Also i dont think that an apology by sjow would help anything, that doesnt make the games being casted anyway... But of course Congratulations to TLO :> I hope they start focusing on the viewers in the rules too. | ||

This is a grand final, as a player you would get annoyed as hell. Besides, they asked the caster out before and when he lagged again, TLO said in chat "WTF, he is still in here?". They were probably really pissed by then. If Jinro and TT1 could wait for hours at MLG, so can they. You're forgetting that the whole point of having tournaments with sponsorships and money rewards in the first place is because people want to watch the games. That actually takes priority over players' preferences and problems, because it's what generates the money they're winning right now. Yes it's horrible for a caster to lag during the grand finals, and it's an organizational flaw, and getting an improvised co-caster on was a bad idea. But that's no reason for a PLAYER to decide that streaming isn't going to happen. They may have been pissed off, but that's life. If they felt the game was influenced by the lag, they could discuss with the admin to have it replayed. There are standard ways of dealing with everything. | ||

There was a stream on gamerbase.com this afternoon, but the caster could not show the big battles because then he would start to lag. So he showed some random stuff on the map. This tournament is just terrible organized from a spectators point of view. This! Don't blame the players or the streamers from ragequit. If you have such a big tournament you need a good and official stream and a rule that all games have to be casted. Anyway, gratz to Dario!  I am really happy that he won and even more that he seems to be healthy again! | ||

Without viewers there would be no sponsors, withot sponsors there would be no money, hope players who go crazy to the point of not allowing espectators can live with the prizes of craft cup lites. | ||

MLG was HORRIBLE. By the time they played the finals finally, I had lost all interest in who would win. I was actually waiting forever and finally fall asleep. In this tourney, It was already after midnight in London and they were playing for 14 hours or so. Furthermore, it was not even an official streamer, for all they knew it was just a random streamer. How do you even know they were aware of the viewing situation for some guys on teamliquid. Also, Sjow didn't decide anything, he just threatened the guy (and you can judge him for that). But the countdown already started when the streamer left, he wasn't forced out, he left voluntarily in the end. | ||

Matter of fact, neither the players (the ones that showed up anyway) nor the clutch streamers are to blame but rather the tourney organizers, for not getting a proper official stream running, for not getting the players on site in time, for trying to run a double elim bracket with bo5s in a single day and so on and so forth. Anyway, gz to TLO, 2011 starts well for him, thanks drooL, razamathingy, sheekthief and totalbiscuit for saving this from a viewers perspective and thanks to all the players for putting up some great games. I don't really want to see another TvT for a couple of days though :D | ||

Im sure those people stay up far far later during tournaments, even more given it is saturday  I have seen Sjow up at 3-4 am in other tournaments, it's the prize for placing high and getting the money, you are not in the playground anymore. | ||

Or just casters should refuse to cast any of his games until he publicly apologizes... | ||
