This is my first post here on TL and I just wanted to say that I am extremely excited for these matches this week! :D It features some awesome pro players who are given the chance to prove themself for cash prizes, can't go wrong with that! I have heard NanMan's casting in the past on youtube and in the LXG Open events that his clan holds occasionally, which I am also a member of LXG. NanMan's knowledge of the game surpasses his experience playing the game by far and leads him to being one of the best casters I know and have had the joy of listening to! Please watch the matches this week and give NanMan the support he deserves! Tell all your friends to watch the stream and get as many people watching as possible!
Thanks for showing your support for not only me but the players as well! I am currently live now with Day 1 featuring VileIllusion vs DesRow! Tune in to the stream and show your support in the chat!
GG Illusion!!! Great first night of this epic week! :D I definitely recommend everyone tell their friends to tune in for more of the awesome show matches!
Thanks for checking out day 1 it was so epic! I hope you guys enjoyed watching the games as much as I enjoyed casting them! Be sure to check out day 2 tomorrow at the same time between ViBE and Gimix!
Wow this is great to see iSTime play a big name like Sheth! I have been watching Time's stream over the past few months and he plays very well. After listening to his commentary i think he is a very smart player and could maybe take a game! Im rooting for Time!
Be sure to tune in tonight for another set of awesome matches! iSTime vs LiquidSheth is the only PvZ of the week so be sure to leave a comment in this thread showing your support for the players as well as jump in chat and show your support!

At this point in time only vods from the matches will be released on my YouTube channel. There is a playlist dedicated to the entire event to make finding a particular vod easier.

In regards to the stream lag last night I've contacted twitch.tv and hopefully there wont be any issues tonight. Another thing that will help out with stream lag is having more followers on my twitch.tv channel. Which will allow me to apply for the partnership program and I could get better quality settings such as the ablity to change the quality from 240p to 720p.
Thanks again for everyone showing your support and subscribing to my YouTube channel and following me on Twitch.tv so far.
Thanks for the series Minigun vs Qxc, great games by both. I gotta admit I did not enjoy the casting, and I will check back in some time if you straighten out some issues, there are a lot of mannerisms (every storm is huge, every emp is epic and so forth, the same sentence structure over and over, and everything is 'going down' or 'being dropped down). I really appreciate the effort, and the showmatches are awesome, just some constructive criticism
oh and btw the replay is also quite laggy (just the graphics, not the voice), so maybe fps issue on your end?

Thank you for the constructive criticism I really appreciate it. I've been working very hard in this first year to improve my casting and I will be sure to work on the phrases that I constantly use. I'm currently splitting the vod from last night before I start uploading it to YouTube and I haven't seen any lag spikes in the vods luckily. So if you were interested in seeing the matches lag free feel free to check out those games.
Nan Man does an EXCELLENT job casting and these showmatches have been awesome games. Plus I gotta support Team LXG. They do a free Plat and lower tournament pretty consistently open to anyone. These guys are super inclusive and friendly and it's always a good time. Plus you get to play in tournament format and maybe get your game cast on the stream :D
Really enjoying this showmatch. I'm a big Time fan...hoping he takes this last game.
Nanman doing a good job with the casting. Only constructive feedback so far is that sometimes he changes views on the map right when something we were watching was about to have more action. I can only imagine how difficult the observers responsibility in a cast is. I have nothing to compare it to from previous casts because this is the first of his I've watched. Overall it doesn't take too much away from the viewer's enjoyment because he's good at switching back before the action ends.
Drewbie goes to Korea for 2 months, in a real battle with Pokebunny. I know Poke isn't a no-name but I really don't think Drew improved at all. He needs more time over there or to take everything a bit more seriously. Korean bootcamping isn't what I thought it would be.
