Disappointing/anti-climactic end to a great tournament, thx for the casting marathon, Mr. Biscuit and all the guys (and girls) involved in making this tourny possible!  Feels like Morrow went from revolutionizing TvZ in the first game to uncreative allins cuz he wasn't rly able to deal with ling/baneling/muta instead of infestor/bl. + Show Spoiler + Yeah, I'm exaggerating a bit here. Nerchio has been mannered lately, maybe because he's been winning so much. His BM is still stuck in my mind though. Using a few more ghosts and getting good upgrades isn't rly a revolution and Morrow isn't the first doing it. But i feel like this style is way underused and I haven't seen it in serious high level games rly Btw, i loved the player introductions! TB's voice seems to be made for this! <3 | ||

Still, I think the format needs some considering. TB said on stream that he will likely make it a two-day tournament in the future because it's too long as it is now. However, that kind of defeats one of the original ideas behind this tournament which was to make it compact and time-efficient: get in - play - get out, all in one day. Why not just do Bo3s? Or would that cut too much screentime? | ||

I will know more precise figures as the month goes on. Please note all players have been paid. I would challenge every other tournament to treat pros properly and pay up promptly, you cannot have pros if they don't get to eat because of tardy sponsors. Now I'm going to bed. Seriously admirable TB. Hats off to you sir! | ||

Morrow on cheese tilt, too bad his macro games were good, but I guess he's still not so experienced in modern TvZ (timings and all). | ||

Or would that cut too much screentime? My concern with BO3s is it isn't really enough to give the players a fair shot at proving themselves. It works in a league with group stages but in a single elimination? Definitely not. I'll have to carefully consider the format. Because the pros have to stick around for the majority of the day, it's unpleasant for them, plus it causes organisational problems when they have to play other games in the interim and there are clashes. | ||

A co-caster would have been nice, shame that you couldn't find one on short notice. I really think having an "expert" kind of caster along with TB, maybe an an active player or something, would make for a nice caster combination. It will be hard to find the perfect format for this kind of tournament tho, it's obvious that having the players dedicate the whole day for it is not perfect but I don't think having them all available at multiple days will be much easier... we'll see. Even if you don't think bo3 is a good format for this you should at least think about it imo, it would save a ton of time... anyways, looking forward to more SHOUTcraft initationals. | ||

I think the tournament should be done using replay casts, that way despite the loss of excitement the time efficiency would still be very good, anyways well done TB, thats a monumental effort for pulling that off, 11 hours straight plus the pain of organising has likely given you a few stomach ulcers, but good job none the less. | ||
