Yikes, get the man something to eat, hope he'll be doing ok.
Since you are at the event, could you maybe do us a huge favor and find out why exactly there's no interviews ? Even if there is only a single camera shouldnt be too hard to get a player to the commentators, or is there a problem we dont know about ?
Fenix plays all the time in the little ICCUP king of the hill stuff so I've seen him quite a bit. But ya you don't see him in a lot of the little tournies because it's laggy and he's from Peru.
To summarize my thoughts so far: WOW! These matches have been really really exciting, and we're seeing a wide variety of play from everyone. Some mistakes by everyone, but that adds to the fun, with players going back and forth with advantages and, furthermore, gives me hope for all these players' futures. Multi-pronged attacks and insane micro demonstrate the skills they already bring to the table. Tack on some really fun commentating by Day9 and TheGunRun as well as a fantastic-quality free stream and you've got a great way to spend a Friday afternoon. My goodness Starcraft 2 is awesome edit: I'm such a spaz right now, haha
He is totally exhausted, and didn't want my caffeine... hope he gives 100% against qxc, they're playing next!
On an unrelated note, the Complexity team manager (Silver's sponsor) was asking KiWiKaKi and I who was ahead constantly during their bo3. When KiWiKaKi said "Fenix will win," the manager put his head down on the table, unable to keep watching.
Fenix is really impressing me in all of his games. His amazing timing on his scans, and his ability to harass everywhere, is amazing. Players should really look at his play style, if they wanna copy anyone .

From what I hear that guy is kind of a dick. Get the man some teammates for christ sakes! How in the hell do you expect the kid to win when he has no team to practice with.
Fenix is good yes. Most of the other players are really one step under the level we saw at IEM Cologne for the most part. even huk is playing "badly" (by badly I mean not at his usual level) But games are still entertaining to watch.

Yea, wouldn't they just be able to remove one of the commentators and sit the player in their spot? similiar to how GSL does it?
