Let me just take the opportunity and say, Rifkin (BTV), whilst I might not enjoy your casting as much as I do other casters, and whilst your inside jokes might not be the best ever, you are sometimes out of the meta, your waiting simulator has the most immature 69 joke ever (lol :D), rambleramble, you are an extremely valuable asset to this community and I appreciate everything you do for it/us!

I appreciate the BaseTrade style of tournament names. It's more flavorful.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

I would just like to echo this, with the addendum that I actually do like you as a caster!
BTTV FTW!

Twas the fight before Christmas, when all through Team Liquid
Not a streamer was stirring, not even Winter
The events were posted on the sidebar with care
In hopes that BaseTradeTV soon would be there
The viewers were all nestled snug in their beds
While visions of Zerglings fighting Marines danced in their heads
I'm afraid of demented knife-wielding escaped lunatic libertarian zombie mutants
