The P in ICPC stands for POSTPONED

I want to know what in the world is wrong with people organising ICPC Online Preliminary.

Last time someone made this post : Is ICPC Amritapuri happening or not?

and the great holier-than-thou pritishn wrote a big paragraph about how people are not able to participate because they are sick etc.

The same thing was told recently by Nightmare05 here

It's so obvious that ICPC is ruined for 2017th batch, now they are ruining it for 2018 as well.

Here's the timeline for ICPC this year

  1. 15th May
  2. Postponed
  3. June Last Week

  5. July 10

yeah man ICPC was the only motivation for doing cp for me,cannot relate more, but glad that our college years ended before and we could participate in ICPC, it's a totally different experience. I wish they could resume it as soon as possible, so you guys can participate.

Bruh. In that last post you mentioned, the author named "amrita_icpc_injustice" was unfairly blaming Amrita for all this.

Have you even heard anything from the other regionals? At least Amrita was trying to give us a contest.

And also they have mentioned that the recent postponement was due to ICPC official site's mistake. Src:https://mirror.codeforces.com/blog/entry/90107?#comment-813146

(If you have used the new site, you'll know how buggy it is. In the last day for registration some teams kept receiving server error on submission of details).

Hey bro, just to clarify, I never ever said that people are sick or not in a situation to give ICPC, I myself am a 2021 graduate and really badly want ICPC held as soon as possible, I can literally feel the motivation dying in everyone around me dying with each passing day, please read my comments once again, I just wanted ICPC as soon as possible on that blog too!!!
