In the words of gretorp, I'm pretty excite. Good luck, ladies and gentlemen!
|
GOGOGO markpopo!!!
|
is there anyway i can still take part in this? missed qualifier 4 due to wcg TT
|
Nope that's all of the qualifiers sorry ;(
If a top32 player contacts me beforehand and can't make it there may be a playoff involving semi-finalists from that qualifier so if you got that far in any that is your only chance.
|
|
|
Guys anyone who only made it to the semi-finals of this event please post here if you are interested in entering the 'second chance' competition.
People who sign up in this way and turn up on time will play off for the right to replace any no-show or disqualified players.
Please include your CyberGamer ID, the bracket/qualifier in which you achieved a semi-final placing, and your SEA and NA Bnet IDs either in your post or in a PM to me.
|
Gogo DoMo!
And RefleX and legion.
They're the only ones that have talked to me.
But mostly DoMo. ^_^
|
|
|
Markpopo hwaiting!
Believe!
|
leg will win if he doesnt get cheesed by all in terrans
|
So will the replays be broadcast in an hour or will the matches be played in an hour? If it is the latter when will the broadcast be up?
|
there's been some matches played early so the cast will likely start right on 6aedt (starting time of the tourny)
|
Broadcast will start at 6aedt sharp! we have a couple of people play early so no downtime :D!
|
Very cool, curious how good the best of SEA is! Sure, people say they're the "weakest server" but I bet their top players will still have some interesting stuff to show us! Looking forward to it!

Read again - I was implying you need to post details so your feedback is constructive instead of coming across as whinging.
Believe me both myself and Unstable are open to feedback but when your beef is either cos he badmouthed your mate, or you just don't like his style or voice then you can get lost - if however you have some constructive tips to improve we can take them on board.
|
Yoz's not-really-constructive feedback:
Unstable - Your girlfriend needs either a bodyguard or a car so casts aren't interrupted by random lifts being required
Paz - You need a better ISP. What the hell?
deL - You need those cool admins like the ones that do that SEA Open

Yeah he came out of nowhere in the qualifier and left a path of destruction on the way to the finals - very impressive.

To be be fair, the stream could be improved a bit. Unstable seems to have a lot of technical issues with getting the stream running smoothly. There are also some casting problems; for example, he really needs to stop breaking off during the action to have a rant at something someone has posted in his chat stream.

Take note, jabK - this is somewhat constructive.
|
To counterbalance what seemed like a purely negative post, I should also add that it's great to have competitions like PSI Storm for Oz, and that people are willing to dedicate their time to cast them. The things I mentioned previously were just a couple of issues I did notice when watching.
|
Casting is decent, besides the technical difficulties such as the replay rewinding or the stream dying. Nice prizepool on this tourney and looking at the brackets we have in the upper semi a ZvT and lower semi a PvZ, which are nice match-ups, including for the winners bracket final. So looks like a nice spread of races which is always good.
|
Good to see non-SEA/Oceania spectators enjoying the event and understanding the casting!

Been a great competition so far, Del and the other guys from CG have really done well.
Also the 4 qualifiers into finals is a really nice format, single or even double elim tourneys can be so unfair sometimes.
As a side note.. I notice this from myself too when I've listened to my casts but does anybody else just hate the australian voice when casting starcraft?
Paz is fine because he almost sounds american() but god the australian accent is annoying.
|
In general I find the American accent more annoying on casts. It really depends on how broad either accent is though. A broad American accent sounds awful, but a broad Australian accent sounds pretty bad for casting too. Other accents, such as singlish or any European accent, are usually fine as long as I can understand the caster.
|
I find most accents pretty good except some American and some stronger European ones. Singlish makes you have to concentrate now and then too. I don't mind Aussie accent for casting I guess because I am used to Aus commentary from watching a lot of sport here.
|
The accent is fucked when it comes from the mouth of a stupid person. Otherwise it's fine.
Unfortunately, I kinda gotta jump on the 'i don't like the unstable stream' wagon because whilst it's technically fine, it's the fact that he's not very smart at the game. It's like Husky; enthusiasm but without the really good analysis. I usually end up rage-muting it if I'm watching it.
If only we had our own Day[9]. I suppose we'd have to call him G'Day[9].
Anyway, as for my tournament experience it's been going good so far. Got some really good matchups (ie, have not run into Glade yet, woohoo!) and I must endorse the size of the prize pool. More tournieslike this and we'll have an SEA scene on our hand for sures.
|
I never understood why it's top players who complain about not enough depth in the cast - you can tell what's going on yourself better than 99% of casters usually so I find myself preferring entertainment over analysis these days. I don't need the exact FOTM build order regurgitated to me when I see it on the screen.
Tastosis ftw.
|
|
|
Because top players are dicks. Seriously. I met Glade at that sydney lan, God what a motherfucker. He tried to hide it well with smiles, jokes and friendly post-game handshakes, but the guy was an arsewipe through and through, I swear.
|
Yeah cos Glade hasn't made like tons and tons of friends and a reputation as one of the nicest guys in the scene over the last 7 years or anything.
Thanks for making it clear who the dick is, iaguz.
|
I have no idea what you are talking about iaguz. Some top players aren't the most agreeable people I agree. Glade and Leg however were the nicest guys when I met up with them for a few days.

