All by all, viewer counts are low and I (and probably others with me) am not enjoying this tournament as much as a tournament with this stacked a line-up deserves. Which is sad. Well I agree mostly, but the time being poor is not a valid point. It's west coast USA, no chance for good times for EU viewers. Hope today will be better. Mostly hoping for longer and better games, so that the downtimes won't be so noticeable.
I won't be watching, after that idiocy yesterday with random delays and just not communicating, and after being offline for OVER AN HOUR still go for some pregame "hypuuuu" instead of doing that whilst having technical delays....
That was a laughable display, really.
But ye, I hope the VODs will be good. Go Gumiho/Bomber!

Why are there 5 different paid casters of whom 3 are just lounging and watching the game all the time whilst Madals is solo casting and obsing other massive games?

wait did I miss something? At the end of the broadcast yesterday they said the top two matches would be streamed on the mainstream, I assume that would be snute/herO and jaedong/gumiho?

Does letting others know that you wont watch make you feel better about it?

Can we get the title changed? We are well past the playoffs.

At least that's the correct decision, herO deserves that mainstage match after they skipped his game yesterday.

It was changed from D3 to Playoffs, and well, they are the playoffs, right ?

I agree with herO vs Snute as well, because its a brilliant match. Last time I casted it, the bo3? or 5 was over 2 hours and amazing games. I believe GuMiHo/Jaedong isn't that amazing. I would have preferred forGG vs Rain

Yeah, you can always argue about that of course and I woldn't even mind to watch Jaedong on the b stream. For me it's just really important that herO is on the main stage, since he and CJ really got fucked yesterday.
Well anyway, this top8 is really sick and tonight should be a blast .
