Yea the terrible patchzergs violet and stephano already won two matches, one of violets was even a zvz and stephano had code S caliber opponents like BabyKnight and Axslav. Zerg lol.
Ret got knocked out by the world class terrans ganzi and qxc. But terrans like qxc are on another level so it is a disgrace he even managed to take a map of qxc.
Hawk lost to Naniwa and Thorzain, but no one knows hawk and nani+thorzain are swedes so he couldn't really do anything.
Sheth lost a zvz, and beat ToD who is known to talk for hours on end about how easy he find PvZ, while sheth has a notoriously terrible mindset and cannot handle even mid-tier foreigners.
Yes business as usual (which is to say there are no "roflstomp"-level overall imbalances in the game, certain phases of some matchups are broken, lategame in particular, and some tournaments have a thing called variance which means you can pick some rounds where zergs did extremely well or some rounds where P/T did well).

looks like you get insulted by people that call themselves "casters" nowadays when you have an opinion, gotta love "esports".

Insulting players, shitting on everyone's hard work, scoffing at any attempt at hype and fun as insulting your wonderous ESPORTS intellect. Loosen up and get the stick out of your arse
or maybe next time you'll read my comment, watch the outcome of the game and tell yourself, "hey maybe i tried to hype this a BIT too much, turns out it was quite a mess and the level of play was pretty bad", instead of coming here and insulting viewers for basically nothing? the problem is that once you start hyping every single game that much, words don't mean anything anymore. if "sheth vs tod" first round loser bracket is a "stellar match-up by anyone's definition" what do you call MVP vs Life? "the best fucking match ever ever ever of the whole galaxy" ? Like next time you could give us some interesting insight on this very game, for example: "tod has been struggling against zerg for more than a year, could be interesting to see if he has prepared something special" : i'm sure you get a lot more users interested in it than saying it's a stellar match-up when everyone knows it's foreigner ZvP between 2 players that are kinda underperforming as of late.

so stop telling me that "sheth vs tod is a stellar match-up by anyone's definition", i'd rather have people telling the truth than taking me for an idiot during the whole cast.

Your problem is that you're getting at it in the completely wrong way. You're making a massive deal out of what could be considered an annoyance at best. And most people actually really appreciate the casters trying to hype up matches. In this particular case it might not have been very successful, but hell, I don't see how you can get furious at a man for trying.

To be fair.. what he considers "normal speech" sounds to actually normal people like bitching and whining.

How much does the winner get? This topic mentions 35k, liquipedia mention 15k, and no where does it mention how much goes to first place, second place etc.

The 35k is LoL + SC2. It's spread like
LoL: 15k
LoL college teams: 5k
SC2: 15k
I have no idea how the prize money is split among 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.
