It's really really great to read this blog, and even though I couldn't catch the tournament (Twitchtv blocked in China rofl TT) I can just feel the enthusiasm and appreciation of the community through your post, the numbers, and the responses.

You may forever play Gold BC Rush Terran but you will always be a Casting and Tournament Hosting Grandmaster in our minds and hearts.

Top Hat Hwaiting!

Really appreciate these postmortems. As a mere uninvolved viewer it's very cool to get some insight into the numbers and your subsequent plans. I'm glad that everything has been working out so well.

TotalBiscuit, your dedication to both providing good content, and most uniquely, being transparent about it, is really remarkable. Congratulations on an excellent tournament.

Tournament was awesome, loved it from start to finish. Love the tip jar idea.. no idea why people would be against that. Can't wait for Koreans! Thanks TB!

It's great seeing this thing develop into a big deal (40k viewers, DAMN). The big timers in the scene could learn a few things from how TB does his thing.

Enjoyed the tournament, some of the best matches we've seen in 2012 yet, keep going!

Also, please thank your JTV mods - their effort is stellar as well, and it should not be discounted in the big picture (imho).

Looking forward to SCI5

Great tournament, but maybe a gsl groupsystem next time avoids a meaningless series like darkforce vs. thorzain i think was in group A and that also shortens the groupday to about 8 hrs something. Thats my only criticpoint if u can call that one

I loved SCI4! Imho it's the best online tournament, and it's better than the majority of the offline tournaments.
The stream quality was pefrect, the casting was always fun, entertaining and precise, and the "coming up" and brackets informations were almost always avalaible and update. It was really a great experience: always fun and entertaining!

I'm also a big fan of TB outside the SC scene, and we all know he always struggles to achieve the best possible.
The only little advice I can give you is to try to avoid those:

You make them appear on screen just for a split second, usually on the beginning of the matches.
I know it's really really REALLY minor, but I personally find the a bit annoying xD

Love you all, bye!
