Beautiful!

One hell of a size of a field to get through as well, i imagine along with the main event this is the largest number of people to get through for a bracelet.

The biggest field of the year with a bit more than 2,800 players, very nice. I guess it shouldn’t be long, but there will be a year in which the number entrances to some events will be limited, because there is just no logistic plan that should be able to apply to receive that many people in a single event. I’m not talking about hotels and rooms to play, but the event would have to be so segmented that some would start to play an evento n day 1 and other would only start on the week after. If it’s not limited to a certain number of players, it may start loosing its elite characteristics.
