Rus_Brain's cup is the biggest "real" tournament featuring some of the best post 2010 BW players, it would be kinda nice if Twitch and the big names like Day9, Tastosis and Incontrol supported it in any way. I view what's being done instead (this Holiday Bash thing) as entirely irrelevant as far as competitive BW is concerned.

@Incontrol, I really appreciate the fact that you're posting, especially since you're the only one. I have one question if you could possibly answer: who picked the players?

If you don't know, could you find out? Or at least tell us how that was done for the Zotac tournament?
Thanks.

Sorry you weren't invited but getting mad in a thread won't do much. Just msg some folk and ask what it takes.

best lineup of favourite players/casters/personalities
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE

EDIT: i dont see this as a "real" competition, rather than an entertainment event with people who can produce fun stuff. As a twitch viewer i'm all for jokes and BGH4v4 with WhiteRa going mass dark archons. Has nothing to do with the skill of existing foreign pros, because, lets me honest, they would not produce similar contents, it would be completely different thing.

I'd like to hear more about it. Don't they ask anyone? I doubt it's purely an internal decision, it wouldn't make sense.

To be fair, as someone who just caught the results, you would be hard pressed to convince me that rus_brain cup was competitive, from what I gather Mong was fed dinner while he was also feasting on Bonyth & co. Scan wrecked everyone as well.

I don't think it's a good example of a good foreigner competition which is my problem with these events, none of the ongoing events are a good place to play except TL Open (and maybe sk weekly?).

It's very competitive, only the foreigners don't stand a lot of chances in the competition
But I think it's honestly the totally different problem. Rus brain are the exact opposite of this twit event. It has the highest level of competition, even allowing ex pro gamers in. The Twitch event has the lowest competition, only inviting players regardless of skill.

unfortunately, top foreignersot don't have great chances to win/play in either of them.

But I would pick rus brain Cup over Twitch bash any day.

Maybe Draco will offrace as Terran and accidentally cancel his cc, then nony will build 4 gates in the middle of the map and win the whole thing.

Wouldn't be too sure. Draco's pvp seems to depend a lot on his form of the day (see ESL Italy).

Well, at least Mong needed both of his hands to win this.

Scan did manage to get one win of Mong. But even then he seemed way to strong for everyone. The Rus Brain cup was fun to watch though. I was switching between Eon and Scan during the event. Maybe one day we can see them at one of these show match events.
