I can also emphasize with day[9] on requiring a little help from D.Apollo right then to cover his stressful situation. But there was no help by him. Through the whole event D.Apollo seemed relatively unsure, humble and bashful to me. I'm not criticizing him as a person (although it might sound like this), but as a guy with such an experience on huge stages he doesn't act that professional: - He wasn't able to entertain in a difficult situation (which wasn't caused by him and shouldn't make him feeling shaky). - He even couldn't really speak to the audience (whether cam or arena) - Fondling the mic or holding it awkwardly. - Most of the time he searched for the helping hand of day[9] and focused him while talking. He literally gazed day[9] to death. In his defence: Most of the time he "knows" (as far as a caster can at that point in the game development), what he's talking about. And that's the most important circumstance. Actually I have to take this back concerning the finals. There Apollo did a very good job and almost always circumvented his "blunders" =) | ||

Just remember, the guy who won this could have been out of the tournament in the group stage if the coin toss had fallen the wrong way. | ||

I wasn't watching Day[9] hit the power button of his pc and that caused the game to shut down immediately. Without having an input from the ongoing match the cameras focussed the casters from then on (PC had to reboot; game -> restart). Day[9] literally was begging for help from D.Appollo. All he asked for was that D.Apollo should take the lead and talk to the audience (he even pointed to the topics on a sheet on the desk several times, as there wasn't a "proper" reaction from Apollo). But the latter just "put on his camouflage suit" and "crouched below the audiences' glances" and then almost tumbled from his seat as he feigned death. Extract the exaggeration, I'm clearly not objecitve at all  | ||