Kidding right?

Oh hey, we were told to post here in this thread! I only saw the last part, but I liked it, so I will watch more often!
How can you tell if an elephant's been in your refrigerator?
There are footprints in the butter.
|
I'm pretty sure iaguz was kidding about the glade stuff guys, calm down
Also my post was not a criticism of the stream, I am just a self hating aussie.
|
Unstable is fun to watch because of the people you'll see in the chat. I wouldn't watch his vods, because its just not as fun. Day9 and others I'm fine with on vods, but Unstable is just a normal guy, and the chat lets me talk to players far above me in skill that I wouldn't normally ever have contact with.
I just think its cool for me to be able to say something about the game and have the guy that played it or the guy casting it or a top player respond to me.
|
I thought the streams were ok, but they needed more co-ordination to cover more matches so that we could see more different games
|

Pretty much what del said
So I have no idea why there is so much hate instantly towards me, if someone can enlighten me please do so! All I have done is try to fill the void for SEA event casts out of my own time and not asking for anything, i really dont understand why for nothing other than trying to help out the community i get flamed and abused? I will be the first to accept I am not perfect but for anyone who has been following me for a while I ask consistently after every cast for feedback on how to make my cast better. And I firmly believe that it has been getting a lot better since I started.
So to that note let me respond to some of the posts.
To be be fair, the stream could be improved a bit. Unstable seems to have a lot of technical issues with getting the stream running smoothly. There are also some casting problems; for example, he really needs to stop breaking off during the action to have a rant at something someone has posted in his chat stream.
Trying to not sound like an excuse, the stream was live for about 9 hours straight and from what i saw there was 2 glitches technically, A) when my PC overheated and B) I hit the B key in game when i was trying to hit V
I have taken steps to stop these from happening again I have ordered a better airflow system for my PC, and I will just have to be more careful with my key placement's, I;m sure everyone has had a typo or hit the wrong key bind before while playing.
Also I am curious as to your dislike of the community interaction, most of the feedback I've had has been positive and people wanting more of it more often, can you elaborate? was the timing off eg missed something in game or do you just not prefer it?

Comments like this make no sense to me, not only is it completely not constructive at all you seem to just want to bitch about something you have no control over, If i "hardly know the game" please feel free to give me a list of examples since it must happen so often in my cast that you say this with such malice. and laughing at dumb shit? I'm sure a lot of people don't like your sense of humor too its not something i can change so to that i say if you don't like it don't listen.

I certainly agree, however we didn't really have a choice but to go with what we had, we tried to keep the replays of the games as live as possible, also juggling who to watch with other casting teams didn't help, really its just something experience will help with over time.

I really don't know where to start with this one, my first reaction is to tell you to go screw yourself because there is nothing in your post but flaming/abuse especially when I have done nothing to you whatsoever.
"when it comes from the mouth of a stupid person"
This comment is kinda funny, since i have had feedback from countless top players and none have told me this before, and believe me they have been extremely upfront with their opinion.
All I sense from you is negativity when you say this "More tournieslike this and we'll have an SEA scene on our hand for sures"
You do realise that the only way this is going to happen is if the scene GROWS right? one of the best ways to do that is to cast the tournaments, you can have issues with my stream all you want but you would be hard pressed to find a stream at the video quality/game knowledge/commitment and availability as mine. So instead of being a rude abusive tool, how about actually work with others in the community who want it to be a lot instead of abusing people try working WITH people like me and Del to make the entire experience better for everyone. Instead of what your doing now which is realistically being completely useless in the scheme of things.

