This is pretty sad and says a lot about how we think about SOTG's favourite hosts in terms of actual playing skills, Incontrol and Tyler that we would vote nearly full time commentator Rotterdam over Tyler and inexperienced Flo over incontrol.

Agreed on the part where he looked good. But winning this tournament is abit optimistic. Loved his play, but it was pretty clear he can get abit anxious and tries to hard when he is already winning and ends up loosing the game as we did see in the last game. He did some very weird decisions, but he is young. I hope he does very well though.

I feel like this is the problem with some invitational tournaments (ShoutCraft Invitational 3 comes to mind) - there seems to be a much larger than usual gap between several top players (Kas, Sheth, Stephano, SaSe and viOLet) and the rest of the field. I hope some of the underdogs can prove me wrong, but I think some of the group stage matchups could produce a lot of massively one-sided games.

Great point. Frankly, there are quite a few ladder superstars who are quite a bit better than some of the names being invited to different tournaments (I don't mean to insult anyone participating in this tourney, I'm speaking about invitationals in general). Those players might be able to give some of the top tier a run for their money. But some of the different personalities who end up getting invited pose no threat to actually win the entire tournament.

However, as already mentioned by the tournament organizers, running invitationals is a little easier to admin (though running an online bracket isn't too difficult), and it also gives the tournament more of an appeal.
