Unfortunately we don't have the manpower to cast all 4 tournaments; it's hard enough covering the Open bracket twice a day every single day (EU and NA). There are sometimes independent casters that cover the lower leagues though so it is possible you would be casted sometime =D

Well I guess you just have to join the casting line up then so we do have enough man power.
I'm not sure if it's me just being an idiot, please feel free to call me out if I am XD, but I haven't seen the casts for the last 2 NA playhems. I checked playhemtv on twitch both nights and no stream was running. Are you guys just short on manpower in the NA atm because it is the holidays?

I miss my nightly dosage of playhem =( haha
There were some technical issues yesterday and yes, a lot of people are away because of le holidays. Luckily I don't have a life so Playhem EU tourneys should be cast most of the time!

haha, thanks =D I've never seen anyone cast the EU daily but you (along with a co-caster), so I can assume you're pretty reliable. I'll definitely be tuning in

You're right, there's no way to acces previous tournaments on the website. I'm not trying to make any excuses but Playhem isn't about SC2 alone, it also does other stuff. And things we (you) might see as a priority, might not be as high on the list of Playhem as an entire organisation. (I'm only caster. Just speculating here.)
I'd love to have an easy overview on Playhem.com with the past tournaments + winners + replay packs for the entire tournament. Maybe sometime in the future we will all be able to enjoy such a thing ^^
SIDENOTE
I will probably cover the quarter-finals and onward tonight on my private stream after I'm done eating Christmas dinner with family.
Lyrlian, i love your casting, its really good, but one thing that I noticed today is that you call out gg's really early, things like that can really break the magic, that is all!
I know I do. No reason to make things sound nicer than they really are. If someone is dead, I will not be afraid to throw that out there I'll try to keep it to a minimum though, thanks (:
In my opinion live casting should not allowed in tournies that involve money. Playhem fails to prevent people from cheating in that regard, and it's highly uncomfortable situation where you can just load stream into dual screen as easily as just clicking a button.
EPT
we will make sure to do that, unfortunately we have to submit all tournaments manually so sometimes 1 slips our mind ):
