BIG credit to red_ice82


Dear participants, please send me your account links from http://sc2ranks.com/ !


Hello dear TL.net community. I saw a thread in the beta, when someone tried to gather all casters to do an little tournament against each other.. My friend "good old" DalaiLameR had the idea to revive this topic and influenced me on the groundrules:

- 16 Casters shall participate
- I like the IEM system, so i think its a nice idea to do an exact copy of it.
- There shall not be a fix schedule, but it would be nice to have every game as public as possible. So games have to be announced here at time!
- There is no pricemoney, we play for the ladys!
- Every caster has to cast themselves while playing! This will be very distracting, being silent is for wussies! So grab the caster gear and train hard xD
- I hope you will record your games and upload them on youtube, blip or whatever the caster uses.

I am ready for signups, but its tough to draw a line who is a caster and who is not. So for now this tournament lives with the community as every caster does:

After the groups are set in stone, I please djWHEAT to use his official IEM bowl to draw the group settings. <3. Afterwards we use the whole september to play our matches. I want to have an daily updated matchticker in the OP. Every participant has to have 1 game until september the 30th, two games until september the 7th and all three at september the 14th.

Please note, that groups are still not set for sure. I hope for more artwort of the fans <3


Okay thats the general idea, I hope I get some feedback and pimp topic and tournament these days a little.

Groups are set. Maybe a video will follow, but we want to start this asap.

TRUMP (T)


Rules: + Show Spoiler +

1. Tournament
The tournament is a copy of the IEM system. There will be 4 groups of 4 players each. I will create and upper and an lower, maybe a medium pool, but probably i just create groups to set some cool matches like you demand, to be sure that they will happen. The best 2 of each group advance. Then a single eleminstion bo5 round starts. We do not need to do bo7 finals I guess, but we could extend anything on demand.

2 Maps
I will seed the first map, every other map is loosers choice. There can be custom maps for the first map, so feel free to post and send suggestions! (Note that we still want to play serious Starcraft 2).
2.1 Mappool:
(2) Steppes of War. (2) Scrap Station, (2) Blistering Sands, (2) Xel'Naga Cavern, (4) Metalopolis, (4) Lost Temple, (4) Delta Quadrant

3. Schedule
There is no schedule set so far and I do not want to pressure anyone. We won't split the games into groupdays and I do not want to have any match overlapping with another. So, when the groups are set, every caster gets a deadline to play his games and announce the time and space here. When someone can not find free time, he need to be DQed. (Well, lately we call it "QQed", right?)

4. Casting
Every caster casts himself on his stream and records the games to upload them afterwards on his Youtube, blip, whatever - Account. That means that you are talking all the time. The idea of 15 seconds silence = DQ is very strict, but please be a caster in game, otherwise we really need to replay games.

5. to be continued

at glhf.tv people in chat had a better idea some time ago.

A dual cast of Da9 vs Tastless doing a BO7

Meaning: How to keep it interesting to the viewer without revealing too much strategy.
Of course too much offtopic discussion wouldn't be allowed .

I believe Psy has casted himself playing before, so he's definitely capable of doing it. Of course having Day9 would be awesome. Maybe Chill and DJ Wheat too?

Great! It was about time; people often requested such tourney. And Amen for the IEM system, hope to see it implemented more often (groups + playoffs = most fun). PsyStarcraft is probably favorite.

Please do this Chill. Please.

Great idea btw.

EDIT: I consider Gretorp a player more than a caster. Also he would bop everyone way too easily, though that might add to the entertainment (TLOwnage type thing with self-commentary? yes please).

What was the BigT vs BiggerT deal? I heard about it on one of DJwheat's weapon of choice casts in which chill made a plug for ChoboPeon's SCcenter show. Couldn't find what he was talking about tho and didn't want to go through 2 weeks of old news.

Forsti, I think you need to clarify something. Is the tournament for people, who usually cast other players' games (like Day9, etc.) or for people, who cast their own games while playing (Gretorp, Nony, and so on)?

We talking PSY the zerg player or PSY as in me? A lot of people confuse us cause of the similar spelling so make sure you specify Psy as in psyonic_reaver or PsY the zerg. =p

I've casted and played before. It's fun but it can be draining depending on how long the game goes. If more interesting people sign up then put them before me but I am interested in this.
So wait? I'm bad? =(

Rofl. Yes, TotalBiscuit. NAO!!

Honestly though, if both casters are casting their own half of the game, then what will the viewer listen to?
Both of them talking over each other?
Or are they going to dual-cast (This would ruin any cheese and give away builds).

Edit: Re-reading the OP, it looks like there would be two sets of games, one from each perspective.

Lol i had this idea XD except i had the idea that it should be cast by players.
Another thing is that the casting will be REALLY crap if they cast while playing, i think that they should play then cast the replay.
Good luck XD

Well Artosis can't lose if he played in this, neither could Day[9] if Artosis didn't play.

Nice idea though and looking forward to it.

EDIT: Oh and if those don't play Chill can't lose

A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

Whenever I encounter some little hitch, or some of my orbs get out of orbit, nothing pleases me so much as to make the crooked straight and crush down uneven places. www.day9.tv

the only problem i see is how you gonna get all the ppl on kinda one stream? cause making them all play on their own stream is kinda unpractical for the viewers who will have to switch streams every game and for every gamer/caster.

but thats more of a technical issue.

Nono, every caster shall cast on his stream. This shall not be a one day tournament, so you will find upcoming games here and/or in the TL.net calendar.

