This is my favorite online tourny as well. Everything is brilliant.
There is a small issue I have with something you said however,

I know that you do not intend this, but this statement is scary. I like the fact that you feel you owe your viewers something as they have provided the resources to make this happen. I am not saying this will happen but without viewer funding executive decisions can be made without the support of the community and viewers may feel less connected to the tournament. I would say that instead of ever severing ties with community sponsorship, you just continue raising the prize pool as your own revenue keeps increasing. I doubt any player or team would oppose to the prize pool being raised from what it was originally announced as when they signed up.
Just some food for thought.

Good read. I watched as the viewers went up and up. Seeing this tournament grow is a great thing.
Would of been nice to see the finals have a gone on a big longer not look 4-0 even though each game was close and a great watch.
Tournament has also tempted me into using Reapers a bit more against Protoss. (Thanks ThorZaIN) 
Look forward to seeing SCI5. Keep up the great work TB.

Cheers for a great tourney TB. Colin Smith is my idol

Amazing tournament once again! loved watching it and cant wait for the next.
@ Mattchew if I recall correct the maximum prizepool allowed by blizzard is 5k USD without having to give them a cut of the pool. Thats why it isnt bigger.

Always like your recaps after your events TB, regardless of whether you were an organizer or "merely" caster. Keep it up ! And don't get banned 
|
Always been a fan TB! I really enjoy these invitationals!
Keep up the good work!
|
I love that you do these things TB. I wish the rest of the industry took cues from you!
Nevadie!
5/5

next time try to sync up your matches better with my battlegrounds in SWTOR xD can't watch both cause my pc sucks too much by now
Amazing tournament though, the off-game time was imo perfectly used with displaying ads/grid/etc. The only thing i did not find as perfect was the seemingly tiny studio space. You should try to find a slightly bigger room next time so both of you fit into the image without having to sit on each others laps. you were always very close to the edges if not even partly cut off.
Thanks for the show!

Great tournament, was awesome to watch!

Blizzard capped the maximum amount tournaments can give out without prior approval from them (usually involves that they take some portion of the ad revenue or such) at $5,000. Due to this it is impossible for them to increase the prize limit past this

Great write-up, keep up the good and honest work ! : )
|
Your such a baws TB! I'm not the greatest fan of your commentary style, but I LOVE the effort you put into the things you do. I think people like you really carry a community.
thanks

Can't wait for next one!

TB thanks for all your troubles! Loving the tourneys. Now... if you could get MC (SK.MC?)... that would be... awesome!
|
Great tournament, great roundup! Much love for you and your team TB!
Can't wait for the SCI5, what I would give to see Ryung participate in it...

Thanks for an awesome tournament TB! I can't imagine it's easy simultaneously organizing and casting a tournament for 12 hours a day.
I have one question though regarding DarKFoRcE's total winnings (for the sake of accuracy on the Liquipedia page: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/The_SHOUTcraft_Invitational/4) - how much did he win?
Was it: $1021 = $100 (from being eliminated in group stages) + $821 (from tips) + $100 (for the comeback bounty, while I heard you increased from $50, for a truly amazing comeback)
Or was the comeback bounty placed directly in his tip jar, making his total winnings $921?
I know this doesn't actually matter that much for most people besides DarKFoRcE, but it bugs me when something on Liquipedia is wrong...

Shoutcraft is amazing.
What is even more amazing are these recaps, you're the only host / tournament to give such insight in how everything went. Really like it.
Now go make more Terraria video's

Been following your work ever since you got into the sc2-scene, and all your tournaments and other content never fail to impress. Looking forward to your march-tourney, until then, prosper! :D
