Oh.. and you just lost around 60% of your viewers (from over 4k down below 1500). Not much you can do, I know, but the more JTV gets to hear that, the better. | ||

If leagues are really trying to maximise or compete for viewers it seems ludicrous not to include any Korean pro's. I'm sure a lot of people watching a tournament want to see the absolute best players in the world competing. IPL doesn't provide this, and whoever wins this season will have question marks over the meaning of their result due to no korean being present. IPL seems to have made the choice not to have any Koreans involved. Hopefully this will be remedied for season 3. Sadly I'm no-where near as excited for season 2 as I could have been. | ||

The match that just played was ViBe vs Tarson, won't spoil who won, but from the front page looks like it was a R1 match, not qualifier... | ||

Eh, not true - the lag really is not that bad. Look at every FXO event ever; on US but great games. | ||

We are slowly but surely expanding our player base and we absolutely intend to be as inclusive as possible in the future. We still have a lot of the top talent in the world and we believe everyone will really enjoy their games. | ||

I know. But I just watched ViBe vs Tarson on the stream. Vibe vs Tarson also happens to be one of the Round 1 matches (NOT qualifier). Did they make a mistake in showing who won? Winner: + Show Spoiler + Vibe | ||