Lol DjWheat

This will be great hopefully Day9 and Tasteless can make it, but then again, they're both busy

edit: I want to suggest to put some Community made maps to mappool (maybe iccup maps?) because players aren't good (except day9 and tasteless, but I doubt they'll make it) and map balance at plat-low diamond isn't big. I think we're all tired of same old maps+ it promotes map mapking

Just a suggestion...

I have to admit, I'm pretty intimidated by getting to play against the likes of Day9 and such. I'm honored though, and I guess I better practice up on my comedy casting skills.

I'm curious what more people prefer in this setting, comedy, play-by-play, analysis? A mix?

I imagine Day9 or some of the more popular casters will probably get most of the viewers. :-(

Yes, Vods will be on youtube, although I meant more directed to livestream viewers. Hopefully we can make the commentaries entertaining enough to warrant people watching the same game twice!

If you are looking for custom maps, Morrow has quite a few maps that I casted an event for, just some pro's playing friendly games on them.

What is Trump doing on that list? He doesn't cast any games in the sense that the others on the list do. He's simply a player that streams his own games and talks about it.

We might aswell get Gretorp and Response in it then?

AND COMBAT_EX.

You really need to get BigT though

Wait wait wait. You say you listen to the fans but I get picked over by a bunch of randoms? Guess I'm not as cool as I thought. *cries* On my old channel for iccup I had a bunch of things I've casted saved in the archives, but it's all gone now with the channel change but I can assure you, I am a very active caster.

I'm a caster. Same as you. I was with ICCup...After all..I did cast the ITC, the first original one..and helped do all the planning for it, for a while. I also continued to cast with various other groups and people. Such as the KitCat tournament and the Sc2tourneys.com 8/8/10 Tournament #1 $50 for first. I also joined Ragequit Tv for their 48 hours for minerals and helped cast a bit there. I also use to join the brent and kenny show..I did the Minerva tournament and continue to do casts and I am currently working on 2 more tournaments for the community. So how am I a nobody or not a caster? It says in the op a caster known by the TL community...and I did post quiet a bit before you guys. However if you all asked nicely, I might be willing to not play so someone more well known can play. However, at the moment..I continue to be interested in this tournament and hope the tournament moderate will allow me to play. I can show what I have done, maybe its just not constant enough for your liking Ryan..I'm sorry. I am trying to improve that. I just got a new pc. So hopefully I can do commentary more often. ^^

Hey Ryan, its no problem at all. I just didn't want you to think I was just trying to over step my area or something. So I felt you deserved an explaination. I'm sorry if there were any misunderstandings. Oh goodness, I'd rather forget the minerva at this point. ^^ It was quiet a mess. Thats why I am working on other tournaments in the future that will be much better for sure. Btw, how are you?

I love the idea for the tournament; it sounds like a lot of fun! I think this should be extended to more casters. 24,28, or 32 could work with an IEM setup. Lots of great casters in it but there are still some good casters that aren't in it. I think the every match should be at least bo3 so that the casters who get roflstomped early on can still cast a good number of games. I also agree there should be a rule with how often a person must talk to not get disqualified while playing . I'm looking forward to this baby.

Maybe there should be a deadline for casters to accept and then a poll for the public to choose? It seems like that might help to clear up some of the issues with which casters get in.

no hurry, i get messages like every second and it was a really tough decision to exclude trump for now, which made me sad. i just forgot about you because of that. please do not be upset so fast. i'd love to have a 16 people tournament but its so tough to draw a line!

I'm guessing the best players are day9 and Artosis. But day9 can talk so much, he gets distracted.

Does this mean that every match will have 2 separate cast from each side? Or they both will cast together and talk while killing each others?

At this point, it's rather clear who would probably will this tournament with guys like tasteless, artosis, day9.

I'm just excited to get to know some more of the casters, play some competitive games, and give more back to the community! Can't wait.

3 other players i'd like to see play, are Mahk, Crota, and Joshsuth!

Can only use people known by the TL.net community...

Trump has 1400+ viewers on his stream at all times. More than pretty much all of the other stream viewers combined at any given time.

I have to admit, I'm with Raelcun on this. If we start including the streamers, virtually any pro player with a stream can play. Let's get people who have casted for youtube vods, tournaments, or show matches.

Oh, I didn't realize it was meant to be casted "on the fly". Wow, this is going to make it so much more interesting (but also harder to play). Can't wait to see it!

I know he isn't a major TL goer, but I think SaharaDrac would make an excellent addition to this tournament if a spot opens up. He is quite awesome.

Also, kind of a random fanboy of the week shot in the dark, but maybe TakeSen?

Great idea btw.

EDIT: I consider Gretorp a player more than a caster. Also he would bop everyone way too easily, though that might add to the entertainment (TLOwnage type thing with self-commentary? yes please).


Haha YES BiggerT gogogo!

Can the outcome of the match somehow be influenced by the quality of cast? Say someone (just picking 2 names at random) like trump beats tasteless but trumps cast was boring and tasteless' cast was hilarious so the casting skills trump the in game outcome.

if that happened, (imo), everyone would just vote for their favorite caster and lesser known casters would have no chance against the more popular casters

He will just invite caster into the skype call so we could get the audio. This way we would see a whole battle situation.

I think the point of the tournament is that the caster has to cast himself continuously while he himself is playing. This is multitasking extreme and what makes this tournament probably one of the best. We get to see the VODs after. Otherwise it might as well be any other tournament out there. This is a test of playing while casting

This is the best place for a 'Chill vs BigT' match I can imagine.
Making them cast while playing will be great
You should seed it so casters of similar rank meet in the first round. (aside from the BigT vs BiggerT match)

By "popular demand" if you can call it that, I'll play if there's room. Can you add me to the roster?

