BIG credit to red_ice82Dear 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.
Grids: ---\\\---
Groups: Tournament Caster GROUP 1 Forsti (P) toss.ita (P) maka (R) Wysley (Z)
GROUP 2 faze () GG.ZeeOne (P) TotalBiscuit (P) Jaydden (T)
GROUP 3 HD (Z) djWHEAT (Z) iCCUP.Tesla (Z) Wolf (P)
GROUP 4 thegunrun (Z) GG.Micro (Z) iCCUP.Raelcun (Z) SchickySC (P)
Streamer: GROUP 1A CROTA (T) GRETORP (T/P) ORB (T) SAHARADRAC (T)
GROUP 2A PSYSC (Z) PSYONIC REAVER (T) DEBO (T) TRUMP (T)
Rules: + Show Spoiler +1. TournamentThe 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 MapsI 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. ScheduleThere 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. CastingEvery 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
|
haha thast is pretty awesome idea indeed:D zomg does that mean that BigT vs BiggerT is finally a possibility? ZOMG.
|
i don't rly get wat u meant for the sign up but i would love to join this. I'm a caster, i have a youtube channel (www.youtube.com/wysley4) and have been casting since BW days.
ingame info: wysley.337 Zerg diamond
|
Please come here TheGunRun and martijin
|
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 .
|
Interesting concept.. If people would like me to play in this, I will.
|
HD vs Husky :O day9 vs tasteless Lzgamer vs BigT
|
Ok here's my list of who I want (hope I don't forget anyone) Day9 - Tasteless - HD - Husky - DjWheat - JP - BigT - Wolf - TheGunrun - Martjin - Raelcun - Puremiss - TotalBiscuit - Chill - Psy Come onnnnn casters ! =)
|
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?
|
man where is biggerT when you need him
|
Gretorp does this all the time, should invite him
|
|
|
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).
|
haahha I'd watch it no doubt!
|
HAHA this is great. Get BigT or Destiny in this. Good times are on the way XD

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.

If there isn't a Chill vs Bigt grudge match i'll be sad!
|
Definitely needs Artosis
![[image loading]](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2542/3959032918_f2722806dd.jpg)
If you're going to get Chill, why not go the extra mile and get Combat-Ex?
|
This is soooo awesome. I think I mentioned this to my mates during MLG Raleigh.
Sign up casters!!!!
|
sign up Jaydden. you can ask him if he wants afterwards
|
Henning aren't you going to play?
|
|
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)?
|
Netherlands6142 Posts
I dont think casting-your-own-games is casting.
|
no contest PSY will roflstomp in both casting and playing
|
Psyonic_reaver
|
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.
|
Come on BiggerT we need YOU !
The show of a lifetime.

Pick PsyonicReaver! He's AWESOME!!! ♥
|
PsyonicReaver because he paid me to say it.
lol jk
|
|
BRING IT ON BITCHES. I'LL TAKE YA ALL ON, WHILE EATING DELICIOUS CHICKEN NO LESS
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS ISN'T A VIRTUA FIGHTER TOURNAMENT, OH DEAR, WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF IN FOR
|
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
|
I'd so watch this. You still need to invite TAKE though
|
This has much potential for hilarious commentaries if the cast are just right.
|
i would like to, im an iccuptv caster
|
LzGamer and iNcontroL (for his lol EU jokes)
|
|
Yesterday i watched a 2v2 with Husky and PsY (the zerg) - it was quite entertaining! Hope they both decide to join!
|
Trump actially plays better when he talks to his viewers about what he is doing while he does it. Not really a caster though, but should be considered.
|
Practicing for this would be hilarious.
"Honey, are you talking to yourself again ? I think you have to take a break from playing." "I AM NOT INSANE, THIS TERRAN REAPER BULLSHIT IS OP !"
|
Destiny has to participate...... and Cecil Too....... more balls punch....
|
BigT vs Chill(BiggerT) in the grand finals
calling it right now.

Oh man I'm 100% in. There should be rules like if you don't talk for 15 seconds you are disqualified.

