SCI4 was very nice to watch, the stream was immaculate. TB really knows how to put on a show, he's not my favorite caster but his showmanship and tournament creation sense is quite good.

Awesome tournament TB!.

I think you should keep the same donation system as it is now and If you keep getting this kind of donation you could always hold a larger tournament at the end of the year even if blizzard wants a cut from the ads.

Great tournament - very fan and player friendly. Great to see the players getting their money straight away.

I also want to applaud your decision to chose skill over fan favourites - that will ultimately make the tournament more popular. Having Grubby, Ret, Stephano and Thorzain in the final four really made sure I would watch the whole of Day 2.

I'm quite angry that most of the Koreans TB tried to approach fail to recognise an opportunity to get free money and promotion. It used to be one Bo3, now it’s three Bo3s, either way it's time you'd spend playing the game playing the game for money. I guess FXOBoSs has a point in his blog post, aside from the communication issues they don't know how to put one and one together. How someone can’t see that TB is a reliable entity and that the money is a sure thing is beyond me.

I'm sorry for the OT and thanks for the tournament .

Was one BO5 Zax, not BO3

Groupstage means more maps they have to play, but we changed at the behest of the players who prefer that format to single elim BO5

A variety of reasons, the biggest one being the over-saturation of tournaments lately, making it impossible to get the players we want at the time we want them. I've also ramped up the business over the past 6 months and since I don't live in the UK anymore, I can't get Apollo to co-commentate with me in the studio.
