I'd understand you need to prepare for such a duel, but you already knew you had to play FireSworD since about 10 days, looks like enough time to prepare yourself. I know it's a heavy-weight duel, but you shouldn't take it too heavy.
About progress in the Loser's Bracket: you're not the only one who wants to see progress, I want that as well (and badly). But, unfortunately, it's just not possible to have these matches being played so soon. Players have their studies, jobs, or other stuff to do during weeks that prevent them from playing their matches. It's too bad, but everyone has such things, and it's no reason to prevent those players from signing up, is it?

Anyway, I didn't tell FS or anyone that I would give you a forfeit loss if you didn't play this weekend, but I have to agree with FireSworD that it's taking a bit long, especially since there's really no reason to postpone the duel any further. The wait time in the LB could take a while, but I don't see a way to stop that.
