Fans and players were left clueless waiting for hours with no updates from the organisers before being told that the tournament will be continued tomorrow

An unverified source close to the organisers revealed that this was due to someone plugging a portable air-con unit into the same extension cord as the routers and switches
Fans attending the show tweeted their frustration at the lack of updates and the organisation of the event
The issue stemmed from an electrical surge, which caused LAN cables to cease working
There were some fans that were more sympathetic, understanding that glitches happen but was keen to note that everything should be checked first for a major tournament
Josh, an avid gamer told SAYS "It is expected that a tournament will have delays and have minor issues with glitches. But to have one on a scale like this is not normal. The organisers must make sure that the hardware and software are tested first".
Fans will be looking forward to a better day two and hope that all glitches and problems will be solved by them
