Hey, TvT is a cool matchup.
|
Raelcun: I had a chat with deL and if you want a co-caster tomorrow I may be able to help you out. Will try to buzz you on MSN beforehand to discuss.
|
Spewing Leg had to go up vs IdrA round 1, GL anyway.
And GoGo frug!
|
|
Some technical problems with the volumes, co-commentator sounds fine in the headset but gets fed to stream really quietly despite being maxed Q_Q
Stream should be up soon I'll let you know when.
|
Streaming at 2:00 AM hard to stay at wake will wait for videos

Lol I'm on watching. Idra will likely rape Leg but who knows he might cancel CC again.
|
Koll lost to Goody, wow. Non-standard builds once again does in the wunder-kind.
|
Hmm, so... SPOILERS
Idra going to switch over to SC 2? His in-game chat seems to indicate so.
|
|
What? No more Lzgamer?
|
Ha Legionnaire almost took that game off of Idra. Destroyed Idra's first major tank push but couldn't follow it up 
|
I couldn't watch the stream as my internet is capped - how'd it go any feedback?

Something I don't get...
There are four countries that have three players in the tournament. The players from three of them get paired up so that they eliminate each other early on, and only the US players don't have to meet each other. This can't have happened by accident...

Are you accusing me of being biased towards an arbitrary country other than my own? o.O If I rigged the brackets I wouldn't have put aussies in the same side as IdrA, or facing off against each other if they advanced Also there are only 3 countries with 3 players - USA, Sweden and Germany. I am sure the kiwis on this forum will appreciate me pointing out to you - New Zealand is not part of Australia (shock!)
The order of invites is the order which they replied to my request, and then the qualification tournaments to determine the other 8 players went like Europe, Oceania/Asia, America, Europe, America, Europe, Oceania/Asia, America so the opponents are just the qualifiers from those tournaments in order. Europeans (namely, Swedes and Germans) took out the tournaments that happened to be against their own countrymen.
If you look at continents, iNc, Target and GosI[Terran] are in the same situation.

deL: The only feedback from tonight's cast that Raelcun told me about was that people were griping about the volume problem we were having (and believe me, we spent a damn long time trying to fix it). I didn't hear any other complaints or praises so I'm going to assume that we did a reasonably solid job for a couple of scrub players turned commentators! =D

I wasn't really accusing anyone, just wondering how that happened. And immediately after submitting my post I realized that the USA players are spread out as far as possible too. At any rate, thanks for the detailed explanation.
And sorry about the New Zealand thing; I just looked at the flags next to the players' IDs, but apparently not closely enough.
