Yuna, det kan vara tid för folk från utlandet att börja beställa flygbiljetter ganska snart.

Yuna hasn't even been on for the past 8 days now... I'll probably start looking into TSL if he doesn't show up within this week

I talked to yunie today and he's sorting the stuff out and all, so just be a bit more patient here. We still have 2 months to go, ya?

It would still be really nice if he could at least get on here and tell us about delays himself though. I appreciate you bringing those news too though - but i would prefer to hear it first hand 
(I don't mind the delays themselves - as you said still 2 months - i just like to be somewhat updated so i know it's gonna happen)

>_< ...
I probably wont be coming to this since flight prices are way higher now than they were 1-2 months ago when I wanted to book my flight(I'm talking about 4500 SEK or 360 Euro's)
Sorry guys.

It's sad to say...
I could've sworn I had officially announced it in the thread. I apologize for not doing it sooner, it was very irresponsible of me.
Yes, as most (not-stupid) people might have figured out by now (and also from hearing it from Samo-chan and others, whom I have told about the cancellation), this tournament is long cancelled.
Why? A whole lot of bad timing and circumstances.
1) With Lyon as competition, both tournaments are going to be "stealing" players from each other. Since Lyon was announced first, Lyon "stole" the most players, meaning UToD was always going to get the shaft. Smashers aren't millionaires, we have to prioritize. UToD looked like it was moving towards being mostly a Scandinavian tournament since it's too expensive to go to Lyon for most Scandinavians.
2) The only available date (for the venue) coincided with an annual event I go to (anually). I would have had to skip out on either event.
3) And a big quasi-deal breaker: We would even have to share the venue with another group for one of the days, plus for another one of the days (some kind of Harry Potter convention).
Faced with a limited number of nationalities and entrants, having to prioritize one thing over another and even having to share the venue with another group, I simply thought it better to cancel the tournament. I might host one next year, this time with at least six month's notice and with a good date.

Well, it was a good thing someone actually took the first step to host a big tournament in Stockholm.
Kind of an unnecessary bump. There's not really much point to keeping this thread open either, so I'm closing it.
