Hi guys - i assume the point of this tournament for HD is to get people at his channel to watch, but if for whatever reason you cannot reach youtube; VODs will be updated on TLPD under the HD World Tournament

if people would prefer them posted in this thread that can be arranged, i just don't want to do wrong by HD

Is there any way to upload the games without spoiling results, like when I see two games the second game is sort of spoiled after the first

Still enjoying the games so far.

Wow! Great setup HD! Really hope to see some more results of the tournament! The game between PainUser and Cruncher was pretty good! Keep up the good casting!

I have made a site for the tournament. This is not an official site or anything, but I just made it so that people could see anti-spoiled games. Its pretty basic but I hope you enjoy it. I also hope that its okay by HD that I have made this site. Major sponsors of the tournament should have been added.

I like your attempt at the spoiler prevention, but like your youtube comments said:

1. Put the right races in it so the picture isn't silly

2. Make it long enough to be believable :D:D

But you're the first (I've seen) to try this, thanks for giving it a shot, you can get it dealt with

Man super dissapointed in the latest games on the HD cast(idra vs socke), has anyone noticed the quality of his casting has gone way way downhill from a couple of months ago. I swear he doesnt know squat about the meta game anymore he sees a 3 gate expand goes ooooh hes going for 4 gate (even though the expansion is already going up) then socke drops down a stargate and he goes OOOH i think hes going for a 6 gate, he clicks on the stargate 3 times and doesnt notice its a stargate until its actually, done. It honestly feels like hes trying to cater to 15 year olds these days, he says "balls out bonkers" at least 10 times a cast wich is starting to get really annoying and his lack of knowledge about the trends in the current meta game are dissapointing,

At first i tried to ignore it but with this latest game idra vs socke its just really bad, he also hasnt posted game 1 yet he posted game 2 as game 1 and gave a spoiler to gaame 1 in the first few seconds, then he game 2 as game 2 as well, so there is no game 1 and he spoiler'd it in the first few seconds =/, I really hope he steps it up and tries to be a bit more serious for the IGN pro league super dissapointed in his casts recently, he used to be my favourite youtube caster after day 9.

Very disappointing effort from HD so far I must say, Doesn't seem to know anything about the current strategies and non stop says something completely false. Finally started posting spoiler free 3rd games now so I guess it's getting better, even though all other casters started doing that a long time ago.

Any Photoshop-wizzes out there that can help me with a HD World Tournament banner for my site zzyzx.nu/HD-WorldTournament? I need a banner for the head of the page, preferably with HD World Tournament as text, with a darkish background. The height should be 200px or less, and the width either pretty small(like around 200px), or no more than 1024px.. If anyone is able to help pls drop me an e-mail at: qzzyzxq (at) gmail (dot) com.

Painuser is hilarious. Can't believe that actually worked, defiantly the most entertaining cheese ever.

I like HD, and the effort that he makes. Whatever you want to say about him, he and husky were responsible for introducing SC 2 vods and such to a whole bunch of people during the beta.

Having said that, HD you casting could improve. The knowledge sometimes isn't there, and it would be fine if it were merely not noticing things, but when you mention something that is in glaring contravention of what is happening, it is very jarring for the player. I know when I watch some of the games I was mentally going "but... the expansion is right there! notice it!"

And as for the banter, I think at times its too forced. Some of the jokes fall cold and they can be awkward. Game knowledge just comes with reading and playing more sc2, but i'm not sure what to say about the banter. Maybe just try to be more natural in your jokes.

I think right now you could decide to adopt one style more - either be more analytical or be funny, and not try to do both at the same time. That way once you figure on style out you can experiment with the other.