Glade has been one of the nicest gamers i have ever met and pretty sure everyone else agree's so all you have done here is make yourself look like a tool.
With all that being said If you really do find something can be improved with my stream feel free to PM me here or leave a message ingame/stream chat and i will of course do everything i can to make the stream a better experience for everyone
|
Yes, I am being silly. Jeez. Calm down. Glade's alright by me. How many top players are dicks anyway? Like, other then idra. Pretend idra doesn't exist when you read that past sentence
When I say I don't like the stream and give reasons, well, there you go! Del replied to one other hater that that person did not give proper reasons, so I gave some. Sorry you didn't like them.
And I believe you misunderstood what I meant with this line: "More tournieslike this and we'll have an SEA scene on our hand for sures." This a positive line! More moneys: more enthused players: some real awesome shit. I'm not saying that we shouldn't have streamers, or that you should stop streaming or something silly like that. I'm just giving my reason why I don't watch your stream, and I tried to make it constructive (well, ok, perhaps saying "be Day9" is not very constructive, seeing as 99.9999999% of earths population is not Sean "day9" plott, but you get what I mean) other then just 'man that unstable. What a horrid guy. Burn his stream!'
My point is just that whilst your casting technique is fine enough (decent obsing, not much downtime, proper enthusiasm etc) it's just that your game knowledge lacks, so I don't watch your stream. That's it. If you want, I can hop on for some of the Terran games (none of the non-terran matchups, I know dick-all about those and will just be deadweight) and try and provide a decent level TvX opinion, show you what I mean.

That's a fair response. I was only able to catch some of today's cast due to limited time, and so my comments were based partly on earlier casts such as the qualifiers and may no longer be as applicable.
As for the community interaction, I guess it can be a matter of personal preference. I think if something comes up in the stream that reminds you of a fact or answer worth mentioning then it's fine to announce it, but if it turns into a conversation I find it can be irritating. My recommendation would be that if someone say asks a pertinent question or something in the stream, pick a lull in the game and address it with "we have some questions about.." or "ZergPlayerBob asks..", and give the question and answer, so that people not following the chat won't get confused, and it doesn't turn into an extended discussion.
However, that's just my preference. If the audience are happy with the interaction certainly don't let me discourage you. As I pointed out in my second post, I'm overall very impressed with the effort you put into the casting.
Edit: Oh and iaguz, you couldn't have made it any clearer that you were joking. I'm amazed that so many people didn't pick up on it, but don't let it worry you too much - some people just don't get these things.

This feedback is a completely different tone to "when it comes from the mouth of a stupid person"
This is the feedback that is really needed to progress, and thank you for providing it. I am pretty puzzled as to how you mean my game knowledge is lacking because you are the first person to bring it up out of all the feedback i have had, it may be that we have conflicting styles in PvT my pvt is at about 1300-1400 sea server rating (insert flame)? but i agree i am learning the hard way with TvT and TvZ which is why i consistently drag people like glade/paz/pinder/ etc into stream with me any chance i get. since i did play P exclusively until i started casting. I am also playing as much as i can when i have time offracing to get a better feel for everything. It could also be as del said earlier my game knowledge is good just not as high as yours? i don't know but i do plan on doing everything i can to make it better.

I like this idea of making it more clear for those who aren't following the chat ill give it a go tomorrow, see how things turn out.

Sarcasm and forums dont mix yo! >.<
but on a more serious note i deal heavily with body language customer service stuff, the things iaguz mentioned are real things that can set people off, once u can read body language and tone etc u can pick up soo much info from people that they don't talk about so it did seem legit.
|
I personally enjoy the casting for just being relaxed, especially with alot of random guests on who just make it a better atmosphere. It just is a communal stream, alot of the things said can be inside jokes or only some people may understand. Things like Pinder doing fpvod commentary during KOTH was great and was just done freely.
There are improvements casting wise ofcourse, but some people just enjoy it for what it is.
|
to get back to the earlier discussion i really hate it when people pressure casters into having strategical insight. I think a lot of up and coming commentators perform worse then they could if they just aimed for entertainment because of that pressure.
|
lazy to read too long. dont know what you guys are smoking but i think unstables cast is pretty enjoyable and entertaining .
|
Lol, if anyones commentary was to bag out it was on the channel where the guy and asian chick (think name was kelly) were casting. They were bagging the shit out of aDRo and RedArchons game and i quote "Yeah this is the perfect game to display what not to do" and "yeh I donno RedArchon but this is really low tier play". Im sure they could do better ay?
|
I can't comment on Kelly's casting, but from the small amount I've heard, I couldn't stand it. Mostly because of her voice.
|
Trash talking in forums won't improve anything and if you can't cast yourself (and I have heard some commentary of those complaining and really it was nothing at all to write home about) then these guys are all we have so you should focus on concise, important tips and feedback that will improve the cast in a way that will appeal of a MAJORITY of the viewers (not everyone can be pleased).
|
i think unstable's cast is actually pretty enjoyable. it can actually be a lot better if you could sync the microphone volumes so that they could be even. because it's quite annoying to having to keep adjusting the volume as different casters speak due to the difference in volume changes.
|
When its like that carebear, just type in the chat who's mic is low.
Theres quite a few co-casters, and right now Unstable and Paz are good equal volumes, but last night during Psi Storm, I think you were right, someone was very quiet.
|
If that ever happens guys let me know so i can adjust the volume for you! cant fix what i dont kno is broke!

