Thank you to everyone for your awesome comments, we appreciate it! Thank you to all those who watch the live stream!

We've heard some amazing comments in chat such as: “I’ve watched the VODs of the games they casted of me, and I’ve learned at least one new thing each time I watched to improve on.” as well as “When else would gold players like us get casted? This is so much fun!” These are the kind of comments I dreamed of when we were putting together the ASCWeekly, and after all the hard work to get it setup (which was tremendously more than I thought) – it’s all coming to fruition.

Thank you to all the participants thus far, I'm so excited to cast the Diamond games tonight, and of course start the process all over next week

Also of note, we've had some contact with potential sponsors for prize pools in the next few weeks, and even some coaches offering up their services as prizes - so stay tuned guys, ASCWeekly is on the up and up :D

Hey sympatico just giving a heads up I may be a lil late since having dinner with family but hoping i'll be on in time. Hoping maybe i'll be on b/w 8:55 and 9:05 latest so hopefully Atticus is alright with waiting a lil bit for our match.

I really enjoyed having a tournament where I wasn't playing against a Diamond player every round no matter what. Thanks for your work Sympatico and seltsam, I look forward to working with you guys more in the future.
Anyone who has played any of the z33k tournaments, or even been dissuaded after seeing the percentage of players in it who are diamond, the ASCW tournaments are a GREAT place to get some tournament experience.

I'm assuming the diamond tourney includes master leaguers now as well?

yes, for week #2 diamond and master will be the same league - however starting in week #3 we will have a seperate diamond and master bracket - meaning 4 nights of tournaments and casting every week

We've had an amazing response in terms of community support...we have taken on an extra caster, and several admins to help out - which will make 4 nights of tournaments a lot more manageable, as well as ensuring we don't just get overwhelmed...so the ASCWeekly won't go away

I can't wait to start casting 4 nights in a row.

Come Friday, I'm sure my voice won't be sore at all.

Holy moly we've gotten some crazy response this week, bronze/silver and gold/platinum players are coming out in droves...at this rate we might have to turn it into a RO32