Edit: Oh, we don't use youtube, I'm assuming that's not a problem.
Edit2: And please get BigT in and rig the brackets to be Chill vs BigT first, ty.
Edit3: If the bracket is full, which it seems to be, I'll offer to stream for people. I know some people have to play windowed mode (like me) which is really dreadful. I'll gladly just stream video and have the caster join on skype so he can commentate and play fullscreen.

IMO Debo and Destiny should be invited. Both are consistent streamers / self commentators since beta with a good amount of viewers. They will also provide for some good comedy / entertainment.

Pretty sure most of us will be putting up vods of any livestreams we do.

Personally i work during the day, so i know the frustration of not being able to catch some livestreams.

So an annoying little creature by the name of Neobowman linked this to me.

I guess I can try this. I'm ok at the game and people can never stop telling me how much I suck at commentating. So I guess I can give it a shot.
For those of you not aware I've been casting for two years.

I can stream and record at the same time, though I'm not as well known in the SC community as a lot of the other names I have seen in the list, I would still love to be a part of this tournament. I am easily more of a caster than a player, just ask any of the guys that were at the NE SC2 LAN last weekend.

Please, for the love of god, get saharadrac in here.

I would cream myself. He's been putting out content on youtube since the very beginning of beta and was part of day9's launch party. The "drunk std guy".

He is very entertaining.

No you cant have lz or gretorp in this. They are players who just talk while they play all the time anyway. It be too easy for them. That said this is going to be funny as hell.

I hope gretorp can get in this. He actually provides good input as a caster and doesn't just say what everyone can see already.

Crota (aka BlizShouter) and EximoSua2 (aka SaharaDrac) had signed up on the previous page and on the one before that, yet I don't see them added to the list yet. They might not be that popular overall at Teamliquid itself, but they had put out a lot of quality content for their youtube channels as well as for SCLegacy's channel since the start of the beta, so I hope they'll get added to the list.

Maybe the bracket could be extended beyond 16? Feels like one could fill up a whole bracket of 32 with notable sc2 casters.

Just set the in game resolution to 1920x1080 and tell your graphics card to not scale the image! Sure, you will get get black bars on the top and bottom, but it's what I have to do with my 16:10 Samsung because of the rendering in SC2. Would love to see you in the tournament.

right, i did not add some people so far, just because they areprobably no tournament casters. i am not sure, but probably i throw them into the streamer pool.

Awesome idea. I'm sure a large part of the TL community wants to see the casters duke it out! I kinda wish there would be a prize pool to reward them, though, since playing and providing entertaining commentary is quite a bit of work, but you can't have everything. Maybe in the future~
Would love to see the big casters like Day[9], Tasteless, Artosis, HD, Husky join up in this, but I'll watch regardless -- the lineup is already looking pretty good.

so yea if you like to watch starcraft 2 and you like to laugh. Then you need some saharadrac up in here. Dude knows what is what when it comes to entertainment. Yea having them them analitical guys talking about them analitical things its nice but sometimes you just need a good laugh. so top choice is saharadrac, hell you can even have him do it in his mauraders voice. DAMN MAN WHY THIS STACKER GOTTA SHOOT ME IN MY BALLS IN SHIT. some funny stuff.

Cool that you decided to play, but I think the moderators have to prepare themselves for a LOT of flame, because HDH aren't exactly that popular in TL. Just look at the MLG Thread, when HD said he played 1 Game / Week, people are looking for every tiny bit to, so they can flame about it^^

2 main issues:

1. Gretorp should not be in, he is a professional gamer and should not compete against casters.

2. Day9 is necessary, can't start without him.

I love this idea. We'll see if the casters can handle talking while playing! At least everyone has a chance as gretorp is streaming instead of fighting. ^^

I'm kinda glad day9 isn't in this actually. Being that he's actually a SC pro with multiple wcg us championships under his belt, more than a caster, the tournament probably wouldn't end up being too interesting with him dominating everyone

That was in the past. I doubt he would win against Gretorp or even Psystarcraft as he is more of a caster than player atm.

The point of this is to involve all the casters that are contributing to the community. Day9 is definitely one of those people, whether or not he is considered a pro. To exclude the most popular caster because he is also extremely good at starcraft is kind of a slap in the face.

To assume he couldn't make the games he plays/casts interesting is silly. Pretty sure he could scale his play against certain opponents to make things interesting if he wanted to.

Well, count me as well; I just finally created an account here on TL for the express purpose of voting for SaharaDrac. I've been following all of his casts, and he definitely has his own (hliarious) style, and I would love to hear him cast himself live. I should also mention the other casters I subscribe to JoshSuth (AskJoshy) and Husky.

Proposal for rule change:

Casters must cast and commentate as they play each match, live. The cast quality is then rated by viewers, and this is factored in along with Win/Loss as to who advances.

we had this around 5 pages ago and i am afraid that it comes down to a fanbase comparison. So we stick with the skill for this time.

From the first post:

- There shall not be a fix schedule, but it would be nice to have every game as public as possible. So games have to be announced here at time!

This tournament needs more SaharaDrac.

Also, as a rule I would love that casters be required to commentate their play using the third person, e.g. "as you can see, the blue terran is moving out with a small force and... he gets annihilated. What a noob"

How come I don't see HD in the signup list?

Also, why exactly is PsyStarcraft in the streamer list? He mostly casts replays of games on YT. Less tournaments and more laddergames, sure, but to my knowledge he doesn't even have a stream. He's in the streamer batch cause he's good?

