No offence but you guys do a really poor job promoting these.
You have a tournament featuring the likes of MarineKing, Bomber, Zenio, Ace, Supernova etc competing on their home server in a money tournament but there will be about 1/10th as many viewers as there should be because you haven't sufficiently promoted it.
If you have a guy like MarineKing playing then draw attention to it as it's a big selling point. Put his name in the OP and make sure you contact a TL admin to get your stream featured on the side bar (this alone will guarantee a few thousand more viewers than you would otherwise get).
I feel like it's going to be a great tournament that barely anyone will watch because they don't know it's happening.

I think editing in the korean players that are playing into the OP and just generally providing a bit more information would be better. This looks like a fucking awesome tournament so gj organizers! Just a shame it hasn't gotten as much publicity yet as it could have.
|
I had no idea this tournament existed, but here we have almost every big name in Korea besides some people that weren't knocked out of GSL playing.....
|
Wow, I just saw this for first time because someone mentioned it at GSL topic. Really poor promoting of tournament with players of highest caliber.
You didn't even put this event @ TLnet's Calendar. 
P.S.
It says 13:00h CET Asian tournament, but streams OP provided are offline. Any news?

Haha, glad a few people swung by to check it out, figured someone should make a mention of it given there's a pretty stacked line up
The OP says 8am EST which is 1pm for me, and 2pm CET. I'm guessing there's a slight mixup there in the times listed in the OP?

complete ignorance for so many big names, what a shame..

Probably it´s CET and not CEST (summertime/daylight saving) so it would start in 25 min. But just a guess, only read CEST often on TL, not familiar with this...
Fantastic lineup, didn´t notice this tounament before. Time to keep the thread up so more people notice 
Edit: link to bracket http://www.sk-gaming.com/tournament/1190 already some results, so spoilers ahead

How tragic that a tournament with so many good players is going to be watched by so few.
|
nice event but are the replays available after the tournament?
|
Streams still don't work.
