Special thanks to Special Endrey, who sacrifed almost the entire day - out of the schedule - for making english commentaries possible. Always nice cast by him. I saw some great games and a reasonable event. More charity in starcraft please! | ||

Quite sad TBO-stream was without sound, but Grubby giving TLO his scarf was one of the cutest things ever anyways ^^ Hope the organizers learn from their mistakes and won't be flamed to much. The event was a great idea and it's simply unfortunate it turned out like that. So: GZ TLO - you earned it big times Thx for this cool charity tounament And plz hurry to upload the VODs :D:D | ||

I want to apologize for the huge messup. I'm entirely responsible myself for all the technical issues. We got a fine sound signal out of the audio mixer for the on-site sound system and when connecting speakers or headphones instead of the 2 different sound cards we had on the production computer we also had a very clear signal there. I still don't quite understand what happened, especially as when we tested it before we got a good signal into the computer. My biggest offence probably is that I tried to make the production work like it was planned to instead of realizing that it would be better to give up some parts but have the basics working. In the end the fixes we tried to do messed up the video production too anyways. I could go into lengthy details what caused us to lose so much time that despite being at the venue since Thursday we couldn't get stuff done properly when it mattered, but in the end it comes down to mistakes on my side. I'm so sorry for the players, Totalbiscuit, the audience and most of all the charities.. You deserved better. I disappointed you. Aurel Wünsch | ||

It was great to meet everyone, watch the games, listen to the casters (and try to absorb all their knowledge through osmosis or something). Aurel is an amazing host and really generous. The guys at CK-99 were really accomodating, too. Thanks guys! I came for a particular reason, a project that Aurel and I were working on: StarGraphed. Sadly, due to the aforementioned technical difficulties and TB needing my laptop more than I did, I couldn't show it during the stream. However, I got the prototype working and learned the important information from it: - Any existing map can be modified. - Neither players nor casters experienced lag, even with the pretty heavy stat output - It didn't crash horribly The Eagle Eyed among you may have seen, on Metropolis, some text output saying "Races: 1, 2" for example. Entirely my doing. I didn't upload the new version for that one that removed the debug text. Oops! Antiga Shipyard didn't work and, stupidly, I made it rely on human interaction. That human being unreliable and really tired: me. Therefore, we don't get output from all the games. However, We did get a few: Games 1 - 4 of the final (5 was on Antiga >:|) The awesome 40 mintute game between TLO and Grubby. A few others. What this is: It is a stat capturing system for modified maps in SC2. The maps are modified to be identical apart from the outputting of information within the game. The idea of this prototype demonstration was to capture: Supply makeup, split into workers t1/t2/t3 (ish. Depends on the race, the legends explain the graph) A heat map of unit combat throughout the map. Unit deaths are recorded by the map and output for StarGraphed to interpret and create a heat map of where everything died. This is all generated from the gameplay data within 20 seconds of the game finishing! Introductory map for this: TLO vs Grubby Group Stage Game 3 ![[image loading]](http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q619/Gowerly/StarGraphed%20Prototype%20at%20Heat%20Tournament/GrubbyvsTLOGame3.png) Game 3 of TLO vs Real - TLO's Drone rush (What a game that was): ![[image loading]](http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q619/Gowerly/StarGraphed%20Prototype%20at%20Heat%20Tournament/TLOvsRealGame3Final.png) Game 2 of TLO vs Grubby (DESTRUCTION!): ![[image loading]](http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q619/Gowerly/StarGraphed%20Prototype%20at%20Heat%20Tournament/GrubbyvsTLOGame2.png) Disclaimer: I know this one starts at 118/140 food. This is entirely my fault. Thankfully not much fighting had happened at that point. Full album is available here. I hope to work on this more in future, add some other features (ability to see only one persons kills in the heat map, allow it to fill in over time, etc) I must thanks Aurel for taking the time even when organising the tournament to provide me with the maps to edit, and for doing the first draft of the map triggers. I hope people enjoy seeing Star Graphed and very much hope that it is taken up and used in more tournaments. Thanks again to Aurel, TotalBiscuit and Soe, as well as the people at CK-99 for running a great tournament. I look forward to going to another tournament soon! | ||

I could not have said this any better really. I've only exclusively heard positive reactions about this amazing event. I'd like to give a special shoutout to SpecialEndrey for being a boss and providing us with an English stream, eventhough he was severly sleep-deprived and was casting the HEAT charity event from a freezing cold back-office ( Oh the irony... ) You sir are a hero. Also thanks to Mori for keeping the non-german speaking viewers updated at the start of the event, your English is not bad at all and honestly the accent only adds to the charm ! @ Gowerly : that is some really awesome stuff right there, very intresting ! :O | ||

I work as an IT-guy myself and I know how hard it is to identify and solve a problem on the spot. Especially when all the testing beforehands seemed to work. Just try to look at it as a learning experience. You had an amazing idea and a lot of the production stuff was great and showed what passion you and the staff put into it. I actually look forward to your future events - so stick with it!! | ||
