The tournament took place on Friday, September 3, with matches scheduled to start at approximately 11am PST (2pm EST/7pm BST).
Due to the nature of the tournament, the games took up most of the day — it was indeed a long one, with six matches being played total.
ZLaner even posted an early version of what the ruleset for the tournament would be, featuring placement multipliers, banned weapons, and specific match rules.