Are Kowi and Glade playing now?
|
|
|
Thanks. I can't get any of the channels at the second link to play anything other than adds. But the first one works nicely! Mind you it looks like T v T? Is it Kowi vs Glade?
|
Ah, sounds like it is not :D
|
deL do you know if Kowi and Glade are playing right now too?
|
Lexo yes they are playing today but they are not up on stream jsut yet.
|
I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts on the Unstable/Tobiwankenobi casting duo?
|
Toby is an awesome caster. Nuff' said. (:

Seems pretty alright, I'm enjoying it.

Tbh of all the SEA casting i don't know anyone who does it better than unstable... Yeah he doesn't have 2k diamond level knowledge, but I don't think you're going to find a player with better knowledge (other than maybe paz) and the same... 'charisma' as unstable that isn't playing in the fucking matches people want casted...
That, and i doubt you realize how much effort he's putting into all this for very little gain for himself other than helping the community, without unstable casting all the recent SEA events, you'd would have a lot less events to complain about the casting, because there wouldn't be any streams for 75% of the stuff he does it for, and you'd have a lot more to complain about on stuff like psistorm, because we'd be back to people with much less idea casting the games where half the viewers, rather than maybe 2-5%, have more knowledge than the caster and realize when he's calling it wrong.

150 bucks, woo.
Glade hwaiting I suppose.
(tempted to create one of those 'cheerful posters' of a sparkly Moonwell from WC3 that has a bunch of zerglings crawling out of it. Or perhaps a hydralisk with one of those hats with the corks dangling from it. And a cigar.)

keep the stream running strong unstable and just ignore the flame against ya.
if they have a problem with how us aussies do things we'll just challange them to a drinking contest

Yah is there like an infested moonwell from WC3?

That was a pretty entertaining last game
|
Why didn't you participate tertle?
|
I haven't really played 1v1 since beta. Final year uni project is due on wednesday, presentation next tuesday, after that it's game on!
|
Fair enough my thesis is in 2 weeks too! GL with yours!
|
As far as casters are concerned my preference is unstable however I prefer when he has co-caster with really good game knowledge and is mainly used to provide info and will in the gap while letting unstable cover the action as apposed to the setup with tobi where unstable plays more of the information role. That's just my person preference tobi + unstable is still entertaining just some desync issues
|
Unstable is kind of in the middle ground, tobi is better at calling action but lacks depth in game knowledge, paz, etc. are great at the game itself but unstable probably pips them for action calling and excitement levels so he's the middle ground!
|
Why isn't Paz casting? I like Tobi as a person, but I've always disliked his casting even since his earliest days in DotA. Paz has casted this event for so long, it's grossly unfair that he isn't casting the finals as well.
I'm very disappointed with whoever made that decision.

Fixed.
Fair enough, let's see how this works out. Good luck to GLaDe and OxygeN!
|
Unstable and Tobiwan did a very good job at casting, good chemistry, the actions were commentated very well too :D always look forward to watch unstable's casts :D
|
Thanks to deL / CGAU for organizing this awesome tournament.
Congratulations to who won this tournament your now a millioner!
Unstable ur awesome keep up the casts and everything you do for the community.
Ild like to see more of Tobiwan also I really enjoyed the intensity he brought to the casts and his rapid commentary during battles.
|
Yeah he might not have over 30-40 APM in game but boy can he micro his commentary for those battles O_O I couldn't keep up with his shoutcasting let alone what was happening on screen.
|
Guess my drastic fail in this thing is mitigated a little by the fact I lost to some pretty high finishers
Thanks del and everyone else involved, was a well run tournament Congrats to the winners.
|
Any chance we can get a hold of the replays?
|
Yep I'll upload reps once i get the chance.
