I've thought hard about this past few hours while I was working out at a gym. I'm going to end up casting it today at 4 PM EST (pushed back 30 minutes, currently messaging a TL staff to change times) instead of 4:30 PM EST start time.
I've been waiting to get response from my other co-caster but I haven't heard back and I'm already down a caster from the other event. So if I end up casting this all by myself, solo-cast despite everything seemed all cool 2 days ago before this all fell apart, so be it.
Also I understand what people are saying about all this and at the end of the day, I shouldn't allow external factors affect what should be done. Up until 2 days ago, I was all hyped up for getting back to casting SC BW again and getting involved in TL community again since 2015 when I used to translate stuff from Korean to English on Sonic Starleague at snipealot channels and LR threads. It's not even about the # of viewers I have or don't have, it's just that everything looked fine with preparations until all of a sudden, things seem to fall apart. Didn't want to cause drama so I do apologize everyone about all this but I was mentally drained past day or so. In my view, Rookie Teamleague is a part of TL/BW community that's directly part of them for all the people participating and those interested in amateur BW leagues, and I wanted to be part of it with my own way by casting.
Anyway, live casting for week 1 at 4 PM EST! VODs on YouTube at most a day after! Stay tune! I'll be at school, but do you not have Qikz co-casting? You could also politely ask EleGant or Jealous, and I'm 45% sure they'll say 'yes'.
I'd like to hear the math behind that.

Did you know 68.6% of percentages are made up.

Faust petition to change it to 2 1v1s, a 2v2, and a 3v3. The team melee idea is honestly really bad for casting. It may have been brought up in discussion earlier, but do Macro/Micro replays work? Would be a better alternative IMO. Ultimately though, I think TM is played too rarely and is quite dope. I don't think casting is the most important part of this league - the games are.
I believe Macro/Micro replays work because it's just a regular UMS map

Thank you everyone who tuned in the first cast of Rookie Teamleague with Qikz and me. YouTube VODs will be up in coming day or so which I'll link.
For now, you can watch the entire cast in auto-archive Twitch VOD at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/125454510

Great cast, thanks again Quickstriker and Qikz!

Two new players are up for grabs who want to join the league. I added them to OP.
 evileye and  iopg - if teams want them, just post telling me and I will add them to your roster.
There may be some slight roster changes in the coming days with two teams combining their players and a few spots opening up in another. The wiki is being updated as well. Week 1 results are updated, but the individual matches need to be added in still. Team standings on the main wiki page are going to be added as well.
Also, prize information will be announced and put in the OP in the coming day or so.

Oh I forgot one thing I want to ask to all fellow teams. Can I have each team choose a theme song of their own (preferably a music that won't mute the VOD on Twitch and YouTube) to play as their team intro and in-between matches (winner team music gets play until next match is ready to cast)? Otherwise I will randomly play whatever music I feel interested. I propose https://www.youtube.com/embed/CTE08SS8fNk?start=423&end=460&version=3 as our intro (The Twin Towers of Zenithal)

Can we take one of them even if we're at 5 players? If yes then The Twin Towers of Zenithal Postmodern Practicality will take Evileye

Saw your PM and am considering it.
If I give you evileye I'll have to expand team limit for every team. Imo having a player limit for a league is kind of a dumb idea and should really be up to the teams to decide how many players they want to use since they are the ones organizing who plays on what maps. However, a big reason I did put a cap on team size was for prizes because I can't afford to pay out teams of 8 people. That and I wanted to make sure there were enough teams who'd join this league for it to even start (which is not a problem anymore, as we have 12 teams). For instance, don't think this league would have survived two weeks if we had 6 teams of 8 people rather than 12 of 4 people. And then one team completely doesn't show.
Would like to get some feedback from other teams and their thoughts on removing player limit now while I figure out this prize situation. Have around a $200 amazon gift balance and wanted to buy the winners gift cards for amazon but just hit the roadblock where I realized I can't buy gift cards with amazon gift balance. I will figure something out though. I promise one way or another there will be some sort of prize for this league.

Sorry, forgot to reply to this. Thanks!
If anyone has any feedback for me or QS then please let us know in the thread and we can improve. :>

I think that we should put only allow all the teams with less than 5 players accept new sign-ups before we increase the limit. It just makes sense. A 5-player team does not need 1 player as badly as a 3-player team.
|
I think the prize should be having fun playing the game with friends.

Sigrun and I would like to join Dogmanner. I've confirmed with zerochrome and Faust, and chilos already invited me before the league started, so I think we're okay.

I think your mic sound was a bit too low, as QS's voice and the game's sound would at times drown your voice out. Other than that it was a great cast!

Yesterday's cast with Qikz and me was enjoyable for me. So glad to cast BW again. For next week, we're going to move the time of cast 30 minutes earlier to Tuesday, 3:30 PM EST.
Also I thought of a cool idea for next cast that involves people watching live on Twitch! What if we cast 1-2 team matches as usual but also have a strawpoll for 1 bonus game to cast (only a single set of any team game that week that hasn't been casted) so that there's potentially another 3v3 BGH cast we can do or a featured 1v1 match that viewers really want to see. The strawpoll will go on from start of broadcast till near the end, so around 1.5-2 hour poll. Then after our original scheduled cast, we finish off the night with this bonus single game set cast based on viewers choice?
Feel free to give any suggestions, ideas, thoughts and comments of our cast!
(YouTube VODs should be up tomorrow or Friday!)
