The launch was delayed because of issues with Valve.

They had the perfect time to do it, not long after 1am (yesterday, i'm not talking about the new launch)

But some boat got into the safety zone so they had to sort it out. Then they had to wait for wind to be the correct conditions.

I waited up until 2am for nothing.

Yeah I read that in the YouTube comments. Most if not all of the people who stayed up to watch the launched missed out on almost everything.

It was cool to watch the YouTube videos. Hopefully some dumb fucks wont go and make the team that made this happen cry because they disagree with their shirts.
