RA was planning on playing had the format stayed the same as it's always been. The amount of effort and coordination it takes in this current format is just to much.
Its because ES team almost never host tournament events throughout the year so have no experience in this sort of event.

Any active player could have looked at this format and in 2 seconds they could tell you it would fail. Neko and friends don't deserve any respect for killing the last decent event toribash had. Current staff (neko & co) need to be fired, they are incompetent and this event proves it, toribash been on a massive decline for the past year.
