Thank you, TB, for putting on an amazing event and for reaching out to KeSPA, China, and Sandisk to extend the love of SC2. I did spend a few moments watching the Axiom guys, and I like that you are letting them branch out into casting. The production was good, and I did like the very professional advertisement for Sandisk that you included. (A little repetitive, but then listening to your smooth voice is not all that much of a burden.)
I've already made sure to let Sandisk know how I felt about them sponsoring this ShoutCraft and I think you're doing amazing things - so keep at it. Transparency, awesome games, great events... truly, you are an asset to the scene in general.
TL; dr - Thank you TB! And warm wishes for the future, you're in my thoughts as a compete badass doing stuff like this event AND battling illness.
Next time I do something like this I'm gonna try to get them to give me several ads to voice over so can keep the variety up. It's more effective when you aren't boring people.

I loved everything about this, your write up was great and honest, and the tournament was spectacular even if my boy Flash didn't win. Only thing I would add is try to get Flash and Jaedong next time, I imagine it would boost the viewership significantly if they played each other.
|
Thanks for this great writeup TB. It's always nice getting to peek behind the curtain a bit, especially for an event that went well for fans, sponsors, and you.
|
thx TB this was an amazing event and I really loved it.
I think you got something going on here.
Pretty sure everyone will agree that a tourney with flash and life is much better than a tourney with a drunk Demuslim playing Huk...
thank you so much man, keep fighting the good fight!

Thanks for making this awesome tournament happen TB!

that said, thank you so, so, so much for putting this together. i missed much of day 2 (watched on re) and part of day 3. they were ALL amazing.
|
Can anyone tell me what's up with Frank Klepacki (the guy that wrote C&C soundtracks?)?

Keep up the good work and HSC will have to schedule around your tournament.
The games were absolutely unreal.
If you can get this going on a bi-monthly schedule or something similar, with these level of players entering, and yours will be the premiere tournament behind only the GSL and Proleague.

Thanks so much for this tournament. So many fantastic games. The other day I watched the Bbyong vs. Flash series and I was mindblown  Fastastic job.
|
Finished watching it this week-end. It was really awesome. I almost miss KT match in PL because i was watching the final of the SSCI ^^
|
This blog post is a perfect occasion for me to say thank you for everything you did to the community (axiom, shoutcraft, donations, growth, ..).
You're my personal hero, keep doing great things.
P.S :
I wanted to gift you with tl+ seeing you don't have it but my c/c has expired 
Soon..

HerO sucks so bad. I'm glad you realized the mistake you made by inviting this scrub.
Now, on to watch the DreamHack finals...

Slightly spoilerific punchline in this joke, lol.

With China showing a large viewer count, could you see a tournament featuring Chinese players only or in combination with Koreans/NA. I would imagine you could find sponsors that want to target the Chinese market.
Just wondering if it could have a chance.
Loved the Shoutcraft content.

To combine the Chinese with the other regions would be very hard with The Great Wall of Lag, idk how TB would feel about Chinese-only idea, would have to hear from he man himself

Props, TB!
Definitely a great success here! Hope there'll be more to come (but seeing how it went, this should/could be perfectly natural).

Agree with pretty much all of it, even the stuff about HerO. I do think that him getting stomped was more a case of his slumping than him being tiers below though 
I think you hit the nail on the head though, these guys deserve more chances to both show their skills and also earn some prize money. Flash is a case in point, a few bad games and he drops out of the reckoning entirely in Korea, but look at the magnificent Starcraft he is capable of!
Tbh I don't feel it should have come to the likes of yourself to bring more tournaments, even invitationals to Korea. It's been a joke that there is less and less prize money to go around as the level of player rises up seemingly inexorably