YAY for chill, and good rule

|
Time to make biggerT sign up imo
|
this is too awesome to happend
|
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
|
PsY vs PsyonicReaver would actually be fun.
|
This would be awesome to watch! I think this should be given some excellent publicity from streamers/casters who are participating of course, and even those who might not be
|
The only downside I see to this event is that you have to have soooo many streams open at the same time to not miss anything :D
|
I so much love the idea! cant wait to see how day9 is commentating his 6pool ^^
|
Self commentary? Hell yea, you can count me in! I want to try this.
|
This sounds fantastic. Go PsY and Day9!
|
|
this is tempting! I have the unfortunate problem of a 16:10 monitor. Hmmmmm I wonder what I can do about this
|
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.

Oh and please try to get DJWheat in this! It would be awsome!

Get Combat-Ex in this tournament fast.

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.
|
Sounds interesting, though my money is on Artosis and Day9 if they join.
|
Get take, get take get take get TAKE!!!!!!
|
I'm totally down for this. I will get stomped, but that won't stop me from delivering some entertaining comments during matches 
Please add me to this list if I qualify!
|
I'm going to ask Raelcun if he's down when he wakes up if he's qualified.
|
I think I can honestly say I'm more psyched about this tournament than the GSL after whats been happening :p

Awesome idea! I sure hope this happens!
|
Such an great idea :D Can't wait
|
lol this is a very cool idea and big t better be included in this little e vent.
|
You should ask JP if he wants to play, oh and btw awesome idea!
|
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...

Man up son! Play in Squish-o-Vision
|
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.
|
yeah in my opinion we can use morrow custom maps!
|
If ZeeOne and myself Micro from GosuGamers.net count, We're in!
|
I'll sign up, I'm not very good...don't get to practice much cause of pc issues and all....but I am caster, so what the hell...but dont put me up against someone like Day[9]. I <3 Sean but I don't want to be killed in the first round by him. ^^ I'll pm you my stuff.
|
I can hear it now: "Oh NOOO! That was a Huuuuuge blunder."
|
I'll sign up. Up to you as to whether or not you think I'm well-known enough.
|
sounds right up my alley if I'm considered in here
|

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

damn you might be right. I need to think about it.
|
Looks like this may have to become bigger than 16 casters.. haha
|
Did I not mention in my post that I would be interested?
If nothing else it will allow some who have already kicked my ass in glorious fashion to kick my ass in glorious fashion even more =)
|
Where's MartijnMumbles and TheGunrun from GLHF.tv? :o
|
This is gonna be funny shit
|
That it will be Raelcun. ^^
|
this tourney will be epic!
|
This is an awesome idea. I hope all the popular casters will agree to do this  I particularly look forward to day9 vs tasteless.
|
Awaiting this tourney. Can't come sooner.
|
if possible id like to get in on this.
i go by Ryan and are a iccuptv caster as well as a player for myRevenge and compete @ tournaments like ITL
|
Desert Oasis should be in the map pool since every caster believes games played on that map are >= double rainbow.
|
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.
Edit: Go TotalBiscuit! If you need practice send me a message!
|
Dont spend too long waiting for the reserved casters. I think it would be better overall if it were quick and fuun with casters who are motivated to do it cuz its cool.
Btw Psyonic_Reaver you should be in this
|
Can we get Raelcun to play pokemon while casting himself play sc? :3
|
where is destiny and cecil??
|
hold up.
how did tesla get in this over myself/psyonic?

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. ^^
|
it was nothing personal, i just hadnt seen you cast too much and had seen the drama foloowing the minerva invictus tournament, wasnt aware of other credentials. and no need to not play to fill another spot, you signed up first fair is fair

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.
|
I think Psy deserve to be in this tournament ! He's a excellent player and as a caster, he helps his viewers to get better !
|
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.
|
I second that. Thought Psy was a no-brainer. Also crowd favourite and excellent player.

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 agree. but the topic is now 24h old, when I had the idea to really post this. Wait for everybodys statement and on sunday we will start to set the groups.

