FROZEN SYNAPSE TOURNAMENT?

So I noticed that the most excellent game Frozen Synapse is on the daily steam sale (after the summer sale daily steam sales go for 48 hours, so you can get on this deal).
Now this is one of my favourite games in recent times with an excellent tactical turn-based system that essentially contains no random elements at all. It is all about outsmarting the opponent every turn. I myself am partial to the "light" gamemode where you always see all the opponents, since I feel that makes for a more thoughtful experience. But I know a lot of people like the "dark" mode where you only see enemies that you have line of sight to.
Now it's hard to explain the excellence that is Frozen Synapse and it's not a game for everyone (Clyve apparently doesn't like it.) but there is a demo available.
But since the game is cheap (when you buy it you get two copies, one that you can give to a friend or maybe a fellow RMNer) I thought that maybe there's people who have it or want to have it and it has a sort of tournament system. Though that system is not overly great. But games are short and sweet and makes for excellent tournament play. We could have a series setup where every player plays each other (maybe twice?) and if there are enough interested we could have a playoff round
(best of three?)
The game also supports the export of videos so we could easily make a highlight reel of the games.
But yeah I know this is a long shot and that no one here is interested in turn-based tactical games (cyberpunk also btw). But on the off-chance I think it could be very fun.
EDIT: Also the game has an awesome soundtrack. Just saying. Holy shit it's great.

I think you need to combine several brains to develop a brain able enough to play Minority Report Tactics.
I actually own this game but never gave it a real shot. I agree on the music though.

It is not that complicated. There are some things that aren't immediately intuitive but it doesn't take long to learn different things and ending up with complete control over what happens.
And it helps that it's five-second turns so that you don't have to think about longer periods of time.
