 Anyway, sick OP. Great, great work! Also: if you need any help with writing or something like that for hype, I'll be more than happy to help. You've done a lot for the community with all the stuff you've done with LR-threads, that's the least someone could do :p | ||

Fan interviews can be by anyone based on fandom-ness and ability to write a fun interview, but game analysis should be by people who understand the game and players well enough to say something meaningful. Should also be as objective and unbiased as possible, so a writer should not do the writeup for his favorite or least favorite player. It would help to have some sort of format too. | ||

If it were up to me it would be formatted something like this: I. How He Got Here Group Stage 1 1. Game #, vs Player 2. Map 3. Chosen build or strategies by each player 4. Summary of the game 5. Short Analysis Group Stage 2 1. Game #, vs Player 2. Map 3. Chosen build or strategies by each player 4. Summary of the game 5. Short Analysis Ro8 1. Game #, vs Player 2. Map 3. Chosen build or strategies by each player 4. Summary of the game 5. Short Analysis II. How He's Performed 1. General Overview of Preferred Strategies 2. Map preferences 3. Trends and common occurences in games (common mistakes, flaws, or advantages won) 4. General Performance Review III. How He's Likely to Perform 1. Overview of how he plays out a series 2. Likely plan for the series given the map pool 3. Likely/strong strategies per map and why 4. Head-to-Head analysis of probably strategies 5. Head-to-head comparison of strengths/weaknesses IV. Predictions 1. Predictions for each map 2. Predictions for the series Something like that, doesn't have to be long, it should just have as much relevant info as possible to get everyone hyped up for the match | ||

The way I see it, the preview should just give an overview of a player's play styles, map preferences, play styles on different maps, common strategies and tactics, and general analysis of his performance for the season. A blow-by-blow for every game he's played would be waaaaaay too long. If it were up to me it would be formatted something like this: + Show Spoiler + I. How He Got Here Group Stage 1 1.

Yeah maybe that's also a bit too much, too long. People don't like reading. T_T the thing I posted might work better for a finals, you're right. Why X will win GSL could be cool, as long as someone really funny and smart does it. | ||
