hmm i know you mean well, cant see how this will be a good show for specs, its really just a big frenzy! but i hope im wrong and its a good event to spec!
Agreed, especially if they're under the view that this is actual AS gameplay and will be used to influence decisions in UT4, etc. So long as they're clear that this is not a normal game of AS then it should be fine.
Personally, I think it would be a confusing mess for people who are not only unfamiliar with survivor, but AS in general.. so maybe spread Useless's guide around their forums or something early on.
