I just don't see how this helps SEA players out any more than playing against these players in normal matches (and I also don't see how games can be entertaining on those maps, but that's a different issue altogether). I thought the entire point of the tournament was to get more exposure for good SEA players? "With this event, we aim to promote SEA and SEA eSports - showing the rest of the world that SEA know how to do it.. and have fun while we do! We hope to bring exposure to some of SEA's top players in a fun and exciting medium." How can you show that SEA know how to do it when the games are on novice maps? Good luck with the tournament an' all, but IMO the format is ridiculous. I'm sad that you can't see the fun in it.. Sadly, the SEA scene is sooo small that this will be big for SEA, we will be showcasing the top players in SEA. The format is in place to show that we, while not being up to the top notch of the Kr scene, we know how to have fun! I hope people tune in, chill out and enjoy the show. It's not going to be the standard high quality games.. but it will be a great laugh. If that doesn't interest you, sorry - but as it has been stated - a $350 tournament is a tiny blip - this 'Funny games' Style is our point of difference. We're not 'serious' about the builds and standard of play.. but I assure you, 200/200 Sentries or Viking Drops - can get rather funny to watch. Maybe you should check it out if your still a bit sceptical - you might surprise yourself and catch yourself laughing at the games and enjoying it. Plus the stream give aways will be great for the viewers! | ||

That said, I've never heard of this caster you've announced. If he's good I'm sure people will follow. I don't really understand why SEA events always have a SEA caster though. | ||

The whole point is it's a ridiculous format, we aren't trying to show we have good players in SEA this tournament, as someone else said, there's like a tournament a week in which you can check out the SEA scene's players in with this kind of prize-pool if you wanted. The whole point of this tournament is just for the players to have fun and mess around and for viewers to see what it looks like when great players play offraces on island maps  .I understand your point of "But you could do other things that would further the SEA scene better" yeah, I agree, and those things are being done, but this is just to muck around and have fun and give people a chance to watch, if you cant see the fun in it then I feel sorry for you Mr.Buzzkillington. | ||

This was always the biggest differential to me - I'd always watch a stream over a low-profile tournament with a bad caster. I really recommend offering someone known $100 and good times/sex while cutting the prize pool a little next time you're organising an event. That said, I've never heard of this caster you've announced. If he's good I'm sure people will follow. I don't really understand why SEA events always have a SEA caster though. Hey man, I'm the caster for this event and I was invited because I've been doing a fair bit for the SEA community lately and most people seem to enjoy what I do The creators of the event will be co-casting with me because they are the creators and also pretty awesome characters themselves. If you go here there's a link to some of my recent online VODs if you're interested.On February 29 2012 07:36 Ftrunkz wrote: I understand your point of "But you could do other things that would further the SEA scene better" yeah, I agree, and those things are being done, but this is just to muck around and have fun and give people a chance to watch, if you cant see the fun in it then I feel sorry for you Mr.Buzzkillington. You're absolutely right, in fact SC2SEA has been running a pretty successful pro league over the past couple months where the pro teams go head to head. Casted some games ~11 hours ago with one of our great SEA casters (Zepph) and they were amazing Check the VODs on that bad boy here. | ||
