BeSt: Light turned off his stream? Light would have been annoyed to play because of the lag. There was an inevitable lag because it was far from the observer's country Please get a Korean to observe the games next time. Nontheless it was a great event for the viewers. | ||

Unfortunately there is no way around that. I am not comfortable with sharing my stream link, and generally not interested in organizing such events unless I am the person observing. There will always be purists who are uncomfortable with the idea of pros playing under higher latency than they are used to. I encourage these individuals to try to set up such events as they please. There is lag in our live foreign organized events and most people seem to be fine with that. I think the same applies to such pro-gamer events. Additionally, it was made known to all pro-gamers whom we contacted that the observer would be from North America and they were fine that with. So it is really up to the players to decide whether they wish to participate under such conditions or not. I am glad they accepted because it turned out to be really fun for us. Thanks again~ | ||

All shortcomings were my own, including the lag issue, which I should probably address for the sake of clarity. Unfortunately there is no way around that.

I think you're wrong on both accounts and a lot of people complained about the lag including the players that were rolling their eyes whilst playing, everything resulting in Light cheesing every other game to get it over with as soon as possible. At the end of the day you're putting in the most effort and should have the last say on everything but you're short-changing yourself as an organizer if you're not aware of how detrimental these playing conditions are for the players, especially those of the highest caliber that rely on micro to hit their sharp builds. That being said, the overall effort to put up these events is admirable. | ||

That's such a damn shame. To be honest I would rather watch some great foreigners play than this, if this is how it will look like. Foreigners definitely need the money and the spotlight more than koreans do.. anyways, thanks for organizing the event and keep up the amazing work, Ox. | ||

It was nice to receive over 50 messages thanking me for the event from people who enjoyed it regardless of the shortcomings, so while I appreciate the critical feedback, I treat it with a grain of salt as they say ;-) I just wanted to do a foreign organized progamer event, hang out with my caster friends and have fun with people. And of course, the vision was to raise awareness around Trovo and its sponsorship opportunities for Brood War organizers, casters and players, thus paving the way for BW related entry into that platform. Mission accomplished on those accounts. Yes the sounds were sub optimal and my apologies for that. Steve had it set up the best he could and Kwark was baby sitting his wonderful child while trying his best to keep his commitment to cast. It was a nice experience for us and hopefully not too bad for others I will upload a VOD link by the end of today in case any souls out there are interested in watching it. | ||

First they didn't even have a map pool figured out, and deferred to the players to just figure it out. The lack of communication, and prep felt disrespected to Best and Light imo. Then the conversation of who would observe and host was discussed. The obvious choice was to have Steve host/observe to avoid unplayable lag, and broadcast to discord or some other means to be rebroadcast to trovo. When this was suggested somebody said "Over my dead body" choosing to instead observe from outside of Korea. The games were incredibly laggy, and you could tell from the FPV how frustrating this was for the players. I find this to be incredibly rude and disrespectful that this observers EGO got in the way of a solid showmatch. Not only were the games laggy, but the games were bad as Light and Best cheesed each game. Presumably to put themselves out of their misery of playing in such a shit environment. | ||

Teamthinkquick already addressed the other points around having korean observers. Btw, I don't know if there are any other Brood War events that tick all of these boxes: 1. Feature S-list progamers 2. Organized by foreigner scene 3. LIVE matches 4. Significant prize pool (keep in mind this was $500 for what was essentially a 3-hour event) | ||

There are a lot of hills to climb in life, and you may not want to die on every single one of them. Save your emotions for more important things, you'll need them ;-) | ||
