Tester is a beast, I wonder if better corrupter/hydra micro would've made a diff, Tester didn't have enough AA to kill corrupters before they killed the colossus, it looked like... but yeah.

+ Show Spoiler + Pretty much all of it is Tester schooling foreigners though. I have to admit I expected more out of Idra. Especially on game 3 he showed his lack of ability to adapt. A handful of mutalisks would have done wonders versus a stretched out base like that. Too often does he wait for the opponent to build up so he can counter his army. He should take up on some initiative. | ||

I don't know if this series has convinced me that Korea will remain far and away the most dominant force in SC2. It's hard to describe but basically when you watch Korean BW it's just mind blowing and you feel no one could ever reach that level, whereas I don't get that same feeling watching Tester. I do suspect that it's for 2 reasons: the main one being I don't think Blizzard's map pool favors macro oriented play very much. The other is that to my knowledge Korea still hasn't 'converted' to SC2. I'm very interested to see what will happen when (if?) they do P.S. I would love to see Tester vs Sen =D | ||

However, if we put a prediction of "next day or so" up and do not meet it, people will whine (see several posters above). So we have decided to make a more accurate prediction of "within 1 week" which is fine whether we upload it today or at the end of the week. This will still lead to whining, but this type of whining is less frequent and less annoying. Obviously, we will upload it as soon as possible. I wouldn't say that people whine, I would say that they complain because of the failure of the results that they were expecting. Don't make the mistake of thinking that people do not appreciate your work and time put into this because they complain. Most people expected the vods to be up within one day and after several days of expecting the same thing and not having it they eventually started to complain about it. But this is only due to the inaccuracy of their expectations as opposed to the actual facts. So just proper information and notifications of the status that you guys are at will do wonders. If it takes a day, say it will take a day, if one week, say one week, if you expect a day and some problems occur, just make a quick update on the status and tell people about it so that everybody knows what to expect as opposed to being dissapointed when they don't get the results they are expecting.

When the vod was over, Youtube jumped to game 1 of IdrA vs. Tester. This is obviously a bad spoiler, and that aside, it doesn't make any sense to watch the games in that order. Someone might want to look into that. | ||

Most people expected the vods to be up within one day and after several days of expecting the same thing and not having it they eventually started to complain about it. But this is only due to the inaccuracy of their expectations as opposed to the actual facts. I believe "a day or so" can mean one or two days. It could even mean three days. That is why the estimate was "a day or so" and not "a day." To prevent future misunderstandings, I present this handy chart: American Measurements of Duration
The VODs would have been posted on Monday (2 days after event) but due to a uploading error, they were posted on Tuesday, (3 days after the event). So even assuming the strictest interpretation of "a day or so," viewers were only deprived of the VODs for at most 24 hours. Additionally, I believe given the general track record for tournaments uploading VODs, what happened was completely within the bounds of acceptability, especially since we gave an update stating that there was an uploading issue. For example, Proleague VODs often take 2-3 days to be uploaded. So just proper information and notifications of the status that you guys are at will do wonders. If it takes a day, say it will take a day, if one week, say one week, if you expect a day and some problems occur, just make a quick update on the status and tell people about it so that everybody knows what to expect as opposed to being dissapointed when they don't get the results they are expecting. This is what we did. In fact, posting VODs three days later is perfectly OK for "a day or so" and I believe users making posts like "are they ever going to be up?" and proclaiming our estimate to be a mistake are definitely whining. In sum, we posted our VODs 3 days after the event, and we informed everyone about a technical delay. I believe you are blowing this incident out of proportion and I do not understand why you must complain about such a sequence of events. However, as much as I wish to simply dismiss you with a short "quit whining," I feel it is necessary to explain what happened and why our actions were not unreasonable. Now, let's focus on the more important things like the actual games themselves or the sponsor that made this possible. Please stop talking about this. | ||

People will complain no matter what you do, just look at the HDH thread, people were whining about the broadcast being delayed and as soon as games were broadcast people were bitching about no vods being uploaded and even now that the vods have been posted people are still bitching about not having replays. The whining will never stop. | ||

It was not a "whining", as you call it, nor an offensive point a view, I was simply explaining the reason why people complained. It makes me cautious about trying to further state logical point of views. You know, Starcraft is popular in South Korea, not North Korea. User was warned for this post | ||
