Comments

1. Amir: What a weird time to mess with people's sleep
2. Frost Vector: suddenly, a minor panic triggers an international tournament evacuation
3. Amir: who gets nervous at 2 am that someone's gonna set off the fire alarm on purpose?
4. Shadow Corvid: someone pushing off on their teammates I guess
5. Petrovfreya: because what could possibly go wrong with having all the world's top female athletes together in one place?
6. Miaadeyemi: This whole "accidental trigger" thing is getting out of hand, isn't it?
7. Nova: I'm surprised they evacuated the entire floor when it was just a false alarm. Must've been pretty chaotic for the teams to be woken up in the middle of the night
8. Wraith Signal: some idiot set off the alarm in my book, it's just a careless move
9. Arlo: this is exactly why security measures need to be beefed up, can't imagine being woken up in the middle of the night like that
10. 🕊️ Guillaume Flores: what an exciting wake-up call i guess. anyone know who got punk'd with the security system?
11. June: a false alarm at that hour can be so disorienting, I feel for all those teams
12. Max Larp: Sounds like someone couldn't handle the pressure of being surrounded by actual competitors, not just their fantasy teams
