There's 6 spots left.  | ||

But who am i to judge, im sure you'll do just fine ^^ I have only announced 3 out of 8 players so far. | ||

TB has a very busy schedule and a big workload to produce the content for his channel and does this almost 7 days a week so he can make a living of it. This means that even on the weekend he's usually working and does not have time to watch streams because he is busy making a living. Besides that, TB has done a lot in order to support the E-sport community such as dedicating a lot of time to casting starcraft 2 games for his channel. The views and therefore income for these videos are, I believe, much lower then his other content. Besides that he has been involved in the scene since the beta covering tournaments such as the i40 in the UK, IGN Proleaugue, guest casting NASL (Dreamhack soon?), sponsering show matches and now organizing a tournament with his own money. He may not be the most populair guy on the scene but to accuse him of not supporting E-sports is just silly on so many levels. The fact that he then gets a little annoyed with these people is understandable in my opinion. Anyway, looking forward to this tournament | ||

As far as I understand it some people questioned him about the fact the he was streaming while the MLG was underway and ergo not watching it.They seem to see this as a reason to accuse him of not being supportive of E-sports. Not only is this a silly reason to occuse someone of that. It is also completly unfounded. Enormous facepalm right there. I checked in on his stream, and he had like 2k viewers WHILE mlg was going on. | ||

The Twitter "drama" started after a handful of people decided it would be a good idea to flame me for streaming while MLG was on, claiming that I was "not supporting eSports". Some because it conflicted with MLG and as such made viewers choose (which was not true, firstly because the kind of people that watch my stream are an entirely different demographic from the average MLG viewer and secondly because my streams all have freely available VoDs that they could watch afterwards anyway and not have to miss MLG for) and others, gobsmackingly enough, because I was not watching MLG. The second one got to me the most, mainly because I am too busy to ever watch tournaments streams. I want to, but I can't, I spend pretty much all the time I'm awake working, either on eSports projects or on my channel, covering a whole lot of other games rather than just Starcraft. I am very busy and I don't get to relax the same way as your average eSports spectator does. That's fine, I chose this career path and I couldn't be happier with it, but I do not appreciate so-called "fans" deciding that gives them the right to insult me, claim I am anti-eSports or act in an elitist manner because I choose to stream for the lower-level/non-players, rather than watch a high-end tournament. What they failed to realise is that the streaming is to generate revenue to inject directly into eSports. At no point did I ever criticise the MLG, not once and anyone who claims otherwise is nothing but a spineless liar. Needless to say my point about different demographics was proven when I pulled the same viewer numbers that I usually do, while MC vs IdrA was on. Some people are shamefully narrowminded about the sheer numbers of both people who enjoy SC2 and the variety of ways to experience it. | ||

Thanks for putting that money back towards players, you've already got a great line up. Best of luck (and stop bashing on MLG, it was friggin amazing). Are you trolling or what??? He streams to generate money for this tournament, and like he said he bought the pass (supporting e-Sports) so he can watch VOD's if he wants later. He didn't bash MLG at all, he's just a busy man making content for people and hate when people like you go whining to him that he ain't supporting e-Sports because he's streaming to make money for a tournament. | ||