I am so sorry for being a one post SaharaDrac fan... But I would really like him to participate, it would make things so funny. He balances humour and tactics in a very pleasant way. Thanks.

I'll also add one for saharadrac. You may remember him for accidentally embarrassing day9 at the beta countdown party. He's a damn entertaining casters, one of the handful I watch without fail. The fact he doesn't stream shouldn't be held against him.
Saying what we think gives us a wider conversational range than saying what we know.

I'm fucking sick of TL and all the bitching about casters. Whenever there's a thread about casters an army of people I wouldn't call part of this community come to play martyr and bitch about their favourite caster. Worse than that is the actual casters coming in to do it themselves. Humility seems to be dead.

Please take me out of this event I don't want to be associated with this.

Do you know what a martyr is?

Also, put me down as a vote for Debo: great player, great stream, and always yelling the N-word, what more could you ask for?

i got 24 signups. there will be a 8 ppl player grid and a 16 ppl castergrid. i check some accounts to be sure that all really strong players are in the playergrid, so we can see epic caster-selfcasting finals. the winners of both grid will have a "super bawl", making sure who has the super bawls.

I poke chill again, because he is actually my favorite caster in this lineup, but maybe the whole young sc2 scene.

I don't feel like reading all the pages again, but where the heck does it say in the OP to post a video on your youtube channel telling all your viewers to go post on TL and vote for you to play? It says, drag your favorite caster here to sign up. All these people new to the TL community making new accounts to vote for you is weird. All you had to do was post as yourself and sign up.

Chill ignore their garbage. I want you in this tournament. It would be fun to have the chance to play a caster like you :-) In case you are ignoring this thread now, i'm gonna PM you too.

I can't speak for the other new posters, but I'm not entirely new to the TL community. I've been using the site and lurking since March, and I probably visited occasionally when I played BW years ago too. I made an account because Sahara isn't as well known as other casters I like who are pretty much guaranteed to be in this.

I don't check all the boards obsessively, and so I'm glad Sahara did alert his viewers to this particular thread as I would have missed it before the deadline. In fact, I would say he would have done his viewers a disservice had he not made the announcement because a lot of us really enjoy his particular style of casting and feel it would add something different to this tourny.

EDIT: It should also be noted that Sahara didn't post a video to specifically tell all his viewers to vote for him here. It was a 15 second announcement (among a couple others) at the start of a cast.

I just don't think asking, verbally, during a commentary, for less than 10 seconds, for my viewers to come help me out (when the OP of the tourney explicitly says casters will be picked by if people request them...) is wrong or bitching or martyrdom or whatever other completely non-sensical words were chosen...I mean, I said "hey guys, this tourney looks really fun, and I'd love to be in it, stop by the thread and let them know if you wanna see me in it." That's it. How is that a big deal?

I don't understand where your anger is coming from exactly, unless I missed part of the thread.

I suggested SaharaDrac for this when the thread was first made because he is genuinely an entertaining caster. I didn't personally see any youtube video insisting that I do so.

Sahara has been producing content since the very beginning of beta in the exact same fashion as HD and Husky, except he provides commentating in a less accessible manner than HD and Husky (as he is geared more towards adults), and thus is less popular in terms of viewer volume. He has been part of the sc2 community since the start, whether he frequents TL or not.

All these people new to the TL community making new accounts to vote for you is weird. All you had to do was post as yourself and sign up.

Worse than that is the actual casters coming in to do it themselves. Humility seems to be dead.


As a matter of fact, SaharaDrac posted in this thread to sign up when the list was almost empty. He was completely and utterly ignored. When the tournament admin made a post about not wanting streamers, but rather casters, he explained that he was a caster.
If you've ever watched any of Sahara's commentaries, you'd know just by hearing him speak that arrogance is not present in his personality.

Sure, if expressing his desire to participate on youtube, in the face of being ignored by the tournament admin, leads to a bunch of new accounts being made by "Non-TLers" to show their support for him, it might be considered a bit silly.
However, I feel it is far worse to allow rampant elitism to prevent an excellent supporter of the starcraft 2 scene like Sahara from being given a warm welcome to Team Liquid, which is what's happened here.

Crota (aka BlizShouter) and EximoSua2 (aka SaharaDrac) had signed up on the previous page and on the one before that, yet I don't see them added to the list yet. They might not be that popular overall at Teamliquid itself, but they had put out a lot of quality content for their youtube channels as well as for SCLegacy's channel since the start of the beta, so I hope they'll get added to the list.


right, i did not add some people so far, just because they areprobably no tournament casters. i am not sure, but probably i throw them into the streamer pool.


I like Saharadrac. During beta before my invite, I watched all his casts.

Forsti gave his reasoning why he hadn't added ANYONE else to the lists, because he was figuring out details, like who will go in what division, and how many people were gonna compete.

There was only about 24 hours or less between Saharadrac signing up all of these people pouring in to 'vote'. Give Forsti time to figure stuff out, hes organizing/running this on his own time. That's the only part I thought was rude. Sorry if it came off as a personal attack.

First, you don't understand what martyrdom is in terms of forums. Martyrdom is suffering for your cause, ie. proclaiming you will be banned for your views. There's nothing wrong with withdrawing from an event because you don't like how it is going.

Secondly, Never_GG organized an event and then canceled it because she didn't like how someone talked to her. I haven't organized anything here, so you should easily be able to see the situations aren't the same.

You're staying in this tourney Chill, if not for yourself, do it for your fans!!!!

Don't be so selfish! You and DJwheat are the only big personalities in that list and it'd suck to see more randoms take your place.

