(A player could have his friends watch the livestream and then talk to them on vent). Until livestream implements a delay system, we can't "live" livestream it. But we can "replay" livestream it. As long as the audience doesn't know the results its the same either way.  | ||

As long as the audience doesn't know the results its the same either way. No replays on stream please ... live is 10x more exciting to watch. Also don't forget how easily results can get spoiled in SC2, because last 5 games are recorded on players accounts. It happened in GosuCup when the chat was spammed with the result of Demuslim - Raven before they started the match. Seriously now, name me one player in that list, whom you think might be cheating by watching the stream and also think the viewers/admins are dumb enough not to figure it out ... why would anyone risk to get banned from future SC2 tournaments and be hated forever by starcraft comunity? Don't show replays on stream just because there's 0.01% chance players will cheat, and 0.01% they won't get caught. I hope you think about this and make it a great event <: | ||

* TheLittleOne made a believer out of me after his TLI Game 2 play vs Liquid'Nazgul - he makes it fun to watch a top-level player utilize the Random option. I know that I want him to win through just to see what he will come up with next. * Idra may be BM, but he has serious skills, and is not to be counted out prematurely. Not my favorite player, but I respect his ability to play the game at the level he does. *Lzgamer is just plain fun to watch. I have ot admit I am partial to Terran players, but his games make for some of the most entertaining replays. *WhiteRa seems (to me anyway) to be dominating, and I can't wait to see him clash against Jinro. That this match is happening makes me excited for the rounds to start by itself. * Day[9] ...seriously. His commentaries are like taking a high-level SC class. I feel like I should be scribbling notes as I watch. I don't know enough about Tasteless, but the chatter here makes this sound like a Game of the Tourney contender even before it starts. * CauthonLuck / KawaiiRice - more Terran goodness for me to pour over until I can get my copy of SC2 (barring some insane luck and getting a beta key in the interim). I personally have no issue with how HD and Husky put together the brackets, as it is their tournament and these are the decisions that go part and parcel with that. For good or ill, they made the choice and I will respect that. These are top shelf players being given a very fast stage to showcase their skills and mechanics. As a viewer, I am beyond ready for the matches to start. /my $.02 //Bring on the HDH! | ||
