They planned their event months ahead, but Valve could have destroyed in less than a day. However, the production crew didn't give up and talked to Valve itself for a change – and it worked! It seems like Slacks put all his effort in changing Valve's mind about the scheduling.
I think @SirActionSlacks deserves a round of applause. Incredible job to turn this around!!!!! Valve qualifier dates moved.

Don't want to compliment him too often, but this is honestly god's work. Good job brother. PROUD OF YOU <3
Midas Mode 2, LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Another tournament got canceled
Valve changed the date of the qualifier to October 5-October 10, which means Midas Mode will have less problems recruiting teams to join their out-of-the-box tournament mode.
They also explained their decision to move the qualifier: another LAN tournament that originally was scheduled on the second week of October has since been canceled. This is why Valve was able to move their qualifier to a date which won't interfere with Midas Mode 2.0.
A LAN tournament was originally scheduled in the second week of October and we tried scheduling qualifiers around it. The tournament has since been canceled.
