Why would he be banned? These people are just whining and criticizing Major and Idra, they should really let it go. If somebody has to be banned is the guy that insulted Major with a well known english word because he forfeited.. Thats disrespect right there.
it's a joke. as in idra is about to say something that would result in his being banned.
With DeMuslim being gone, any chance of beating Scarlett is out the window IMO. Unless Hitman pulls some insane cheese that we've never seen before, which I find highly unlikely. I doubt this guy can cheese good enough to get by Ro8.
Not saying that DeMuslim would have beaten Scarlett - just that he probably had the best chance.

Well seeing it from that perspective you are probably right, one never knows how Idra will react.
Nonetheless I liked his casting and I do hope he gets invited for more tournaments in the future, he is really knowledgeable and I do enjoy his analysis.
Kinda disappointing for a first day ... I was expecting more out of the players (except for scarlett, her situation is understandable). Most of these guy have been outspoken defender of region lock and then treat shoutcraft like a third tier tournament.
Still, I think it's a awesome initiative by TB and Ting and I thank them both.
TB always getting burned by something in these tournaments. sets up a tournament for NA talent. NA talent proceeds to forfeit. NA wonders why they can't beat non NA players.
Agreed, I can't help but feel tonight was lackluster. 20k viewers isn't bad, but eh . . . the players seemed to show better games and more initiative on the ladder just getting to this tournament. The irony. . .

Yeah you do have a good point there. I followed the last ladder day qualifier and GOD was it exciting! Watching qxc, CatZ and the others duke it out was astonishing. These kind of tournaments give the Ladder that flavor that is sometimes lost (most of the time for whole seasons).

Kane looked pretty solid and Huk's aggressive style could cause her problems. She is obviously huge favourite to win but it isn't a forgone conclusion.

Interesting take, I think Kane / MaSa / HuK all have at least as good of a chance as Demuslim at beating Scarlett. Scarlett is obviously the player to beat, but I think Demuslim is actually one of the players who would be less likely to beat Scarlett compared to everyone else in the tournament besides Hitman
Not TB's fault or anything, just a really bad situation for him. Man, I was really looking forward to Shoutcraft America, and the first day is kinda lackluster. =/
