the thing is bgh is a much more specialized map, especially early game and early game is tremendously crucial. there are only few number of things that work on bgh, while you can get away with many more things on "normal" maps

Hey guys, Thanks for the great games, manner, skills and respect given to each other. ^^ It made a great showmatch (though at start there were ALOT of confusion

) I give props to alot of Op Tl-West people, who I've gotten close by playing TMM and RW's ^^ Really FUN! I hope that Bill's BGH TMM will be done so I can introduce to the BGHers. Anyways, Overall it was a AWESOME showmatch, hope to have it again. And hey, hope you guys become BGH addicts. Thanks again.

how many wins did we get on bgh? even if some of the series went 1-2, thats still not a bad showing all things considered

my team got one, i don't think the other team got a win
hey i propose the tlnet 3v3 teams play each other for who gets to sit at the bottom! =)

Actually I have Mani; not to mention, following the int'l/pro scene here since it began. I said all I needed to. I would have stepped up to play, but I haven't played competively in early 2004. I hardly play anymore - reformatted pc, cannot find SC CD, so I don't bother. ;/

Yeah, although I wasn't exactly happy about my games, I'm sure a lot of people had fun. [Craft] team definitely got some good press (I'm not sure how much they enjoyed pwning us n00bs, though

). And hopefully people in general will show more respect for players who play BGH.

yeah overall this was a pretty good showmatch. i also think there should another one kind of like what idra said. having some of the top players play instead of just the regulars. it would be fun as well and nice to see how other top tl.net players adapt to bgh. anyways.. GG's to everyone i played

gG to all the participants this round.

This showmatch was, for obvious reasons, a very fun event and an excellent mixing of two communites of the same game. I think I echo everybody's opinion when I say results are irrelevant. It is obvious this showmatch was a "bigger deal" for bghers.com because they dont have the OSL, MSL, Proleage, WCG and a million other tournaments and leagues to follow. This event wasnt only a rarity for them, it was also excellent exposure, and it could NOT have been done without the warm support of TL.net. However I assure you that there was no deception on their part, and as promised, everyone was encouraged to register to play irrespective of skill. Of course once the final ten man roster was chosen, a little planning was done to structure them into the strongest possible teams, but I dont foresee any objections on this.

There are a few people who have logged in quite a few hours to make this thing possible, such as Manifesto who came up with the idea and organized TL.nets team all on his own, fwiffo for his programming of the replay uploader and html coding of the news, Surado for helping me with finalizing the team and the reserves, and Babotoss for his amazing as always logo. And I'd like to think I did my bit too!

I was in the channel throughout the showmatch and I observed a very friendly, very manner atmosphere. No one complained about losing a game or whatever (at least not in the channel

). Sure, it feels good to win, but everyone knew this showmatch wasnt really about that.

All in all, I'm very glad that the two communities I have long been a part of were able to productively interact.

Cheers.

Oh yes, I'm also sorry if I offended anyone or got carried away in all the "bghers vs low players" arguments haha! It was my first online argument, and I'd like to think I've learnt when to shut up now!

i'm near crying when i see such true sportsmanship.

manner > skill. period.

if you, Gandalf, could kindly provide the link to the replay-download at BGHers.com, it would be highly appreciated.

I even got some side games versus some good players
