The whole Olympics Badminton DQ thing reminded me of this

Oh god, i still remember this series as if it was yesterday. It caused so much rage on the forums eventhough it was so extremely funny. Best series ever played.
On topic:
Looking at the Matches, the only game where i don't expect a 1-sided stomp seems to be SaSe vs Nightend, though maybe if Brat_OK plays his best then him vs PuMa might get interesting, too. All the other games look like easy 2:0 sweeps.
Edit:
Wait, did i read that correctly: "he main event will feature two pairs of shoutcasters, Apollo and TLO on one hand, "?
I think i'll take half a day vacation this afternoon to watch that live.

So... is this the first time an ASUS ROG tournament hasn't landed on the same days as an MLG event? I'm pretty fuckin' excited, I finally get to dedicate ruining my sleep schedule to a European tournament, instead of having to juggle MLG at the same time. ^_^

Does anybody know if and how the issues with 1.5 are going to affect the tourney?

Btw guys Richard Lewis who did numerous interviews at HSC is going to be there also so keep an eye on Cadred as I'm sure he'll have some more great interviews up there.

The funny thing about that series is that both played to avoid sen yet stephano ended up beating sen regardless, reminds me of WCG when stork and a Chinese protoss tried to lose on purpose to avoid jaedong, stork won and ended beating jaedong anyway.

I know its summer vacation and all but why does it have to start so early?
For the working people in europe who want to watch it's not cool. Ideally you come home at 17:00-18:00 take a shower, grab a beer and then the tournament starts (or a bit later in the evening). Now it's gonna be like.. you come home and rush to computer to see what and howmuch of the competition you have missed. sigh
Anyone know roughly howmuch bandwidth in total MB it is to watch stream for 2-3hours on 360p or 480p? Don't want to rush throu 1.5gig in mobile bandwidth so early in the month  .

You realise that, if they start even at 6pm (not even considering your 'or a bit later in the evening'), this could go on until way after midnight? The schedule has 8 games played at the same time already and they apparently still plan for about 9 hours.

I am on a student internet so I take to the habit of watching my bandwidth very closely not to exceed the 7 GB/Week limit. If i remember correctly watching a 480p video for two hours from twitch.tv usually spent around 700-800MB.
