They were plagued with bad casting/late vods/lack of coverage and many other things that shouldn't happen in a planned and organized tournament. There was so many walkover and no-shows (and I don't remember that happening at all in TSL) and that showed the players didn't really care that much either... Actually we had one W/O in the whole tournament  it was Dreiven when he was at the BBQ lol | ||

He then said "oh lol sorry i was getting drunk at bbq brb", came online and won his games. That's where he got his nick name BBQ Toss. Maybe im forgetting something about that though. | ||

I agree that most of the latest contents should be thought through better, but just sitting there throwing shit around, namecalling etc just strikes me as petty and lame. Why not use some of your experience to help other "new" tournements succeed, instead of just bashing on them. If you read the SC2GG Starleague thread, I helped all I could, and I think they took a lot of the advice even though the coverage and stuff flamed out towards the end. But they did not even shoot me a single PM asking for any help before they went ahead and launched a project with very poor planning. A lot of the issues they had could have been fixed if they spent 10 minutes talking to me or Kennigit. It is not our job to ask others "hey are you running a starleague today, do you mind me looking over the newspost?" It's their responsibility to go seek advice, and foolish of them (they as in anyone who runs a poor tournament) to not spend just 10 minutes talking to people who have experience in it. That said, not everyone can be successful running their first tournament. I think GOL, SC2GG, and even ASL will improve greatly if they ever run a second one. | ||

It was during Ro32, which was dual tournament style (mini-double elim between 4 players with 2 advancing). Dreiven missed his opening Bo3, but proceeded to advance as 2nd from his group anyway, the results of that group were: Squall 2-1 Advokate Kr 2-0 (W.O) Dreiven Winners: Squall 0-2 Kr --> Kr advances to TSL Losers: Advo 1-2 Dreiven Winner/Loser: Squall 0-2 Dreiven --> Dreiven advances to TSL | ||

It started so well. It was the first try, and you learn some things from that. Having a $10000 prize also helps prevent no-shows. Being part of something people care about also helps. The TL-centric attitude of things helps TL and creates a, "Well, it's not TL, whatever!" sort of response. It doesn't help the other places. We'll try again, that's for sure. Things will be run better the next time. Hot_Bid doesn't lie, btw. It'd be nice if everyone stopped being a douche to each other. Maybe that's what the future will hold. BTW, the Wikipedia thing is pretty cool. Good job. | ||
