I laughed so much about all the helmet-related banter that went on in the LR thread during the closing ceremony. | ||

I'd say your points 1-4 are wrong. Dont know about the rest. No, they are not wrong. The tournament was new, no liquid players played in it, no foreign players were in the finals, and french was the main language of tournament. How was any of these points wrong? I didn't say each of these points by themselves was reasons why the tournament was badly covered. I said that these were the variables which combined resulted in a bad coverage. How much was the tournaments you mentioned covered? I browsed the featured news around those dates and saw no featured news regarding The Gathering or Copenhagen Games. The closest to covering I saw was that the thread about Copenhagen Games in SC2 Tourneys forum was started by bumblebee but that was probably because he is from Denmark and was one of the commentators in that tournament... | ||

I especially loved watching the ZvZ, I think that's going to be a marquee matchup ala TvT in SC2 once things are said and done. That's true. All the games were really dynamics with always tons of actions. + Show Spoiler + A lot of mobile units in all the games and no turtling strategies made that really exciting. There was not a single broodlord or a siege tank war. All the games were really entertaining. | ||

The trio of EU tournaments was covered in the Featured News in a single article: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=326226 | ||

Hero was competing in Iron Squid. I think an explanation could be that the format was a bit similar to TSL and they saw it as a competitor or something. | ||

- showmatches with popular non sc2-related guests - casting more action oriented and a in-depth analysis after the game with a specific guest - almost no waiting time : there was always something going on on stage. - Event organized in a theater, not in a game specific convention. - the Live Event feeling : 4 man band In Uchronia playing out on stage everything that was going on. Just like in US talk shows. - Another live performance of Mr Vert, who got backed up by In Uchronia for a song. Original ! And of course the people and the passion ! I'm glad they just didn't copy the other tournaments and found their tone. It was pure entertainment and fun. Ok I'm french and it definitely worked better on me than any other. I hope TL is going to do more this time. | ||

The tension was at its peak, I was in the second row. The room was full. Yes we scream all the time. But we waited so long for such an event. The Grand Rex is a legendary venue in Paris! 2600 (2800?) seats. A great atmosphere. A guy who cried every 30 minutes "naked!" Sometimes we cried for nothing, especially during interviews. Our four Koreans are so quiet we wanted to show them our love! There will be two Iron Squid for September, announced at the end. The ESWC was not at all alike, even if it was as great when Stephano won! It was a great show, Pomf & Thud are awesome. Standing ovation for Symbol when he won against Nestea! Incredible. Nestea we love you! We cried every time we saw him! He looked so embarrassed. Little video of Nestea: | ||

I think many people switched not because P&T are bad casters (they sureley aren't), but more because of French. I am french, and i really prefer an english casting over a french one, even with the same "level of casting". But definitely not "all" the french people. P&T have a quite big fanbase in France, so definitely no. | ||

Zerg generally pool money/larva for when certain tech pops and than spend it all at once. If an attack by a terran hits prior to, or during, when those tech units are popping, your going to lack units. If its before those tech units start being built, you can instead build other units, which generally cost far less, leaving you with a bank and no larva. It's not that Symbol couldn't macro, its that in the position he was in he had no way to probably produce the proper units. It's a rather common problem and one that really separates the master's of the zerg race from the good of the zerg race. As Terran, you should(and MMA almost always does) have perfect production for their economy. They generally will have exactly enough rax/factories/starports that are constantly pumping out units 95%+ of the time after they get their techlab/reactor on. Terran can't save minerals/gas and dump them into a unit because of how their production works. If they stop producing they are simply behind on units until they max out. It is actually one of the reasons Terran are harder at the lower levels, a single missed production round means your at least 10 supply down until you max. It's also the reason Terran don't float money nearly as highly as protoss and zerg do early game. | ||
