Keep in mind that TB helped organize the tournament; the casters either know about Puck's circumstances or they're just innocently incorrect. Why in the world would you assume they're being rude to their invited players? Mmm, no, what I mean is that what the teammates have to say about the choice of pronouns isn't important compared to Puck's choice. So while they should use the correct one I am not going to take their word on the pronouns over Puck's is what I am saying. I stated already that I wasn't aware of Puck's current ambivalence to gendered pronouns and that given the last information I had was that they were using she/her pronouns, hearing Husky and TB use he/him pronouns struck me as possibly rude. In the context of some of the transmisogynistic behavior that happened (and luckily at least on TL was rapidly shut down) when Scarlett (and also Puck) came out and general (trans)misogynist behavior in much of professional gaming it seemed like a pretty normal concern to have. | ||

On topic, i think this has been pretty good so far. Yes there have been issues but all of the issues are just stuff that happens. TBH TB and Husky are an awesome and amusing combo and the games have been mistake laden, but very very entertaining. | ||

It's got this many viewers due to good advertising, something most tournaments neglect. The games are abysmal and I had to turn the stream off because I was getting Thorzain vs Killer flashbacks. That last game was a great example of what happens when both players just keep going full foreigner whenever they get in a good position. It's sad and frustrating rather than entertaining User was warned for this post | ||

If you can adjust the time to be better for EU viewers it will always be better for your tournament I would say. The problem is WCS KR & WCS EU already take up the good EU timeslots. | ||

It's sad and frustrating rather than entertaining I decided Shoutcraft America deserved my eyeballs because I like several of the players, the production value is good (even though there are have been issues - this is the first broadcast after all), most of the games have been entertaining. It's also a tournament that supports the NA scene, which is a big plus. Sure, the casting is a bit casual for my taste, but those Husky and TB mesh pretty well. 30000 other people also agreed that Shoutcraft America deserved their eyeballs. | ||

It's sad and frustrating rather than entertaining I don't see why it's an issue. If you don't want to watch it, feel free to do what you're doing while the people who enjoy it can keep watching. It seems like you're trying to say that people watching are foolish for liking what they see. | ||
