Only bad part: My thunderstick got a hole in it halfway through. Oh, and that it didn't go all 9 games. But I can forgive both those points, because I was there when White-Ra used the Phoenix Range Upgrade! Glad you had a good time. Out of curiousity, were there a lot of people there who had not been familiar with Esports before watching this event? | ||

No idea, at least not for the people sitting in the seats actively watching. I'm sure there were lots of people around at the other booths that hadn't, though. I hope there were! | ||

I imagine so, for the crowd's cheering dramatically shifted towards the underdog in a fashion too swift for knowledgable fans. In my observations, those familiar only with the spirit of competition and not the faces or context seem to exhibit such behavior. On the other hand, the attendees could simply be fair-weather fans, as I mentioned elsewhere. Everyone loves an underdog, but it seems more appropriate to me when fans shift toward the one displaying better skill, not the other way around. Oh well, I had a blast. | ||

Stephano definitely outclassed Whitera, who didn't stand a chance expect if Stephano makes a quick yet fatal blunder like in game 1. The audience was really nice though, they visibly enjoyed the show. The last game was really good though, Stephano barely held a carrier 2 base timing (yes, it exists ^^) with excellent crisis management and a LOT of spores. Whitera took a third behind that and was in a good position to split the map but Stephano had perfect timing with his corruptor army to snipe the mothership right before he had enough energy for vortex. He also neuraled something like 4 archons at one point which did a lot of damage to whitera's air army. Overall it was a really good non standard game. | ||