To be frank, it was said that the casters should be known by the general TL public.. but that would leave us with like 50% of that caster list as far as I can tell..Just beacuse they have a youtube page and streams tournies on regular basis it doesn't automaticly make them known or appreciated by TLs users.

For future events it'd be great if the tourney was smaller, 8 spots and more "stacked" and known casters. For example

HD, Husky, Chill, DJWheat, Day9, Artosis, Tasteless and Psyonic/Totalbiscuit.

I think those would ring a bell in any TL users ears. It would make for more entertaining matches and casts beacuse you know the casters much more than the other ones. They also all have really big personalities which helps.

So that means the newer casters that haven't gotten the airtime/publicity that some have, aren't appreciated? So you are saying there should only be those 8 or 9 casters and the rest can pretty much crawl in a corner and die?

Tell me, which of those casters you listed, would even take a second glace at some of these smaller tournaments with smaller prize pools? None. Who will cast those tournaments and help promote esports? Nobody. Oh wait. Yes. Casters like myself, makh, joshsuth, and others, put our time on the line to help the community, but shouldn't be recognized for it? Hmm. Sounds like you don't want esports or the SC2 community to grow.

It sounds like you two are talking about two completely different things. The former is that the tournament should be household TL names, and the latter is that some people have earned a spot to be in this tournament.

What are you even talking about? I dont give a fuck about people "deserving" to be this tourney beacuse they've done alot work for minor tournies. It was stated that it should be casters known by the general TL public.. and most of these are not.

This isn't some best caster rewards 2010 event where all your hard work is rewarded. Its a tourney for TL.nets household caster to put on a good show for their fans..

I dunno why you make yourself look like some sort of victim just beacuse you as a new caster don't get the same attention as the veterans in the starcraft scene.. it is what it is. I'm just stating what would make it the most fun and exciting tourney for the general TL users..no offense to all you lesser known, hard working casters out there.

So that means the newer casters that haven't gotten the airtime/publicity that some have, aren't appreciated? So you are saying there should only be those 8 or 9 casters and the rest can pretty much crawl in a corner and die?

Tell me, which of those casters you listed, would even take a second glace at some of these smaller tournaments with smaller prize pools? None. Who will cast those tournaments and help promote esports? Nobody. Oh wait. Yes. Casters like myself, makh, joshsuth, and others, put our time on the line to help the community, but shouldn't be recognized for it? Hmm. Sounds like you don't want esports or the SC2 community to grow.

It sounds like you two are talking about two completely different things. The former is that the tournament should be household TL names, and the latter is that some people have earned a spot to be in this tournament.


I truly hate to get in to get in the middle of a the fight but didnt Henning save spots for those kinds of people? I know at first I saw reserved for people like Tasteless, Day[9], Artosis...Then I saw people demand people like you and HDH and so on...and then us, lesser known casters...threw our own 2 cents in to hope to have a chance in this tourny. So how was it not opened to TL house names first off? I really hate to come off as thought I am trying to pick sides, but do you really feel this is unfair?

If there is someone else you think that deserves a spot more, than a person already signed up on the list..Why not just say "I feel ___ would be better in this tournament than ___, do to the commitment to the Starcraft community."... Then again, maybe I am looking about this all at the wrong way... However, I really do hope you will participate in this tournament Chill. With that, I will end this post. Sorry for adding my two cents worth in.

@Tesla I think you are misreading Chill's post, or I could be... but in that case I'm right anyway XD. Anyway, it looked to me like Chill was just responding to someone complaining about not enough big names and too many of us little guys on the list.

Cant we get the show on the road already!!!

I thought this thing would be fun and simple to set up compared to other tournies???
The organiser sorts out who plays who and links the VODs (kinda simple really) while the casters do the rest basically (playing whilst casting n recording then uploading). Reward for the casters is self-promotion and a massive chance to get your name out there to those that dont know you. If casters dont want to do it/havnt got time etc then give their opponent a bye. I feel I might start losing interest in this soon if things arnt sorted.

Please Forsti.henning can you sort this out??? Get this thing moving please!!! This isnt gonna be another HDH2........ if you need help PM me or ask someone who has run a tournament before.

Btw to my knowledge Crota is a caster only. He has a youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/BlizShouter)

ZOMG.

Day9 should cast this just like how he casted Chill vs Combat-EX LOL


o.O That would make my year. To bad neither of them are on the roster

Wait, is it possible Combat-Ex could sign up for this and we could have a Chill vs Combat-Ex rematch?

Don't be so selfish! You and DJwheat are the only big personalities in that list and it'd suck to see more randoms take your place.

To be frank, it was said that the casters should be known by the general TL public.. but that would leave us with like 50% of that caster list as far as I can tell..Just beacuse they have a youtube page and streams tournies on regular basis it doesn't automaticly make them known or appreciated by TLs users.

For future events it'd be great if the tourney was smaller, 8 spots and more "stacked" and known casters. For example

HD, Husky, Chill, DJWheat, Day9, Artosis, Tasteless and Psyonic/Totalbiscuit.

I didn't say it wasn't open to household names. I don't feel it's unfair, but that post didn't talk about my opinion. I was just talking to the two sides to let them know they were kind of misunderstanding each other.

I feel like this thread is a disaster. I hope the organizer makes it a good event.

If anything I would say that this thread really is a testament to how SC2 gets people pumped up.

Shame to see you so turned off by that, I am sure noone means any disrespect to this community by coming to the thread with their input.

