it was too late, if he had some infestors with his attack on Crank's fourth it might have very well changed the game. Vortix was behind from his initial roach attack. Crank earned his win | ||

I thought the game against MaNa last time where he lost after giving away an almost unloseable lead had taught him a lesson but apparently not | ||

Crank would have added a lot of ground units that were not very good (few upgrades) and wasted a lot of supply on a 200/200 fight later on. But good games. GG. | ||

Also the team apologizes for scrappy play but apparently they had awful lag. | ||

I think you do get better games when the players are not tired. | ||

But I also don't think TB should have to stay up at 8am after working all night. So I Think Take.TV just has to get more EU casters on board. | ||

They already coordinate a teamleague played online and broadcasted live with teams from around the globe. That's enough coordination already. | ||

But it's what they have to do, if they want more viewers consistently and better sponsor exposure. I think Acer and Intel would not mind 10k people more watching. And to some extent, it's TakeTv's job to give their sponsor as much exposure as possible. So it's more about what they should do I guess. | ||

I just think it is already a great feat. As far as I know, this is the first team league that is able to broadcast online games live and that's really awesome. There is always room for improvement though  | ||

I cannot cast matches that are starting at 8am EST, that's just not reasonable, I work later into the night because it's quieter then. I hope next weeks matches will be at later times. Also the team apologizes for scrappy play but apparently they had awful lag. I certainly hope no one here blames YOU for not being able to cast this! I find it unfortunate that there was no alternate (in part because I've let Dennis know I could help out in cases just like today). Also Nathanias would wake up at just about any time for the chance to cast too. On April 14 2013 02:59 grs wrote: Yes, that is perfectly true. I just think it is already a great feat.

Unless you're getting someone like TB to cast you're not going to be adding 10k viewers :D | ||

So the balance is difficult but essential. If you want more views you've gotta make sure it's at a good time. | ||

More coordination leads to more chaos in this case: people coming late, dropping, etc. The event is awesome, there is no need for me to go with a "we need every viewer in any case to promote esports". Sure there is sponsors and financial interest involved, but if you compare Take's events to others, the more laid back while still professional approach seems to be more successful than the sometimes overthought ones from bigger organizations. I disagree a bit, obviously it's fine for us because we speak German and TaKeTV already stream every match since it's their own cup, but I can absolutely understand viewers from other countries who really want an English stream for every single match because that's just the way SC2 works right now. Having a replacement caster when the designated ones can't make it doesn't make the tournament less laid-back, it just makes it more convenient for everyone. | ||
