The bigger the amount of people to organize the harder it is. Even if you have more people doing the organizing. Just a little fun fact. | ||

Just take a break for a bit and wait for games to come back. Well, you're in Hong Kong and not tired as hell. Some people need to have something to watch so they don't fall asleep. | ||

Adun only knows how the old guard actually did it. But evidently the coddled pansies we have here would probably be cutting their wrists to Linkin Park's Crawling if they ever had to endure the like. It's human nature to get spoiled, whould you like to live in a shed ? We used to ! Fact is for Blizzards standards this tournament is lacking in quality. | ||

Seriously, what the fuck does the 08-09 era have anything to do with late 2012? Streaming is far easier to put on. We should be moving forward, not regressing. Back than streams were appreciated, because it was only a few years earlier where you were listening to podcasts with no video, or purely reading a LR thread, or watching vods a few weeks later, depending on what era you joined. I appreciate that they have done decent so far. It doesn't mean we shouldn't be a little annoyed that they have 4 streams and dozens of games with 12 casters, and not one of them had content. | ||

WCS finals has the prizepool of a world final, but not the level of players to justify it as a grand tournament since there are too few krs in it and a lot of the best, ie kr terrans are missing. | ||

It's supost to improve we should not be thankful and in awe every time something get's hosted. Fact is for Blizzards standards this tournament is lacking in quality. Yeah, I agree. I'm not saying criticism is invalid or unwarranted, but seriously, people commenting that this is the 'worst tournament ever'? These people need perspective. Hell, look at the last Blizzcon. | ||

It's, "Okay, Creator wins against Nerchio! Was that the winners' match?" Cut to cut scenes for 20 minutes. Back to a new game. Repeat. There is no ongoing narrative or a panel of people to hype the upcoming matches, keep a story going, etc. I'm sure it'll be better on Day 2 with less streams and a more condense story with only sixteen players left, but may be a little too late. I also can't wait for when the semifinals happen at the same time. | ||
