Sorry for the spams, but I feel that it's necessary to keep it bumped or people will not check it... This is how the BW community has become unfortunately.

You have to buy another copy of sc2 and try again.
2hours 20minutes until tour.
Tour Update : Largus switched with Ramms
Since many people are messaging me about not being able to make it, please note your group may change last minute as there are a few players on call to fill the spaces. Sorry for the inconvenience to any players who practiced prior to the tour.

As long as there are VODs available, more BW is never a problem
Wait so event on the calender is pointless?? ahhh why do this if you don t know if cast will take place at same time why even put it up? maybe people expecting to see some games you know...

I don't understand... The calender is up because there is a cast in 45minutes. I just don't know if there's also a SBWI cast for NW at the same time or during this cast.

I don't know why you are so angry about this, they are doing this for free on their own time so you can't really complain. If you want you can download all the replays after the event is finished (which I will release in a zip file) so you don't have to watch it if you don't want to.
it`s not like i don`t like girls)...i`m 24 so, a big part of my time it`s dedicated just for "them", other part of my time it`s dedicated to watch brood war foreign scene ..but as far as i know this tour hit only 50 viewers max.For the players that are involved in this tour i think it`s not enough.It`s just my opinion, u don`t have to agree with me but if there is a "pro tournament" with almost the best people out there should pe casted and observed "in a pro way".I love to watch Bw and i`ve seen almost 80%-85% of every foreign cast, since Sayle`s first A/B tournament to NW2 and i`ve watched hacklebeast first casts with his terrible microhone,bumping sounds helicopter souds etc but i enjoyed them all .I`m just a fan that choose not a wach a tournament and as far as i know(pardon me if i`m wrong), this type tournaments are organized and played by u people(and i thank u for your time and u have my admiration), but are dedicated to us(The FANS) and we have the right to tell u our opinions.

Whoa wait... the fans are entitled to opinions? When did this happen? I'M SO CONFUSED.
edit: ^ is joke
All I can really say is that no one is ever going to be Sayle. There's only one of him, and there's never going to be another one. I can't really make any excuses. I though my cast yesterday wasn't that good, and L_Master did, in fact, save the cast from going up in flames.
I didn't do a good job, so all I can ask is you give me an opportunity to get better.

We had many russian casters do the group stage as well, Largo had over 100 viewers for most of it, pururu had 30 and negroplay had about 10-30. This would put the total over 200.

Additionally, it's worth noting that SBWI NW were on at the same time.
What would also be constructive is helping us understand what we can do better for future casts.

DON'T FORGET MY STATUS
I'M A BOSS
Don't get it twisted, don't be hating because I stack paper to the ceiling and ride on 24-inch chrome.
I would watch the VoDs, but the audio is abysmal. I'm sorry. I don't want to be such a negative nancy, but please make sure you buy a relatively okay microphone (It shouldn't cost more than 40$) before casting such an awesome event

He casted all of the group, it took about an hour and a half because 1 of the games itself was 30+minutes (Jumper vs Baku)

The point is they are putting in their time mainly for the love of the game and nothing else. A++ for effort. Try casting replays for 4 hours straight without getting paid and then come talk to me.
tips I would give is better microphone and maybe you can discuss more about the uniqueness/tendencies of known players. Also you can pull a sonic and use resolution hack, but overall it was a job well done.
This is something I sorely need to do. I don't usually watch to many of the games super close, so I'm out of touch with tendencies and styles of many players. I know generally who is doing well at the time but little beyond that.
It's an area that needs improvement; especially as it adds alot to the cast in terms of hype and storylines, not mention filling up space that is generally nothing more than "minerals being mined".

I wasn't criticizing the casting. If Ninazergs forum personality is anything to go by I would love her casts. And I already watch Lmasters cast occasionally and I like him to, but improving the microphone quality is REALLY important especially to me because I just can't tolerate low quality audio.
