Seriously this. Producers really need to look at how other leagues have used the new interface tools to minimise dead space. This is the worst I've seen in recent memory. Still excited though, its only early days.

We'll definitely change it soon. We were put in a weird place where we had developed a private GameHeart-esque mod which was going to be very simplistic in style, but when the teams requested we use replays (versus live games), we had to go back to the drawing boards in order to fit our sponsor and broadcast needs. We did look at some of the common observer UI options out there, but really didn't like them very much.

Expect a new one within 2-3 weeks.

Will any matches be live or will they all be from replays?

Due to WCS taking the best time slots for every region, SC2L is forced to broadcast at ungodly hours in some regions, which is why viewership will be low and games will be replays instead of some players playing at 5 AM local time or some shit like that...

Hmmm, I wonder why they chose those players for ROOT's picture on commercial screen. Why no CatZ or Minigun or Sage? ):

The thing that you definitely need to add next broadcast are colors for the name banners. I can't tell who is who.

Oh my god, that's good to know, puts things in perspective. I guess keeping up-to-date on these players is kinda useless for this tournament until the live finals then.

You can use a player twice in the first 6 matches. Mostly because Axiom doesn't have enough players.

5 week old replays. Is it that hard to get some more current games when tournament is begging people to buy a product to increase their prize pool? That's the least they can do no? This shit is unethical.

They are all five weeks old.

You can just tell when you see a Korean Terran go reaper expand, a map played on Day Break, Muta vs Muta without the spore change.

Really disappointed in Hero. His play seemed scattered and not focused. He is the ace of EGTL, I think he needs to step it up for these team leagues and not embarass TL.

He was jetlagged... The games were played the day he got back to Korea from WCS America Ro16... If you don't believe me watch the first three minutes of HerO vs. Kane, they have a discussion about it.

Well sorry but how on earth can a team be allowed to field the same player in a team vs team game....Root roster is much bigger than just 5 players....Catz himself can still play at a decent level ffs, so stupid.

I hate when things like this happens, it's like someone being able to take a penalty twice in a penalty shoot out in football or sub being subbed being subbed. It just doesn't happen because it is unfair and not how a "team" game works ;_; Especially when the team in question has a roster of 11....

And im not bitching because of the result, fair play to Root for beating TL thats a very good result, but an 11man roster had to field a guy twice :S vs TL who have a 7 man roster with 1 currently AWOL due to his wrist issues, so technically a 6man team who are all in Korea (or the majority) and still managed to field 6 different players ;_;

Indeed another point from Malin, not only was it a player playing twice, it was arguably ROOTs best player playing twice "/

Good series, I only watched the first 2 matches time zone sucks. Teamleague stuff is more interesting than the WCS NA, because it is really just becoming a korean league, at least this league lets me see some of my favorite players. Should I be surpised root beat liquid?

It's a shame so many people are basically not going to watch this tournament because of the old replay thing, when it is literally only going to happen this week :/.

I also don't understand all the hate on the revive rule. Two teams wouldn't be able to play without it, and it'd be unfair to other teams to only apply the rule to those two teams.

On July 11 2013 03:04 Pandemona wrote:


Ohh. Na'Vi and Axiom, so silly. They should of merged those two teams and invited another western team instead.

On July 11 2013 02:16 HereBeDragons wrote:


Fielding the same player twice is unfair in proleague format (disregarding ace match of course). Imagine if KT could field Flash twice every match? It lessens the variety for the matches because then every team would just field their best player twice every time, easier to arrange and more likely to collect points. Teams with rosters that are too small should've been forced to buddy up with another team to enter the league in the first place.

Assuming from now on, the play the games on a week-by-week basis, it should be good enough to keep down the complaints onwards.
