I would like to point out that postponing the finals wasnt successful. Less people watched the most important games of tournament. Maybe bit earlier hour or start for next time, or single elimination could be better. Also i would like to say about maps. I enjoyed playing on heartbeat and overwatch, missed fb or cb tho, and hated silvery waves. I hope next time we can get some standard maps + maybe some new or old maps, but known. Anyway..

Thanks for organizing it, for those who donated, for cats for casting and everyone else involved. To sum up it was good tour even tho not everything was perfect.

Silvery Waves could use a bit refinement (like the egg was put there by the author to allow the terran wall in KogeT made, right? Why else place the egg?) Personally I wouldn't discard it yet. I'd like to see it in the next tournament and see if it can season into something decent or not. If anything I loved not seeing FS n CB in the map pool for a change.

I would vote for Single elimination for next tournament, and maybe bo1 early bracket just to speed it up a bit.

The best time to cast a final should be on a saturday/sunday after dinner around 19-20 CET

Live casting can be really hype, but it just as easy can kill any hype during undetermined down times and extra weary on the caster. If the results can stay hidden to anyone but the players and organizer, I think it would be nice to have casts from replays instead for the next tournament. With possibly a live cast for the final.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I will definitely try to take these into consideration so we can improve the second edition. One final note from myself though is that the peculiar map pool is here to stay, as I consider it one of the characteristics that will define the Crispy Cup. I do understand complaints from some players though and will incorporate 2 actual familiar maps next time.

Congratulations to Trutacz for winning the first edition of the Crispy Cup and to KogeT for coming in second.

Thanks again to everyone who participated, and to iloveav and BisuDagger for casting. Also special thank you to everyone who helped and contributed to the organization in any shape or form including Toastus and DiMiaN.

Finally, here's an updated replay pack. Download here.

Thanks for watching Dragon. Hope to see you in the next one.

I'm currently in the process of writing a liquipedia page which you can find here Crispy Cup. It is going decent but I have a few issues, if anyone can and is willing to help me with this, please PM me.

I will upload the videos form the cast to my Youtube channel (started it today so have to work to do).
Let me know if you have any specific details for the video (like a link to this thread in the video description for example).

Thanks for hosting and the contribution, but doesn't it seem a little skewed to have a tournament ranging from C to A rank? There is a huge discrepancy between C and A rank players, I personally would enjoy more of a C to B- / B range tournaments to be honest. Nevertheless, thanks for the contribution!

I don't want to discriminate against lower rank players, but my interests lie with seeing the best players compete as I love seeing high level matches.

I included C ranks because of a few reasons:

to not exclude players who are clearly above C rank but haven't played enough games from competing
there aren't that many B/A rank players to begin with and the timing of the tournament might not suit them
not everyone plays in a tournament solely to win the prize pool

Plus tournament experience from a true C player is huge. Even if they lose right away, its great practice and motivation.
