We're going to be bringing matches like this to you a lot more regularly We're doing GuMiho vs Seed a couple hours before this soO vs Classic match. Who would you like to see us sign up for our next event?

May I also suggest 'older players' like Losira, Curious, Stats? (I don't doubt the bigger names are more often mentioned anyway :p)
We actually used all of the codes for blacksheepwall. The new code is OperationCWAL Thanks for helping!
I'll add those players to the list!

Maru has also been very elusive, even in online tourneys.
Another suggestion: Would it be possible to set up Skype video interviews with the players?
I'll definitely try to hunt those players down
We actually plan to do interview videos, released sometime in the week after the event. We did one with a match a couple of series ago, but we haven't reached the backer reward for it since. If we reach $150 in donations on either showmatch, the winner of that showmatch will give us an interview.
Seriously though. Classic vs SoO? Two good players in their own right with their own styles. But then adding the years of experience these guys being on the same team, living in the same house? Mind games upon mind games upon mind games. I feel sorry for my analyst that will have to come up with explanations of what's happening to inform the viewers

EZPZ - Classic likes to be unpredictable. soO's strength is small skirmish micro. So expect a lot of back and forth aggression with low economy units. It may get to the late game, that's definitely possible, but the field will be soaked in blood well before then.
I'll have to transition from "ohmygid, LiquidBunny in the GSL?? Oh wait, that guy" to something more appropriate.
I wish players wouldn't do this over my break though. Hard enough to keep track of these things when you're actively following the scene. Damn near impossible when you're off surfing with shitty hotel wi-fi instead.

And this is why a constant internet connection is important to us all xD
I finished watching this, it was very great, thank you guys for executing this out ^^ I'm a but sad that not all of my questions made it through, but they might have been too dank haha. Regardless, I really enjoyed this
