Maybe it has something to do with both Mouz and Liquid kinda being European teams. Mouz's lineup is admittedly not the most solid for these kinds of events though :/

I'm not saying anything bad about Mouz (in fact we have never won a cw against Mouz in SC2 yet), but I still think that we should have been invited given our overall performance in every team event so far in SC2.

Well its just a pretty insignificant showmatch, 100$ each if they win. I doubt they went into this with the aim of getting the top 2 foreigner teams fighting, but rather to get 2 good and popular teams.

Comes off a bit like if Sen would mention that he should have been chosen over another player in a Complexity the "V" series. Anyways, no hate meant : ).

Visa problems? Late application?

I hope there will be more CWs like that but I think it's not that good organized. One game of each series a day is a bit strange. Would be better to upload one complete bo5 each day.

edit: Don't get me wrong: I love your effort

Being a manager of both teams, I can only say that LUUUX and Bod has been awesome to work with so far! I really like their concept and how he works. Thumbs up - more people like them in eSports.

Watched the first day... Some of the games were decent, some were stomps... but I got annoyed at the lack of the other games.

By the time all of the games roll out, I will have forgotten how each individual Bo5 went, making me lose interest. If you do these again, I really recommend doing a whole Bo5 each day instead since it provides for a lot more continuity between the matches.

Presenting them like this gives the illusion of 5 discrete games as opposed to one series in which we can see the evolution of the mind games, minor adjustments to their play and the logic behind some of their decisions.

Thanks for putting on the event though!

I really liked how you used the new observer overlays in the huk/strelok game TB, please do that more often!

Will do, problem is that some of the customs dont work with the overlay, which Blizz needs to fix.

I watched the games, it was cool to see, i like the way you "dumb down" the commentary for newer watchers, as i recently had my girlfriend watching the TSL with me and i ended up just muting the commentators and commentating myself in a similar style to how you are doing it as she had no idea what they were talking about.

I would also like to add that if there is going to be a Bo5 series, always post them all at once, or it removes any reason to have it. Much of what is attractive about Sc2 as an Esport in my opinion is the story that develops over series and tournaments, but separating the matches you kill any chance of a story developing.

Still, nice work, and ignore the haters TB, we need people who commentate for everyone, sometimes i don't want to watch a hyperanalytical commentary, but i would like to show my friend this cool game, and things like that help me do that and help me bring others in.

If I'm not mistaken mouzSyck was formally Syckness, a former TF2 pro who moved over to SC2 on release and competed in MLG either DC or Dallas.

Luuux <3 esports? Not likely. It strikes me as one of those 'content farm' websites like Expertvillage that floods the web with fluff in the hope of getting clicks.

But thanks for the games nevertheless.

MorroW might take down TLO if TLO is playing Terran, I'd definitely fancy him to take it late game at least.

Huk will probably beat Strelok if he's aggressive/cheesy, if Strelok gets going then it'll be an interesting series but I really don't think many Terrans are confident in TvP lately.

Mana vs Jinro will be fun given Jinro's problems vs Protoss levelling the playing field somewhat (Jinro being generally the better player). Still expect Jinro to win

Hasu vs HayPro is the most interesting on paper, Hayder plays some pretty interesting ZvP and I definitely think he can pull that off.

Syck vs Tyler will be one sided, Syck's not on the same level as the other players involved (yet)

Lomo vs Ret is the same as above, Mouz will pretty much be guaranteed the overall loss due to the lack of depth meaning their top guys have to somehow dominate 3/4 of the top liquid guys.

I wouldn't count these guys out in their matchups ... especially after TSL3, picking favorites is seeming harder and harder based on name recognition alone ...
