The Cyber Sports Network (CSN) is proud to bring the SC2 community a fresh look at StarCraft II competition. The "Rundown" is a weekly eight (8) person, single elimination invitational Cup with commentary by Rance "Mouth" Costa and Garrett "Gwin" Perchel. Combining the 'Nerd analysis' of Gwin and the mouthy antics of Rance, along with sweet music beats, viewer call ins and exclusive content, the Rundown adds a needed edge to the SC2 community.

The Cyber Sports Network announces the return of Rance Costa to esports.

Most of you, if any have heard of Rance... but I can promise you that he will entertain.

Garrett "Gwin" Prechel is a relative newcomer to the esports scene. A self proclamed "Nerd" (with a capital N) Garrett brings the RTS knowledge as a skilled player of both Brood War and Starcraft II.

Each Rundown will feature a couple of exclusive features that are not currently seen in the SC2 Community. Viewers of the stream will have an opportunity to call into the commentators and leave a voice mail with whatever rant they choose. Callers can leave messages about the commentators, the game, players or the tournament itself without having to leave their real name or engage in a live conversation.
Cyber Sports Network has secured exclusive rights to show 'FRAG The Movie' each night following the championship. 'FRAG' is an independently produced movie by Judd Saul and covers the last 30 years of the 'esports'. FRAG will open many eyes to the beginnings of eSports and to many of the issues facing the industry.

If we can secure 16 players.. i will extend the size of the event. I did want to limit it to 16 or less and try to get as many top players as possible. CSN always will cater to the 'base' players.. but for this event.. I did want to make it more invite and competitive. Introducing a new caster to this community is hard enough and I am sure he will take his fair share of slack.. so I figured keeping the tournament small and simple with some top names would defer from it a bit 
dde.. you interested?

sorry.. had to. I am sure you know how hard on casters this community is. *Warning, opinion coming*..
Its pretty baffling to me how critical the community is and then to see some casters get huge praise and stream viewers.. who basically just tell you what you can already see or rant and rave nonsense on stream for 4 hours. Granted, there is something to say about casters that can keep the viewer 'entertained'... but when a caster that does what he/she does for the passion of the game and who is pretty solid of a caster, gets beat on by the community.. it's just baffling.
*end of rant*
Anyway.. if you are interested.. looks like we have a spot open. You (whoever is still interested) will need to message me privately on TL though.. so I can get you the details.
Thanks again for all of the support. I know that for many.. RANCE will be a success! Good thing about RANCE though.. he could care less what most people think of him.. He is pretty laid back guy with a fierce ability to say it like he sees it. Truly the 'no fluff' zone.

Ha.. just thinking this through.. Rance is coming back to casting.. and I hook him up with a lineup of players that could end up making him nervous as hell.

Invite some CheckSix players - they always do decent at MLG's.
|
I would love to.. I did send an invite out to the 2 or 3 that had joined some of our previous tournaments.. but no response yet. I would love to really mix it up. Wonder where the EG players are hiding