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?
|
everybody casts himself alone and records this. you can watch the games live and afterwards you can listen to the ingame feelings from different angles xD
|
I'd love to do this if perhaps I can nominate myself? Lol

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.
|
On September 03 2010 08:27 Kenny wrote:I'd love to do this if perhaps I can nominate myself? Lol

Trump isnt really a caster he's just a player who streams constantly and sometimes makes comments on the games.
|
Anyone else think this needs more player slots? Too many good casters :D
|

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.
|
Artosis, Day9 and Tastleless are going to smash everyone
|
This is an awesome idea. I hope everyone mans up and plays. No excuses day9, artosis and tasteless :D
|
how can u forget our german casting superhero Take?

Wow, this is going to make it so much more interesting (but also harder to play). Can't wait to see it! 
|
Please get Gretorp to this !! He's totally the best one to commentate while playing himself ! <3
|
What about Demuslim? I thought he did some casting jobs now and then :3
|
No JoshSuth or PsyStarcraft or RyanRushia?
Sad day.
|
Would love to see psy roflstomp some of the famous people
|
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?

Totalbiscuit to win the whole thing... you heard it here first.

Im not sure if they are "well known", but maybe AskJoshy and SeaGnome would like to participate.

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

So he really won't be in it? . He did a lot for zerg players, a good player, and I assume a pretty known caster? 30k+ subs.
|
Chill, Debo, Gretorp, Goatrope, day[9], tasteless, Artosis, HD, Husky are the ones I want to duke it out off the top off my head ^^,
|
lol i just tought about a good system to include fanvotes until realized that day9 wins every event then. how boring ^^
(to be more clear: the tournament would be ruled by the popularity of the participants, but we want to see cool games and intersting skill, like at liquid attack!)

God this looks like so much fun! I hope it will be just as exciting as it looks fun. ^^

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)

orb belong to same category as Trump - not qualified

I dont see Gretorp as a caster as much as a player (Who talks about his games too).
Also where's BigT and GunRun ;o

takesen would be awesome :D although hes probably really bad

Get german ESL-guy Take aka Dennis Gehlen in this!

Chill Vs BigT!
Gunrun definitly, also, i hope day9 is gonna play

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.

I could not agree more. BigT vs. Chill and Day9 vs Orb II in the first round ftw!
|
This is such a good idea wow.
|
Man I wish day9 plays <3. But I don't think any of the "established" casters will play. Get at least BigT in here, should be fun xD.
|
I think we should may split the event to tournament players and casters with a grand final between the winners.
|
If we don't use youtube I CANNOT WATCH. I am sure many people are dissapointed about this possibility. My life has been so busy that i haven't found the time to play for 18 straight days. Likeliness says i won't be able to find the time to watch 1 stream.


|
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.
We tailor to you viewers!

Anybody who is not able to stream and record at the same time is not eglible. PM me if I miss anything here im kinda busy this weekend.

How is Day9 not signed up for this.....
|
what's happened to day9 hd and husky?
|
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. http://youtube.com/grethsc
|
This totally needs Gretorp in there ... he's just so handsome when casting  Gretorp and Day9 caster final. Do it! :D
|
You should let us judge it after how good they casted their games and not who won! that could be hilarious.
|
Where is destiny and Cecil?????????
|
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.
Vote YES for Drogith... I eat Spam!
|
why dont u use some custom maps?this tourney would be a great way for the casters to understand some of the maps that might have competitive future.

This sounds like fun. We need Chill, Day9 and Tasteless! Wooooo!

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.
|
well, i have casted europe vs asia with day9, and i cast for gosugamers.net whenever they want me... iono it depends, but keep in mind i'll be offracing toss and i have played maybe 10 games with them
|
Wonderful idea, should be wildly entertaining!
|
|
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.
|
lol, this is pretty funny.
|
tasteless Artosis and day[9] if there is someway that you can get them to play.basement starcraft or something like that.
|
I don't think I'm part of the TeamLiquid community enough to partcipate in the tournament. If I get invited though I will participate.
|
Is that a signup list, or is it a wishlist in the OP?
|
probably the signup list is your wishlist xD
|
Gretorp is used to this stuff
|
Man, that whole talking while recording/streaming is a pain. I'm still interested though.

