Server says something will happen in X seconds. Client gets the time in X seconds and displays the seconds until that time unless the server cancels it. What am I missing?

It's a hardware thing.

I remember one large wave basically overloaded the servers and made match countdowns slow or even stop. I was in a competition that week and for whatever reason we had decided during the 5 second final bit of the countdown we would chant "Zwaene," a prominent member of the competitive scene. We had to do it for nearly a minute as countdown was so slowed.
Good times.

I expect this wave to be unusually large though. I mean, one of these guys got 18 million subscribers so far.

We've had a lot of extremely prominent youtube figures cover the game. Much of the TGS (now Polaris) crew played the game and made some videos, we had Hey Ash guys play a lot, itmeJP did a video... but sadly most of these guys only do one video for the game. Ah well.
The point is I think most of the vets are used to large swings of people getting into the game for a couple of weeks at a time :)

Most of it was streamed so I'm not sure if they have anything on youtube about it (HeyAsh is actually how I found and got into the game in the first place). It was done basically a year ago, here's one with them playing against Muse folks http://www.twitch.tv/heyashtwitch/b/348378455
Edit: Here's the best video http://www.twitch.tv/heyashtwitch/c/1785073 :D
