I very much enjoyed this event. It felt like several friends hanging out, playing some competitive starcraft. ...Not to mention some of the games were intense! Demuslim, comeback of the century

Answers in there

+ Show Spoiler +

ya he lost 2-0 to BratOK and got down to losers bracket. Think he dropped only one game in there.

marine and hellion. amazing hellion micro roasted everything BratOK had in 2 shot while they were all ligned up

they were both goin marine / hellion.

game 2 DeMusliM made an amazing come back after losing like 20 SCVs to early helion harass. BratOK made too many marauders and DeMusliM punished him with marines and medivacs. Honestly i thought he was gonna lose the all game. Def agree with poster above. Come back of the century.

Hope to see more of DeMusliM. This tournament had great players and he beat them all pretty convincingly.

It was really fun! Glad to hear Rotterdam again after all the WC3 I listened to in years past. It was a great atmosphere for the players and everyone seemed to have a great time. It sounds like I'll need to watch set 2 of the finals because I missed the end, but really good tourney.

Yeah RotterdaM, felt kinda sad when you said you didn't even want to cast this thing. Get-together at TaKes place seems like ultimate win. That being said, I obviously appreciate your want to understand the game better (as in, everything except for good proxy locations), but please hurry up because we definitely need more laid back casters who don't get flustered by every gas steal.

hahha naruto sick puppy, go to bed. :D

Well, Im not sure if i explained myself well enough Dingtrold, like in general I reall love to cast, I think its a lot of fun and I love to share my " knowledge" about the game in a funny yet interesting way with the audiance, but somehow everyone seems to think hes a caster nowadays and listening to 9 out of 10 sc II streams nowadays hurts my ears, its annoying as hell to listen to people who play in silver league, like im not trying to be arrogant but honestly what does a silver player really know about indept strats? A good caster should not only able to tell you why something works, cause the people who watch the stream are not idiots, they can see what is happening , but a good caster should be able to explain _why_ a strategy didnt work, even though that doesnt mean the strat is bad by any means, it just ment player A did something better than player B, but that doesnt mean a certain strat is bad or whatsover, and tbh I think this is important to know and I feel this is the kind of stuff you only learn by playing. Right now im at 1400~ Diamond ladder but I still feel my game is full of holes, and who am I to tell White ra shouldnt do this, or Naniwa shouldnt do that etc while they have a damn good reason to do what their doing

, a good caster is able to explain strats which didnt work on the moment, but still explan why a strat could work in potential, even though It didnt work on this moment or certain situation

Nevertheless I had a sick amount of fun today and I'm willing to continue this, combined with playing alot myself, cause its a lot of fun to joke around etc and we shouldnt take eachtoher more serious than it actually is, but now and then we should provide _valuable _ information as well, and then I don't mean speaking from the observer point of view but from actually playing these guys, cause thats the only way your gonna sound really convincing, not just to the audiance but to yourself as well

, I just wanna make sure I know what im talking about before I start casting, but once more, was so much fun today, loved every minute of it , so perhaps cu guys soon once more
