'OH NO THEY ARE CREATING HYPE SO CHEESY AND EMBARRASSING WTF'... pls go
seriously people in this thread have NO IDEA what awkward means, it's like you've never been at a event or social situation.
but it is cheesy and embarrassing
everyone already knows who mc and puma are, no need for over the top shitty videos
Or they could be watching it and not follow Starcraft at all like my wife who finds it really enjoyable to have an introduction and an explanation for each player.

Puzzle, Ret Alicia, Huk, Puma, MC, Stephano and Hero are the only ones who can win. Still we see games of TT1 and so on?

Think WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), it's supposed to be exaggerated & fun!
This isn't wrestling... And these players aren't actors.
Michael and Bruce Buffer have used Clutch's same delivery method for the past 30 years when introducing the participants in combat sports like Boxing and UFC. Guys like Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Sugar Ray Leonard...etc etc.
if you'd like to go a couple of rounds with Brock Lesnar and then let me know how good an actor he is... i'd like to see that.

So you have to watch a European update because MC and Puma are warming up in their booths. Ladafuckingda. The games will be up soon. Enjoy the fact you're getting to watch them.
Couldn't we have shown their hype videos while they were warming up in their booths? That would be the logical thing to do.

then camera's in such bad positions that dickweeds in the crowd are blocking out the caster's faces with those big clappy things and gretorps face with a sign saying "My names huk and i like to fuck" - while funny, really?
I hope it gets better then the first two minutes , at least they have more then the 2nd season's finals there XD
Who is that caster with gretorp anyhow?
Frodan, he used to cast Playhem and he's been casting Season 3 with Gretorp. He's pretty good. Does a lot of research into the players and it shows.

I think your idea of an E-Sports event is boring and I hope you never run a League.
I guess this is your idea of a perfect introduction: "THIS WILL BE THE BEST MATCH OF ALL TIME. AND THE NEXT ONE TOO!". Well, i would get tired of it the third time in a row.
