to enjoy the 5 minute lag everytime we started up the game due to steam friends and xfire not getting along, when we did finally get both teams into the same private match lobby, we spent a further 20 minutes getting the settings right so we could play according the tournament ruleset. When the match finally started it was dominated by noobtubes as we were stuck using default classes incase some people hadnt ranked up at all to unlock different weapons

As you can see, competitive gaming is completely ruined in MW2. Hell, Activision can't even manage a tournament. Informing the participants one week before? Hey! That sounds awfully a lot like what they did to us PC gamers. Another fail for Activision.
