I just think it was misleading advertising to say, when the game was released in March, that tournaments would be ready in April (just a month away). Particularly when just a month ago, they commented that the code at that point was not even ready for testing. I am in software development, and know what is involved with software testing. They had to know that something that was not yet developed and certainly had not started testing could not possibly be ready in a single month. It is just not in the realm of possibility. So to promote that at software launch was simply false advertising.
We thought it would be easier to implement (when we made the initial announcement in February), simple as that. And while developing it we also increased the scope and possibilities of the feature, which resulted in a longer development time...

And by the way, false advertisement requires malicious intent. There never was malicious intent on our side, of course. We simply wanted to share our plan for future features with an ETA. But, I repeat myself here
