Too bad the stream was so choppy and there were fewer big names, this was my favorite thing to watch last year. Friday night, beer + barbeque, KOTH. Boss.

Hopefully more pros play the beta before release, or we're going to have a sparse few months. Also, the stream fixed in time for the last 3 minutes of a 200-60 supply game. Bleh. Fun casting though.

From a player point of view I am very dissappointed by how this was ran. I ended up waiting 4 hours to not be able to play. I'm not too bothered as I was doing other things in the meantime but I think this is a place where some improvement can be. Maybe setting up a time frame (like 5pm-9pm PST) and setting up a player schedule. I do not like how the caster is "picking the story line" by being able to pick the player he wants. Just my 2 cents to help improve this for next time as I think this is a good way to be able to showcase some not as popular players.

I apologize for you sticking around for a very long time and not getting a chance to play in this week's top 200 koth. I knew these kinds of things were going to happen given that so many people wanted to play, and unfortunately, I can't get to everyone unless I'm streaming for 24 hours. Next week I will definitely put something together where everyone will be given an equal opportunity to participate and have their games casted. Once again, this is the first week that I do this and I know that improvements are needed, they will happen, just please be patient!

Next week we continue with BabyNight (P) who is 1 win away from securing his 5 wins and $50.00 prize.

Thank you to everyone who watched tonight's stream and I invite you all to come back next week @ 5:00PM PST / 8:00PM EST to watch some more amazing HotS beta games.

Maybe I came off a little to dissapointed but like i said, i was doing things in the meantime + watching stream so it wasn't a total waste of time. I'm just saying that I'm pretty sure someone felt like that and just trying to give feedback to make it better for next weeks.

I think it would be cool to edit the results in the main post of each match to see who played

This is pretty much how the top 200koth has always been run

The casters select the player order so that they can maximize the entertainment level of the games. Not to mention they want to make sure that the current king plays a decent number of good known players in order to make sure that someone doesnt get 5 wins beating no-name noobs and walking away with an undeserved 50$

I imagine they should be more strict and stick with players they know for now because there are alot of bad players who are in GM who would not be able to hold their own against the more known players and it would just be one sided games that nobody wants to watch.

If anything the top 200koth is something done more for the viewer than it is the players.

Personally I feel appreciative that this is being run whether or not i get to play as atleast i have something entertaining to watch that has a fresh and new feel to it