Oh! I see! My apologies! I can see I greatly misunderstood. Like I said before, I hate to get in the middle of such things but I was a bit confused. I hope that people will try work their differences out. As for the organizer, I am sure he will do a fantastic job. ^^ Thanks again for explaining, Chill.

Well clearly my post count makes me a TL noob but I would love to see this tourney happen, with purely team liquid "known" casters or not. Dunno what all the bitching is about. Whether people are new to the community or old members still makes them apart of the greater community no?

Thus ends another pointless random post bitching about bitching.

P.S. Sahara is an sc2 mangod, he is also a diamond something lvl player (not that that counts for alot at the moment) so if he is included all the better. Also due to this thread I've got a bunch more casters to check out so hurray for TL :D

This is a great idea, don't drag it down with arguments

The whole thing is (I am assuming) for fun and enjoyment of the game, it would be so counter-productive to argue about who is and isn't there and cause negativity.

I can't wait to see just about all of them play :D

Chill, unfortunately, whether you meant to or not, your complaint and withdrawal has just added twice as much drama to the thread. I didn't see what first prompted your outburst, but if you genuinely want this event to be successful you can be the bigger man and participate again.

In your first post in this thread, you seemed really pleased to be a part of this tourny. Why ruin that by letting a few posts get under your skin? A few gripes and fights in a thread aren't going to be make the actual event any less fun, but you not being there definitely will make it less fun for a lot of people.

//edit: it is truly a shame, that Rise will call it quits. He has always been my favourite caster and would be an awesome addition to this tourney.

TL.net vs Youtube: Battle of Entitlement

Why back in my day we just would have made the tournament bigger rather than trying to bump people out. The whole youtube rule is stupid imo seeing as how the Broodwar community has used a plethora of video delivery services, however since it stands it should be first come first server with no bumping.

Oh and to the newer youtube fans or youtube casters. Your commitment to the game and esports isn't questioned, it's just new. As such it's pretty BM to walk into someones "house" and talk about how their guests people don't want esports to grow especially when the house was built to do just that.

There is always someone ahead of you that has done more work, put in more effort, and interacted with the community more than you have. Like our Korean bretheren please show some humility.

That being said Gretorp is gonna bop some clowns ezpz cause talking and playing is his trademark (that and he's streets ahead of everyone else skill wise). He was doing what he does when most were piping music through their audio. Hell I even watched him hold a conversation with IdrA , the chat, and explain his gameplan while playing TvT on Destination.

P.S. Chill is fighting DJWheat for Weapon of Choice bragging rights he just doesn't know it yet. And no thor drops on lost temple this time please, for crying out loud chill it was his 2nd or 3rd game as Zerg and you went Thors? That's just mean man...just mean.

It still shows that you are expecting a PM from me but I have already sent a PM earlier. Is there anything else you need from me? Also will the streamers be just live casting these games as though they were a normal 3rd party observer and then posting on the respective channels?

exactly, that sort of i'm looking forward to. Every commentator with his own style talking some fun stuff and you can watch that from two different views. In my opinion, its a tournament of the community, to the community, for fun. So remember, dont get too serious.

like gathfox said. I really would like for the future to see SaharaDrac take his place as a shoutcaster ( one of the best in my opinion.).
Have fun playing

i think its a great idea to promote some well created community maps along with this tournament. On the one hand it is an opportunity for some maps/mapper to get known along with feedback included on the other it allows some more stuff to talk about for the casters.

Awesome idea, BUT Desert Oasis should be in the map pool, simply because many casters praise it as a map with interesting matches and because of this they should "feel the pain" themselves. I am pretty sure they have thought about lots of funky ideas there too.

hmmm. Forsti you should add that all casters should play as Random.

They need a knowledge of all races to cast games so that should be a must ;D

You can have knowledge about all three races without actually playing all three. That would be like saying a baseball announcer needs to play every position to be able to announce a game.

Very true. You also don't have to be diamond ranked to understand a lot of the tactics involved in playing the game. I consistently explain tactics to one of my friends and he is high plat while I am mid gold. He can just apply it a lot better.

not really. knowing what to do and actually doing it are two different things. how do you explain professional sport commentators who possess excellent knowledge but doesnt have playing experience at the top level? it certainly helps if you have but its not a requirement.

When are we going to get our groups set? Date for first match is set at the 19th... not that far away and I still don't know who I'm playing -.- if this doesnt happen soon can we push back the dates a little bit? I'm pretty busy with events going to be gone most of the weekend of the 25th covering a LAN in michigan.

The athletic ability to be a professional athlete is a lot different than playing starcraft at a very basic level. It is not hard to get into diamond league at all, and if you understand basic concepts you should be there already.

If you know what to do and aren't doing it you're just lazy.

That's a very simplified way of looking at things. There are hundreds of reason why someone isn't in diamond despite knowing what to do. Some actually have a life (yes shocking) and don't have that much time to practice, some are just terrible under pressure and while knowing beforehand what they should do in certain situation forgets or simply mishandles it from the stress, some just have a terrible memory or hand coordination and so on. You can't seriously argue that starcraft doesn't involve any kind of mechanical skills other than simple know-how? (Apm says hello).

no there is only one reason to not be in diamond- you dont bother to read the strategy forum to learn some BOs.
No one is saying you have to be 1500 pts diamond but if ure stuck in platinum you do not understand the game. At ALL.

I'm not sure how this discussion is getting into a thread about a fun tournament for casters - but this is an absolutely ridiculous comment.

Did you say read the SC2 strat forums 0.o ? I gave that section every chance in the world but if there is a weakest link in TL that is it. Most good players gave up on it forever ago aside from a random gem here and there.