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

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.

I cast Tournaments, showmatches, single games, and stream.

So Day9 and Tasteless is not in here :/ Need to get them in
|
haha cant wait to see that. good idea
|
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.
|
|
SaharaDrac and Makh should ABSOLUTELY be in this.
Both are fine players and great casters. Also, I wanna hear Sahara say something completely inappropriate live while getting stomped my Day9.
|
Is day9 gonna be in this? that would be pretty badass.
Edit: Oh, you vote for them?
Well, my vote is for Day9, then maybe HD just to see him get steamrolled
|
Okay, I'll play. It sounds pretty fun, I'll probably get dqed for not talking though.

Is this gonna be played today?

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^^
|
|
COME ON DAY9!!!!!!! we need Sean in this, gogo! Sean!
|
One more vote for SaharaDrac. He is an awesome caster, very calm, informative from time to time and very funny and entertaining. He will do a great job, no doubt!
http://www.youtube.com/user/SaharaDrac
|
Update the list please!!! SaharaDrac HD Crota
These guys are legit casters and Id really like to see their multitasking skills!!!
Btw Husky is at PAX LAN so I dont think he knows about this but Im sure he would sign up if he knew. Also comeon Day9!!!!!
|
Get SAHARADRAC! He wants in, and the more the better!
|
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.
|
This is an amazing idea I can't wait. I MUST see Day9, Wheat, Tasteless and Chill cast their own games. There's still a couple of slots left let Crota in he is a nice caster. :D
|
day9 is definitely going to win. he's probably the best out of all of these guys.
|
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. ^^
SaharaDrac ftw. The guy is perfect for this kinda show!
|
/me looking for the unignore post button
|
pick saharadrac!! hes god damn hilarious :O
|
Get Sahadrac, he would be really funny to watch, also HD and Husky.
|
saharadrac would round out the crew nicely i think.
|
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

Oh, god, someone get combatex in here.

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.

When is going to take place?

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.
|
SaharaDrac should most definitely be in this tournament!
|
Lol at all the 1-post-posters voting for SaharaDrac (who I've never heard of before).
|
I love the practice-what-you-preach concept :D
I guess being at an amazing level in the game is not essential to understand it, but would be nice to see if these guys can back up their analysis with a solid performance of understanding the game .

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.
|
I'd love to see SaharaDrac, Day9 (obviously..), iNcontroL? Although maybe not classed as a caster, and i just wanna see this is gonna be epicc!

Thumbs up for SaharaDrac

i think anyone from scl would be good id love to see sahara cast and play at the same time lol :p
|
wish I could play in this but I don't do video commentary, least not on my own
|
Another vote for SaharaDrac, he's hilarious, would definitely be entertaining
Also: goatrope with the rest of the goat show guys in attendance
|
oh man i'm totally stoked for this!

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!

I have to agree, Sahara is my favorite caster, he bringeth the lols. If they could include at least one of the starcraft legacy guys that would be totally awesome. Sahara and Crota pretty much were my introduction to SC2. Also ye 1st post...yay me.
|
Urgh, seems like I need to do a TL.net campaign too
|
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"

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?

o yea sahara, that last vid you did with the pokemon referance had me cracking up hard, good work keep it up.

it would be really cool if HD and Husky could take part in this tournament! Would like to see them duking it out vs each other. xD

We really need TaKe for this ;>
|
Nobody suggest Debo already? Try to get him, he mostly cast his own games but hes a really funny guy!
|
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.
|
if Klazzart played SC2 he would win for sure. He would talk so fast his opponents head would explode just from having to listen.
|
|
Debo would be perfect for this. Plus, if you don't have a black man, well, you're discriminating. Equal rights for everyone! Not to mention, he's hilarious.
|
I would like to see some of these guys: HD Husky AskJoshy Gretorp Crota <- Especially this one SaharaDrac <- Especially this one Gifted
|
So am I good to play? I pmed you my bnet info and posted a few pages back. Let me know!
|
Ill play if you want, I cast for iCCup.TV with Raelcun.

