Which further supports my opinion that this torny is far from legit. In most sports brackets, the best players are seeded in such a way that they won't play against each other until the very end of the tournament (in the semi-finals or finals). Tennis tournaments like Wimbledon are a great example of this. So for you to say that this Root tournament isn't legit because: 1. Root players are all spread out AND 2. Root players are all the best is to directly contradict common bracket preparation for many sports. However: 1. No one said that the brackets had to be randomized. 2, Team kills were clearly aimed to be prevented for all clans. 3. No one is even claiming that Root is the best, although the entire semi-finals consists of Root gamers. So yes, you are entitled to your opinion. But we are more than welcome to attempt to explain to you why we don't respect it. And the fact that your tone was a bit harsh didn't help. | ||

Casting was really good, and there was very little sitting around between games. Many tournaments I've seen will have the casters sitting around and chatting for 15-30 minutes between games. The fact that this tournament kept moving fast made it much more enjoyable to watch. Very nice job! And I think the sponsors will be happy, as you've got more viewers than day9 at the moment. Please do another one soon! I agree. Very well organized and I'm definitely gonna keep watching Root-run tournaments! The casters are good too | ||

Raelcun is great and IceD got much better as soon as he stopped using "metagame" as a verb. If I had to say one thing, I think their tendency to talk for long periods of time without input from the other caster is a stylistic choice I disagree with. I think it'd be nice if they could recognize that the other person might want to comment on something. Or has something that they felt was worth interrupting the person talking. Other than that, it's great casting! | ||

BEAT GOOD PLAYERS TO GET FAR?! People will complain no matter what, especially if they aren't fans of root. | ||

I lowered it to 480p and it works very well. Not much lag at all. Try lowering the quality of the stream. PvP final! | ||
