take+naruto did a great job today This can't be true... why should they stop casting before the finals? oh, sorry then. i thought take just said that they cant cast the finals but would like to do so. I don't know what they said as I did not pay attention to the stream but just generally that does not make sense to me... of course I could be wrong and you are right but I stand by it that it would not make any sense.
They weren't allowed to cast the in the last EPS cup so I would be (positively) surprised, if they would. But maybe Mori gets them to cocast on skype

I see, maybe a sponsorship thing. Still it would be pretty retarded...

Mori has exclusive rights to cast the EPS. He picks a game from a round and we get to pick other games. As the final is just one game, we may not cast it. Thats how it works currently. Sorry bout that!

It is pretty stupid, yeah. But check the statement that ESLdaniel gave in this thread earlier on, should explain a lot

yeah, my mistake. Thought it was mainly about the format justpassingby asked about.

We are using single elimination in almost all our pro-competitions nowadays. It's closer to 'real' sports, which makes it easier to understand if you are not an esport-enthusiast in the first place and it makes every single game more important.
Also, while one could argue about playoffs or tournaments of higher importance, I feel like double elimination would be too much for a weekly cup that is played online and has only a couple hundred Euros prizemoney. But that's just my personal opinion. Well, I don't think it is right to count this as a weekly cup. Yes, it takes place every week, but only during a special season. You can't compare it to something like go4sc2 sunday, which I would say is a weekly cup. But either way, I wonder what the opinion of the players are. I mean if they are against playing double elim, then there is no reason to play it. Though if they want to play double elim, then there is no reason not to play it (as I doubt that the casters will mind).
Still, it's a company-wide decision more or less to go for single elimination in our tournaments. Players would prefer a league-system or tripple-elim brackets and Bo15 (at least), I guess Because it basically eliminates upsets and surprises, which favors better players, but that also removes a very interesting part of a tournament. Something like today (Socke, Hasu, Tarra, Hanfy eliminated quite early) would be less likely to happen in a double elimination grid. Which would be nice for them and their fans, but I think the EPS cups are fun to watch regularly especially because you don't always see the same players in the semis every week.
I understand your point here, but I think there is no right or wrong answer to this question. There are pros and cons for both and you have to make a decision at some point. And ESL thinks, single elim serves the best for everyone, somehow.

That is Tarra casting with Mori, right? Sounds like him.

Thanks, Mori is not giving his cocasters credit on the overlay as always.

He wants all the dirty esports dollars for himself :D But tbh, yeah he should implement that on his overlay.

He has always problems with last game of the qualifier 
two times one map away to be in wcs top32 and here one victory away.

I really hope that Revenge manages to edge himself into the playoffs in the remaining three qualifiers. Even though PvP became much better thanks to the Mothership Core and the Tempest, it would not hurt to see more Terrans during the live event.

that would be amazing! but if he has no games in the a-series it could be that theres no spot for him left in the cup.. so he might not be allowed to participate.