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.

I would love to see goatrope! Not exactly a caster, but he has done it before and Im sure he could! If not, cant wait to see this looks fun, too bad Chill is dropping out tho. :/

I agree, goatrope would be an excellent addition to this tourney.

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.
@chill mankind is bitchin, nothing new to us, is it?

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.

Debo is fine. Just match him with Trump in the First Round.
|
So Chill complains about martyrs as he martyr's himself? Am I understanding this right? + Show Spoiler +
Edit: Doesn't that warrant a temp ban as well? Or does it have to be a more serious martyrdom like what Never_GG did?
|
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.

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.

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.

I feel like there is a huge range of skill in this tourney.
would it be a bad idea to propose a handicap?

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.

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?

@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)

Wow. I was looking forward to this tournament, but after reading the last few pages i kinda don't care anymore. What possessed me to think this would be terrific fun with my favourite casters duking it out while holding hands and riding unicorns?

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

The streamer pool will roll over the rest. Maybe play with some handicap?
Also I hope Chill reconsider.

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

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.

I would really appreciate Saharadrac to be in it. Pretty, pretty please. That is all.
//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.
|
I would give my left kidney (not the right one, as it is very dear to me) kidney to see SaharaDrac shoing up in the tournament. Shouldnt be THAT hard to expand the tournament to another round anyway with the amount of good casters around.
Grey.

This is a great idea and it's going to be hilarious!
"Wow, look at that beautiful micro by me." "His army just completely destroyed mine. What a great play by him." "I am clearly tilting at the moment." "I think going muta is a mistake right now. If I was me I would have gone infestors instead." "I think my superior macro is starting to show."

ROFLOL! Totally epic..I was practicing for this and had thought it might be best to talk in 3rd person for the exact reasons of lines 1-3 and 5 XD...
|
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.
|
please invite Mr SaharaDrac from SCLegacy - really funny guy!!!
|
nono everything is fine, i give a last update tomorrow, im just not at home right now. wheat is out of town for a week, so we wont have a start this weekend, because he is mandatory for the group drawing in my opinion. stay calm, the tourney stars soon.

Pretty excited to see the groups!

Please invite SaharaDrac, he is sooo funny. I seriously check daily to see if he has any new commentaries.
|
Looking forward to more details on the upcoming tournament. Thanks for including me.
|
i vote for the indomitable SaharaDrac. my id thing is this http://sc2ranks.com/us/683309/GathFox but it is not up to date on there.http://www.youtube.com/user/SaharaDrac#p/u/0/7F-h21cgV1M here is one of his latest casts for your enjoyment too.
|
|
Yeah SaharaDrac would be awesome for this. He's hilarious.
|
|
|
I like SaharaDrac but the spamming is getting annoying.
|
HD is taking part! Yeah! Love to see HD duking it out in this tournament.
HD FIGHTIIIING!! ^^ FOR THE SWARM!
|
Gl Crota, I'm a big fan of your streams.
|
I can't wait for this tournament to get started. I can't imagine how long it will take me to watch all the matches from both POV's but I will make sure to find time LOL
|
Crota gonna tear this up!!!
|
looks awesome, though day9 and JP would put the topping on the cake
|
Do it for ICCUP tesla!
FIGHTING
|
I want to see SaharaDrac, he's way awesome by far my most favorite commentator.
|
|
martijn out, thegunrun in. i am at home again i cast no go4sc2, go we start this as soon as wheat is at home.
|
Omg with the SaharaDrac 1 post poster spam....
|
Kerotan! ^^ <3 Dont worry, I'll do my best for the zergs and the female players/casters.
|
there are 2 ??? in the roster for the tourney so far. are those unnocupied slots, reserved for something or is that a participants name? well ill just hold hope that sahara drac may occupy one of them if it is an empty slot =P
|
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.).
|
|
That's 5 pages of SaharaDrac spamming now, ridiculous.
|
And 5 pages of SaharaDrac anti-spamming.