Just for reference most of the best casters out there rarely play. They are too busy doing something.... wait what was it? O that's right! Casting...

Either way I'm actually sort of excited for this. Should be a fun time!

yes i'm sure a 4-gate only protoss at the top of diamond has a far better understanding of the game then a top platinum.

Very true. You also don't have to be diamond ranked to understand a lot of the tactics involved in playing the game. I consistently explain tactics to one of my friends and he is high plat while I am mid gold. He can just apply it a lot better.

i respectfully disagree. If you cant make it to diamond for any other reason then laziness you dont understand the game at all;(


I'm actually going to defend the last statement here by Sfydjklm. He said any reason "other" than laziness. So having a job, a wife, and a kid, are obviously not being lazy. If I spent every hour I was home and not sleeping, I'd have more than 2 hours a night to game and increase my skill dramatically. My my 3yr old would starve and I'd end up being divorced. And as a caster, I'd have to stop doing the commentary unless I start doing POV only.

Now on something another person mentioned. Could we get the brackets up? If I'm one of the ??? people, I would like to know for this weekend. Because the weekend after next (25/26th) I will be in Maine live-streaming a tournament on location and won't have time.

Can we cut the random arguing and get to the tournament? 4 days until the first deadline and theres no bracket yet... Like I requested previously if it does not come up today I want the deadlines to be moved back as I am usually casting at least one event a day -.-

actually, i realise sacarsm doesn't work on some people.

anyway i'll just say it straight up to avoid any confusion. your statement doesn't hold up by the fact that some people get to the top of diamond using just 1 BO. are you saying that player has better understanding of the game then lets say a top platinum with many BOs in his repertoire? yes he is still stuck in platinum because he makes silly mistakes and his macro isn't the best but that does not mean he is clueless.

Please stop arguing over pointless things. Go PM each other and have a silly argument where we don't have to watch. This thread is about a tournament.

SaharaDrac would be a nice addition - probably the most entertaining caster I've viewed, and I don't think he's half bad playing either.

Wysley gets like 40 views for a video at most. Wish they took the time to get more known casters. Ah well, I'll be rooting for Raelcun

I personally hate to say this..but is there anymore info henning? I have 3 more sc 2 tournaments I gotta plan. 1 for this month and 2 for October..plus an event I gotta plan for the radio station, ontop of everything else I gotta do. I hate to say it, same as other casters and people have said..but we all do have lives...sooo..At this rate..many of us wont be able to do anything. I know for fact I cant even pretend to play today or tomorrow. So please...any update at all?


Btw - to those who want to say you have to be in Diamond to do commentary..I dare any one of you..to keep up with half of the people on the list..Even pretend to be involved in the community as them..pretend to have the knowledge as they do...Then do the commentary, help the community, answer questions and host tournaments...All ontop of actually having a life. If you feel its sooo easy for us to have time to practice to be in diamond, please show us...Cause I will tell you right now..sometimes..People will bomb their placements..no matter how good they are..then never have time to ladder, but have time to know the races and do the commentary. There are tons of players, but sometimes..I wonder...are there truly enough casters? XD... Further more..let me ask you one more question...Have you ever bombed your placement matches just to laugh at people who couldnt keep up? So you could test off the wall stuff? Or maybe see the difference in skill level, play style and build orders between silver-gold-plat-diamond?...Hmm...well..thats something that casters do have a bit of knowledge on. So please give us a break if we arent all Diamond level. I for one am not Diamond level...but I only did my placement matches and was having a bad day..so I bombed them. lol..Anyhow............

Details plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz >.<

As a matter of fact, he posted his desire to participate very early in this thread and was completely ignored.
He mentioned for half a second in one of his videos on youtube that he really wanted to participate and was hoping people could show their support for him here.

I suggested that he should participate in the first few pages of this thread because I genuinely find him to be an extremely entertaining commentator. I was not directed here by a youtube video. I am very disheartened to see him get the treatment he has been getting from the TL community. He is a very humble and funny guy, he just suffers from being committed to a starcraft site other than this one.

This is why I'm especially upset about the way this tournament organizer has handled this thread and this tourney. ( I am Sahara BTW.)

What you fail to see is the part of the OP, which Forsti edited, saying directly: "I haven't heard of everyone, so some casters will be chosen by user requests in this thread."

So I ask, in one video, one time, for under 15 seconds, for my fans to stop by and request me, since that is explicitly what the tournament organizer asked for. But now he decides to delete that part of his OP, and now I am getting a bad reputation with people I respect (such as you), in addition to getting snubbed for the tourney despite all the requests, for simply doing what the tournament organizer asked of us. There was no "sending of the legion", there was no evil plan, there was just me getting shit on and the shaft directly up my ass.

So yeah, I'm quite sad at this turn of events, I'm not out to cause chaos or burn bridges, this is the second event (the first being day9's countdown party) where miscommunication and unreasonable hate has tarnished my rep with a community I cherish deeply.

Please note, that groups are still not set for sure. I hope for more artwort of the fans <3

Yeah, I'm afraid I'm going to have to pass on this as well. Asking for something in the OP and then blasting said caster when he complies with your request is not a good way to do things in my humble opinion. Saharadrac did nothing but bring attention to this tournament, which should be lauded, not condemned. I don't have any interest in being involved anymore. This sounded like fun but has become a bit of a disorganised dramafest.

here is a little suggestion:


what about forsti stepping back from the tournament and offering his place to sahara.

would be a gesture of good will and a nice way to burry this hate ( hate is a too strong word, but i think you know what i mean ) caused by miscommunication - this really bothers me ... in general - because of that, some shitstorms were started in the past

groups are set and a new schedule is here. I guess we all need a little more time for the games, since everyone is busy once in a while.

