Nice prize pool for a group of 8 players, definitely makes it worthwhile for them and all of us watching. Looking forward to watching the games! Thanks TB.

Also, this^. Most one day invitational things I've seen top out at around $200-$300. With $800 for a single day of play, I'm sure this is bound to attract quite a high level of talent.

Love your casting, TB!

Some constructive (I hope) criticism:

At this point in your laddering career I think your overall understanding of the game would greatly benefit from giving the other two races a go. A recent example that comes to mind is game 2 of Kas vs Morrow (Dailymotion Cup), where Kas tried to punish Morrow's early hatch. Morrow successfully defended the bunker/hellion pressure giving Morrow the advantage going into the mid-game, yet even after Kas pulled back after doing minimal damage you were saying Kas was making a mockery of Morrow. You then said Kas' banshee harassment was "ripping through Morrow completely" but again, despite losing his spire Morrow was clearly ahead despite/because of Kas' harassment.

I doubt you would be making as many mistakes if you had more experience with your off-races. It would also make you a better Terran player.

Very cool to see, and honestly just the type of tourney the pro's need. Excited to see the other 7 competitors!

Bear in mind, I am aiming to host an event every month so this is a test of the format and is subject to change in future tournaments. I suppose you can call this our "Clash of the Titans" test-bed.

This entire tourney sounds really good, and the part I quoted makes it even better!

Would you call this one the "June SHOUTcraft Invitational" or the "May .." because the money was raised in May?

This is great, can't wait. I hope this is a success and you host more of these. Plus I'd love to see if you could get more casters involved. I'd love to see your professional broadcasting talents mixed with some more analytical casters.

Thanks TB! You're one of my favorite Starcraft 2 proponents...Next to Day9 of course ;D

TB! Love one day tournaments, we dont have enough of those. Also, would be nice to see some of the "lesser known" players in this. And by lesser known i mean like Sase, Happy, Cruncher, Hashe, Thisisjimmy etc... They are not "lesser known" realy, but its not like you see them in every tournament like you do with Idra, Morrow, White-ra, TLO, Naniwa etc...
