Who's next on the stand to defend themselves for noobwatch? How about a visit from Billy Butterfingers. That's right, the reason for the tournament delays are being pinned on the fact that some of the tournament servers have been dropped and physically damaged.

Our secret source known only as Mr. G called us weeping drunken, hysterical tears.

"They dropped them. The servers have actually been physically destroyed. That has to be an i-series first."

He may be right. Certainly I've never heard of anyone from Multiplay staff effectively destroying valuable equipment while performing the relatively simple task of transporting the servers from point A to point B. Mind you, the delays might not be too savage.

"It shouldn't be too bad though" said Mr. G, wiping away yeasty tears "We've got replacements on site and are just setting them up now. I don't know what will need installing but with any luck it won't be too long."

Well, while we expected delays anyway a slow round of applause goes to the guy who managed to pull off this new level of LAN ineptitude.
