theres no way they're gonna risk that. They got enough server problems and lags already. Could be a massive fail if zoom is released with 300k+ players online and everything crashes. I assume they will be careful and it will be released after the 6mio SM weekend and before Micro Millions.

I recon micro millions has even larger player pool than 6m SM , since the buy in s are so low and prizepools are huge , even more gambling going on . Viewing from that point they will release it after the micros are over .

Stars Rep said mid March and this gotta be for real this time, otherwise it's a huge disappointment for everyone.

Just saying they are not going to start it just before their special sunday million or even during with loads of players online. guessing March 12-14.

there is a reload for the micro million which ends on the 14th so if stars is kind enough to give a zoom reload (ok...lol) then they will release it on the 15th which would also match next week and the middle of the month (both details were named by stars as a release date)

Perhaps when they said middle of the month, the meant middle of 'the month'. 'the month' being the month zoom will be released. In which case it will be released during a month. September is a month, that's my best guess.

Spoiler:
I may be wrong tho.

I didn’t play rush tournaments. What happened when there were 12 players left? (Assume 9 max) what happened when there were 9? How did the final table play?

6 and 6 players.... etc. FT as a normal table. Would be more fun though if the positions could switched again every hand though.

Yeah, Stars should consider this. It would suck to play the whole tournament never having the same player on your left 2 hands in a row then all of a sudden you play the entire final table in fixed seats. Make sure all players at the final table get all the different positions equally (Like no one should get the BB or the button more than someone else) but there should be reseating on every hand to keep the Zoom tournament consistent IMO.

that sounds unnecessarily complicated and also kinda bad for the players.
Imo it made perfect sense the way tilt did it with having the final table run as normal: you know who has to post when (which might be good to know for ICM considerations), everbody gets to the blinds EXACTLY after one orbit (little variation here would have too huge of an impact) plus your buddies can also rail you.

There is a pop up in the lobby that says turbo night and that some sit and go's will not respawn for the server restart at 7est.
