No one wouldn't get caught about it and it is impossible to spot "cheating". Well livestreams don't have to be live, they can be delayed so that you can't cheat, can't they? That would fix almost everything. | ||

The tournament is good for first run but it's little bit confusing to follow as there were like 3-4 streams all casting different replays and I had no idea of the whole big picture. They felt little like random games and you had to choose what to watch. Still enjoying the tournament but it has some room for improvement! That's kinda' the point? With multiple streams you can choose what you want to watch of the games in progress. If you expected only 1 cast the entire time, then the volume of games to go through would either have to be cut down to the bare minimum or it would take days upon days to stream them all. I love this format. I think in order to facilitate a little more coordination you could designate the brackets to specific casters (assuming an appropriate ratio of casters 4/8 etc), so people kind of have a schedule (so to speak) of who to expect on the streams. Just a thought. Understandably difficult and like to be able to improvise, but I think that would be a rather simple way to clarify what might be on what streams. | ||

orb casted excellently, was my favorite caster to follow. Professional and informative. ragequit.tv did a very good job as well. DecemberTV was slightly unprofessional, sometimes didn't cover replay bar/talked about time left in game. | ||

I also feel (although you guys might not agree here), that I'd rather have them stop releasing replays to random casters when it gets into series play and cast from a single official cast, maybe even over a couple of days. Basically I love the thought behind what they are doing now with the official djwheat and chill cast, but I think the cutoff should have been sooner. But maybe I feel this way only because my favorite players already got knocked out  . | ||

In TSL when there was a single official cast of replays, it worked out very well and had tons of viewers. I guess it's harder to do here cause they want to get all the games out there in a day this time. I think there will be an official cast of the Ro8 soon though. Yes this is one of the main issues, besides the lack of live momentum. Preferred improvements would be: One Possibility: 1. One Official ATL Open Stream 2. Thought out order of matches being casted 3. Little things that improve momentum feeling (better: don't fuck it up) like not showing the streamer searching replay files on his Computer to not see how many there are per match and of what size they are, have an overlay seen instead, actually have an overlay badass ATL Open Banner/Picture shown the WHOLE time the stream is not showing ingame footage. Another: Do it like HDH. Cast games live. Show the Cast after the games. It really delivers more excitement and feels live (cause it WAS live lol). Of course there might be better suggestions and stuff, it's just two easy ways of not having the chaos of today which lead to a tournament which lost so much excitement and feeling just because of the casting mess. | ||

You probably should have changed streams then. -orb-'s stream was really good. He has really nice insight, especially when talking about Protoss. | ||

I agree, as well December guy was quite poor choice as well. Orb did an excellent job and provided good analysis as well not missing any action that many casters seem to usually miss. Even above and beyond suggesting ways for them to improve/talking about the current unit combination/strategy coming from the players. Instead of just casters who go " okay hes making a barracks.. now hes moving..now hes dead.." plus general non knowledge in game mechanics or strategies or very light understanding with very little high level insight. | ||