Please grab your opponents and give me data when you want to play!

So why are there 6 groups? Are there two tournaments going on? Plus I have to agree with forsti possibly giving up his spot if Sahara did post that early and we had an empty spot in the groups for how long?

One of the first rules about running tournaments is you dont play in your own o.0

and @Sahara I missed your post in the spam and that window in which that was in the OP so I never saw that. So sorry about that. This whole thing hasnt been set up very well and if there arent reasonable time frames for each game I"m probably going to have to withdraw as well since I'm going to be leaving for one possibly two live events in the next several weeks on top of my normal schedule.

But I was under the impression he was a caster not a streamer... the streamer group is the players who like to do first person vods and therefore would pwn the faces of the casters. Is that right? My point being so yeah hes in the tour now but not in the right category?

Well, I'm very glad I was allowed to participate. It was never my intention to create problems or tension, but I thank the organizer despite his previous mistakes for helping me out with this.

BTW: Be careful what you wish for, I'm in a group with Crota, Gretorp, and Orb...ouch. If I somehow make it out (no way), Debo gonna kill me. He's my Terran hero =(

Yeah he's definitely a caster.

But regardless, i'm just happy that the situation was rectified and that he's going to be participating.

:D

The problem is okay now he's in a group that no offense to Sahara he's probably going to get smashed in that's not very helpful and the tournament organizer is still in the tournament in a spot that would be better for Sahara plus the vast majority of TO's don't participate in their own tournaments as it causes problems. When I was made Super Admin of the Tournaments section on iCCup first thing I did was add a rule saying admins cannot play in their own tournaments.

The problem is still here and right now looking at the schedule I have 10 days not too bad for my first game and then. For the second game I have 7 days of which I'm going to be gone for possibly 3, casting for 2-3 so I have maybe... one day to play a game. I might have to withdraw at which point just give my spot to Sahara so he can be in a proper group.

edit: or a third solution possibly switch faze and sahara? As faze posted in the thread WELL after sahara did and he has a grand total of 4 videos? Im not sure how he qualifies as a caster.

edit2: Or give him totalbiscuits spot since he just withdrew... there should be no problem to get him in as a caster as thats what he is not a streamer.

No offense taken, all 3 are better players than me, though I'm up to about 1110 points in Diamond now, like rank 14-15ish in a tough US division. Regardless, they will probably smash me, though I could probably hold my own. Either way, I will play anyone and have fun doing it.

4 videos? I suddenly feel shafted... and not in the appropriate gamer way.

Wait, do the Stremers also play?

I'm confused -


From what I understand, the streamers also play, but are separated from the normal casters because they're usually better and don't specifically cast tournaments (I'm mostly sure this is the situation, but don't quote me )

LOL - I'm in trouble then. I'm mainly a caster and not a streamer. My group is pretty diffucult as well. I tried casting and talking at the same time... I think I DQed myself quite a few times. Anyways, how do I get incontact with the other players in my group?

I usually cast with other people, at this point there's about 15 videos on Ragequit.TV with me casting. I most always cast live without VoD content to Livestream. In the past I've casted live games by myself on my own channel for HuK, MorroW, qxc, Sheth, and CauthonLuck among others. There are a ton of people who may "out qualify" me - but I've done my fair share of casting.

If you have any more questions about my "qualifications", I'd be happy to answer them.

If you want to switch me to the streamers bracket I won't complain. I need the practice anyways

EDIT : Anyone in my bracket - msg me when we're ready at FaZe.539 for our games!

Should we be really "hitting up" anyone for our games yet? I mean, we don't know how many games we're supposed to play against each player, what the series' are best of, what maps to play, how to submit wins and replays...

I'm just sayin, our body is not ready.

I'm ready to stream and upload to youtube of my epic failness. I shall continue to strive to fail at everything I do.

Edit: LOL! All Streamers are mainly T and Casters are a combo of Z and P. Sooooooo funny! Hahaha.

My best schedule to do any kind of stream/play is Tuesdays and Wednesday. Those are my days off work.
So wait? I'm bad? =(

So, any developments on this tournament anyone knows about? A coder friend of mine from sclegacy has an automated system for reporting and uploading wins and tournament enlistments, if I can be of any help to the organization of this tournament, please let me know.

I chose Terran from the beginning of beta, I played Terran in Brood War. I played Terran in this game when they got buffed every single patch, because they literally lost to everything. It has nothing to do with "self-respect", as you regurgitated from the reprehensible IdrA, but more simply as loving the race from gameplay, to lore, to design, to in-game pacing. Perhaps you should think for yourself.

Why are you asking to be removed because you can't play this week when there isn't even a schedule? Am I missing something?

If nothing has happened by this weekend, I'll try my best to make a new thread and start to organise this some more, with concrete dates, and I'll have some structure to it, along with an OP that contains valuable information. I don't want to take the credit from Forsti, of course, for the idea, but I'm going to try to keep this event alive because it was a nice idea that's started to fall by the wayside due to lack of diligence.

This was a very nice idea but I am going to ask that I be removed now. I no longer have the time for this. I have a beauty pageant and other tournaments I must pay attention to. So thanks again, but until we know exactly whats going on..and well, when things must be done by....I don't see this working and I can't focus on it. So I guess you win wolf.

If you do host a tournament for this sort of thing, please let me know wolf. It really did look like fun and I would like to try to participate but this has been a mess to be honest. Anyhow, thanks again!
