Crazy, crazy move by Kiwikaki. That was pretty awesome. Never seen sentries do so much damage before.
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

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.

As a spectator this has been one of the best organized tournaments I've watched. 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

Yeah, I agree. 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!

Just give up. Clearly they still need to.. I don't know.. BEAT GOOD PLAYERS TO GET FAR?! People will complain no matter what, especially if they aren't fans of root.

Anyone else having issues with the stream? Sound is fine, video are just mini-clips that pause every few seconds.

The default quality is Best. I lowered it to 480p and it works very well. Not much lag at all. Try lowering the quality of the stream.

PvP final!

Really great tournament. Both these casters are great and under-rated. Iced is really great and hes not in any super big events. Glad to see him in this.

It's doing much better after I refreshed the stream.

Even though people stereotypically don't like PvP, the first two games have been pretty damn exciting IMO ^^
