What an awesome event! I had no idea warer.com was even a thing, but I now have it bookmarked. This beats the hell out of CNET's ad-laced installer.

I hope we see more of them. Looks like they just inadvertently became an MLG sponsor.

The overlap looked like a shitty situation at first, but if they can work something out with the times, and on top of that make these showmatches happen, this could be really fucking awesome!

moved back starting time for the first 3days to 1hour earlier so 5pmCET, that gives us 7hours to complete 10 bo3 before MLG's tournament starts, should work !!!

Going to be another great online tournament as usual, and I'm glad to see MLG and this tournament could even get a crossover. Will definitely be on the look out for this one.

We already discussed that scenario. You have to wrestle Geoff.

Absolutely brilliant. Please do it just for the laugh :D

EDIT: Awesome work finding a solution with the scheduling

Well it's nice for once a potential drama actually gets resolved instead of ending in a twitter slapfight that gets all over reddit like how it normally goes.

Shit, now I have to watch both tournaments. Thanks, Adam and ToD. I didn't need sleep that weekend anyway >:|

edit: ah good, that's pro bowl weekend too, no football conflict!

Because people would complain about "faceless no-namers" that will make it through the qualifiers.

Alright you know screw my negativity and angst earlier both sides want to make this work and if they actually did a crossover that would be brilliant. Will proudly be streaming both. :D

Wait, stop, hold the motherfucking presses. So some shit started, things were said on twitter, and the whole thing DIDN'T blow up into a huge shitstorm and a bunch of stupid drama? It actually turned into something pretty sweet that just about everyone was happy with? Who are you people and what have you done with the starcraft community?

Amazing work, Mr. Apicella. Very professional solution to what could have been a big problem.
Props to ToD as well. I'd love to see this kind of cooperation more often

There needs to be a Skype group, forum or something to prevent these ridiculous tournament overlaps.

completely agree. A skype group will just be messy and end up as a super crowded chat about random things in my experience.
When ToD refered to "the calendar" in his tweet, what calendar is this? It would be really nice to have an organised official calendar for SC2 events where one could "book spots" and advertise the tournament on there, thus avoiding overlaps etc. Other than the big leagues, international invitationals and small weekend tournaments seem to overlap a lot. It would be awesome to have SC2 regain popularity and this would help imho.

Also, the fanbase is only big enough for what it can support. I think it's better for the game to have 2 big tournaments with 10k viewers than 4 with 5k each.

Not meant to be dramatic. If you have watched my twitter this week you'll see that is the only way I can contact Catz. He does not look at skype until I harass him on twitter. This is a daily occurrence.

Back in my day we used this thing called a phone and nowdays there's a sequel to that called "smatphone" that can send SMS and such. They are quite awesome and honestly, things you post on twitter can easily be taken out of context and create a shitstorm out of nothing as you should be very well aware.
