Interferes with the casting and the game imo I think they do that intentionally to give the impression that the stadium is packed. | ||

this tournament has great production value and all that but first off all i think they should have re-shuffled their cards and tried again instead of going with this R32 lineup. kinda sucks when all top tier protoss players have to play mirror matches against each others in the round of 32, ensuring that only half will make it to the second series, and that so many of my favourite foreigners had to face off against two or three time GSL champions in their first series. This is probably the first MLG where i was legitimately wishing for a losers bracket with extended series. having a single elimination tournament right after a new expansion is released and players arent too familiar with all the new units and builds dont make much sense, since good players are likely to lose and get knocked out early because of some odd build they havent seen before and didnt know how to react to. In a double elimination format you would be able to see these players adapt to that sort of jazz and have potential for some epic comebacks once a player finally figures out how to beat the build or unit composition that knocked him down in the first place. TLDR: this is the first major hots tournament after HOTS release. players havent figured out the new units yet and there are tons of "cheap" timings out there that some top tier players might simply not have seen before. cut the players some slack, make it double elemination so we dont have to see fan favourites and top tier players get knocked out because of some new cute timing push that someone just invented. it would be much more fun and educating to watch if they got a second chance to come up with some answer and make an epic comeback against the odds of extended series. Also, mirror matches between some of the best players in the world is the last thing i want to see when a new expansion is out and everybody wants to see how the matchups and meta-game has changed. | ||

It interrupted the game 4 times at some very important parts. We do have a feature to recover a game, just pause it and ask the players. Reboot the troubling PC, check the connections and start off from the same point. | ||

I think you might be onto something. right now im so hyped that i cant wait or rest until i A: recieve my CE copy and B: get to watch a nailbitingly close series between two Code S koreans that shows a glimpse of the amazing times ahead of us, and proof that this expansion may infact kill LoL and Dota 2  | ||

New fan right here Yeah, he really showed us the benefits of having a support-caster unit that works well with heavy upgraded lings and ultras and unlike infestors cant be sniped by marauders, the unit a terran will get to combat ultras anyways. had he just managed to spread his creep a little better (by not repedeatly pulling back his entire army and give up map his map prescense to fight of a single medivac drop because of 1a syndrome) and chose certain engagements better i feel like he could have won that game. | ||
