Either way, they should be recorded and ready to go for next week. I thought you couldn't view replays without authenticating to B.net now tho? (right before the beta servers came up for 2nd phase I remember there being an error message about not being able to validate with battle.net when you drag and dropped a replay onto the sc2.exe) only way I can think to do it is to do the casts in advance and just play them during the week. Whatev, hopefully Day's got it figured out. | ||

He is also very good with Zerg, but his protoss play is not quite there when compared to the likes of White-ra. This was clear in the HDH tournament. It's too bad he can't just random between Terran + Zerg. I understand that Protoss is his weakest as displayed in the HDH, but for me a Random player at this level of game-play is rare. That was what made his games most appealing. It was a player demonstrating skillful execution of all 3 races. I have a lot of respect for TLO regardless if he plays random or selects Terran. His creativity speaks for itself and he definitely knows how to put on a show for us. But again I missed having the Random presence in tournaments and was disappointed when he switched to Terran. I hope this is a sign that he is switching back to random for good in tournaments. | ||

Us random players need representation too and he was a shining inspiration for us. Go TLO!! Oh come on. As people get better and better at SC2 playing random becomes too difficult when you have to play 3x the matchups of everyone else. There is a reason not a single BW pro is random. I do not know if TLO wishes to become a progamer or something, but I do know he wants to win these tournaments and money, and picking a race is practicing the three match-ups instead of nine allows for that. Don't be a hater just because he wants a chance to win money. | ||

You said we "really really can't wait for these games." Is that because we cannot wait for them as they won't happen? What's the deal brother-man? | ||

So, I have a few questions from an outsider-perspective: 1. Is it possible to watch the games in this tournament without getting up at 3 am to watch them live. Replays won't help me. Will they be casted on youtube or something like it? 2. There are a lot of games in the calendar, but I never know whether and where it will be streamed. Where can I find out? 3. In game: What happens, if you shoot at one of these animals, which are now new on the map. Like these "calws". Do they attack? Stupid question, but I'm curious and neither a streaming player does it nor can I try on my own.  | ||

2. You mean all tournaments and not just this one right? Because in this one they are all indicated on the opening post. I just keep an eye on the SC2 Tourney forum. Almost all of them will have a thread there and it gets bumped more and more as the day gets closer. 3. Somewhere out there, a mommy Ursadon cries critter tears. | ||

3. . Now I feel really bad. I think I would just poke him with a scv. Just to try, if he reacts. | ||

Whatev, hopefully Day's got it figured out. You can drag replays over to SC2Switcher and watch them without authenticating. The problem was "ghost patch 16" at the end of beta phase I made any older version of the game crash when doing this. Dragging and dropping currently works for all games and I believe the games have been played out. So Day9 probably has his Starcraft Version 20.x game backed up somewhere ready to start loading replays on Sunday!. Additionally I believe it the finals will be live casted at his party, so it being prerecorded is unlikely. | ||

The videos will be on day9's bliptv www.day9tv.blip.tv and on day9's youtube www.youtube.com/day9tv when he gets around to it 2. There are several sites that does pure starcraft programmings. My favorite is www.casualbase.com 3. They are purely critters and completely defenseless. Just don't shoot at the panda bear guy. | ||
