You could announce on the forums. There's a million alternatives but you're pretty set on the way things are so lets both pretend there aren't. Why do you have to pick a player from a bunch of spamming retards in the first place eludes me as well. LOL THIS GUYS NAME IS NIGGERBALLS, GAME HIM ASAP.

Second 1 good player vs 1 baddish player who wants to be good is not the same as liquibition or replays that are all over the place no matter what form it's presented in

Seriously youre so adamant about the way you want it you aren't even maknig sense when refuting my suggestions. The mere fact that you have to sit here and refute suggestions on improving the show that you asked for is telling enough about how receptive you are to criticism.

"Since both pro and player are on the stream, anything we say about either player is heard. There is no way to make it a "fair" game. That's the entire point of this event! Why would you want to watch half a game? The idea is a fun event, not competitive play."

I think that this show should concentrate on the "star" player rather than the game itself. Like you said, it's not supposed to be fair - but only the "star" player is supposed to be at an disadvantage; it doesn't make any sense when you make it even easier for that "gosu" to crush his opponents, he's supposed to be doing that without any help at all and handicapped - because he's *that* good.
Most of the commentary has nothing to do with the game itself anyway, so "watching half of it", as you said, won't really be a problem. I actually think it would be more fun this way, since you could elaborate on the guest player's play, his build orders (as crazy as they are) and whatever he's doing on right now - making it much harder for him (as his opponent might be listening to the stream) and therefore, more fun for the spectators - as the entire show is much less predictable.

Also, don't get me wrong, even if the games were played for fun using silly build orders most of them were just bad. It would all look a lot more fun if we wouldnt be able to see how much the players chosen to play the "star" suck I think that would give an illusion of skill, in some cases, as we couldn't see any idle scv's, messed up build orders and so on.

And if they don't suck - lack of their vision would make the game look more dramatic. Dropships, rushes, sunken brakes - nobody could anticipate that coming, it would always be a huge surprise to both the star player and the spectators. Every single game incontrol played would look a 100x better if we didn't have vision of his opponent and everything was concentrated on his play only.

I *do* understand that show is all about fun and I *do* think that lack of the guest player opponent's vision would make it much, much more fun as everything would be completely unpredictable.