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.
|
This is going to be amazing.

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).

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.

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 -.-
|
Could the elitist fucks please stop shitting up the thread with their dumb opinions? If you're not casting or don't have something relevant to say regarding the tournament then bugger off, thanks.

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.
As Raelcun has been saying, it'd be nice to get an update. As he is, I am also busy with events and need to know ASAP when I'm scheduled to play, etcetera.

I don't understand why you gotta wait for DJwheat to make the groups. Just pick some names out of a hat and get this going please :-)

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'd try to sign up for this but I'm not very well known and I work sunday afternoon/evenings so can't really participate if it's on sundays.

Any details about the tournament? I'm not exactly sure of my role as a "caster"

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 >.<

i just abandoned some people yesterday, and after releasing the video about the groups people will even more freak out then they do now because of the massive delay. 
// participants are set and lets wait for the group-drawing-video.
|
So it actually starts soon?
|
Forsti. I know how it is to run a tournament and when things don't go as planned. I love you man. Do your best! If you need help, PLEASE don't be afraid to ask. So many people want to see this work so don't feel it's solely on your shoulders.

when are matches going to happen
i really want to see Chill play his matches, he is my favorite caster

I can't find SaharaDrac in the list of participants.
Whyyyyy
PS: Oh wow, this thread's an interesting read.

Need more Day9 and Incontrol.

Sahara is a cool guy Raelcun. He is from sclegacy.com I think. I have never seen him cast games live but he has alot on youtube with Crota.

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.

Which is why I dropped out too.
Also, DJWheat drew the groups so the OP should be updated.

what exactly isn't set in stone?,quickly becoming a bit of a shambles this tourn

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.

And the exodus begins....

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
|
|
I heard I'm in HD and djWHEAT's group. Fun fun.
|
EximoSua2 You're in Streamer Group 1A.
|
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.

SchickySC.714 or colin.schick at rbe.sk.ca for realfriend.

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?

It's ok Raelcun - we'll just do a training montage sometime this week. I've got the music, we got this.
Live to Win - Paul Stanley The Touch - Stan Bush You're The Best Around - Joe Esposito Montage - South Park/Team America:World Police Danger Zone - Kenny Loggins Eye of the Tiger - Survivor Wanted(Dead or Alive) - Bon Jovi
And we'll close it out with: The Final Countdown - Europe
And if we're feeling saucy: Shake! - e.via
|
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 =(

Wait, do the Stremers also play?
I'm confused -

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
Edit: used the wrong word :p

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.

Alright, need to practice actually casting and playing at the same time... this is not something I was practing as I didn't think I was in the tournament.

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

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 )
|
I play Protoss, by the way.
|
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.

wow guys, this is a fun event. so please sto[ discussing about rules etc please. i mentioned before, that its nearly impossible to do everything right and if there is a second event it will be invite only.
groups are set now, but when you show me another 1300+ streamer that whats to be in, i exclude myself for sahara.

No need. This is what happens when you get swept in by the drama instead of looking up someone else's claim for yourself.

No Chill makes me sad.
Gretorp or Trump to win the whole thing imho.

I thought it was 16 players, is it 24 now?
Anyways, the last time I checked this thread was a week ago, but it would be nice to know the scheduling

Most casters are not terran, got self respect. Most streamers are terran,

Siiiick lineup Go this tourney

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.

So did this thing die?
Is there any plan to set up a match schedule, and is there a roster of people who are still wanting to play?
|
Forsti... Please update us. It's not that hard to update a thread once every two weeks or so.

Well this tournament has went nowhere fast.... Was looking forward to it too.

no good- was really pumped to see some "colleagues" play
tho the idea is really great the execution lacks :/

Someone who has experience in running these things, and has the time to update it and pay attention should create a new thread and get things going properly.

I tend to agree, needing some time to organize things is fair, but this is out of hand. Anyone got tourney organizing experience?

wow this reminds me of the over tourney that never went through. No organization... heck even no schedule?? you kidding me? NO tourney will make it through if it has no organization.

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!

-.- I wanted to see this.
