Wow this is such a good Idea! Plus its scheduled at 8pm on a weekday so I can get together with some friends and chill with more good team league action. Plus I can definitely see some Barcraft happening this season if the casting/production is good enough. It's IPL so shouldn't have any problems there.

"Very impressive for perfect to stay alive past that point."

Are you serious? Like actually serious? It wasn't impressive for perfect, it was just IdrA being overly paranoid and cautious, and Perfect refusing to GG lol.

I know casters say some stuff that doesn't make sense all the time, but that's just talking for the sake of trying to be "unbiased" when its clearly unnecessary.

This Spades vs. Machine game is barely watchable. The worst players in Code A do not produce games close to this bad.

Summary:
Machine loses 128712 mutalisks by having them killed by missle turrets while doing other things and having them stop over random parts of Spades' base.
Machine has 7 bases and only 2 queens.
Spades cannot marine micro to save marines from banelings *at all*.
Machine runs random banelings into siege tank lines

hard to tell if they aren't taking it seriously or foreign players that aren't near the top of the foreign scene are just bad or if there's some other factor that made the game hard to play (lag? time? something?)

Basically, I watch a lot of starcraft and do not generally make negative posts, but if this is the game quality of this tournament, it's not going to last.

Oh, also: I'm horrible at SC2 and would probably get mauled by either of these players. But it's like watching Division 3 NCAA Women's basketball.

I'm LATE. Can anyone post the quick results so far. How did it get to 2-2? thanks

Just a suggestion... I think you need an overlay with the current score of the match and the $$ on the line (to track the bounty each week) so the casters don't have to repeat this info and people just tuning in will know what's going on. Great format otherwise, looking forward to all the matches.

edit: Looks like there's an overlay now but you can't tell which players are currently playing!

i like the fact we get commentated clanwars, but please do not reduce them to simple 1v1 :x this is no more than a "king of the hill"

i really really would love to see 2v2's ! really !

I get annoyed when tournaments use outdated versions of the maps for no reason sorry. Can you update Bel’Shir Beach to the newest version please I don't think this one is balanced. (The newer one has two xel'naga towers and an extra expansion in the corner)

i get really exited about this team arena. i think this will bring out story lines that make tournaments interesting. who are the ace players for certain teams? how long can a certain team hold #1 spot? and who will get the $100 bounty for knocking down those strong teams?

i love it! cant wait for next week.

Great team league I am loving it so far. Even though EG lost I thought Demuslim was showing some really promising play and I am stoked to see a really strong thinking terran like I think he will be.
