lol ket just phoned me to see what was going on in case the stream/internet had more info. Basically he said everyone just ran out and for a second he thought it was an earthquake given how fast ppl were running. Apparently lots of police showed up and they were all made to wait outside and was talk of men with guns. He said they are going back in now so i guess its over whatever happened.
Fwiw 2p2 say men w/ ski masks attempted to rob the cashier, who knows how accurate that is
What the hell?
First time shit like this happens on a tournament of such a scale, it looks like PS will have to consider hiring additional security? ;o
swedish news site is reporting they got away with $1 mill, thats pretty outrageous if it's true

guys,i was there.
I was just about to enter the hotel where the event is held as 5 masked men were running out directly in front of me,apparently fleeing.
Still pretty shocked.
Talked to some guys and a security men ,who was badly beaten up(but still in astonishing good shape).
So far i can tell,that there def. seemed to be not enough security.
