I sent him a PM, I'll let you know what comes of it.

So, I was told that *if* we are going to have an internet stream, we can be listed on the calendar. So, Drogith or Ryan, let me know if either of you intend on streaming matches. How much bandwidth would you need? I assume something around 1Mbps up is enough?

I plan on streaming and tbh we only need about 500kpbs each. In the Total Biscuit tutorial he says that is fine for good streaming.

I sent the info off, so hopefully we'll get listed on the calendar soon. Thanks for handling the commentating/streaming, guys!

Be prepared in case you end up streaming a game of mine. "Ok he's... he's.... what the heck is he doing? Did he just medivac drop a viking army?"

Aww... don't ruin it for me. Maybe someone will have fun and do some proxy MS for me. I need asome more matches like that since I... forgot to save the replays from the fun ones last tourn. They are still stored on my stream, but man... those things live were great.

Just want to say I am way stoked for the tournament. I'm looking back on the last few pages of comments and it sounds like you guys are doing a lot to help accommodate things and make this a better experience. Just want to say I appreciate it. I'm excited to play and I'll have fun, regardless of what it's on or how the setup goes and even if I lose my first two matches. I'm sure it will still be a fun experience.

I was just kidding, I'm not gonna medivac my vikings  Maybe a mass scv drop though.... hmmm

I would imagine with the new monitor situation he would still want to be a part of this. We don't have confirmation of widescreen monitors yet. . You're volunteering to bring two of the same res, but I still need to work out the other two. While I would hope that we can get two more at 1440x990, I want to make sure before committing to that promise. Nobody forced Catreina to leave... he said if he could not bring his own PC he would leave. Well, we certainly are not having a BYOC event, no matter how the monitor situation ends up.
1) *She
2) I never said anything about bringing my computer being a deciding factor. It is the lack of widescreen for those of us who have done everything widescreen for many years. Going back to a 4:3 res is like asking me to play Brood War when I havent touched it in 8 years. There will be loss of skill.

Anyhow, to quote you word for word-

Perhaps you made a mistake in your wording and meant to say "Monitor" and not PC?

I think she clearly states that she is angry about losing the aspect ratio... Im pretty sure just kicking her out of the tournament without asking her first was kind of a dick move. But im guessing you already replaced her and now will have to let someone else down so... They can both hate you? idunno. lol. What you get for not asking before hand.

just open to a 64 person bracket? most likely wont get filled but then anyone who wants to can still play, and would re-admit catreina in now that the monitor issues are getting figured out

MyLife, drop the attitude or you're out.

Don't kick MyLife out then how will I get my sweet sweet revenge. And by revenge I mean of course ass handed to me again.

The actual intent of that post you quoted was because of the lack of widescreen support - I figure if a lan center doesnt have widescreen monitors, then their computers are likely garbage (read: over 2 years old) as well. I can deal with playing on lower quality settings. I cannot deal with playing on a shit 4:3 monitor.
In short, it was meant as a "If there are no decent monitors, then I wont play unless it is on my own pc" post.
MyLife - I can handle my own, and I willingly dropped because of the lack of widescreen monitors. Now, mind you, I -could- bring two 1440x900 resolution gateway monitors for use, but that would require that I stay the entire time, whether I was in or out.
I dunno, if resolutions on the video cards support widescreen (they are old computers I presume), then maybe I will ask to be re-listed. That would not likely be fair to the people who were waiting however.
