Originally it was going to be two leagues, one global with EU and NA pros playing on NA, the other solely dedicated to CN/TW pros, but budget, production and logistics issues prevented that to happen. Since Chinese players can't play on NA at a competitive level, it is hard to have EU players in this case.

Neeb winner, TIME runner up

He's been a top 3 Chinese player for about two years now and has attended pretty much every WCS event. He's done well for a while now but since the Chinese scene isn't well known and WCS events tend to hide Chinese players on the B-stream or just don't show the matches we rarely see them at big events or get to do interviews.

The links to TIME and Silky are the wrong persons.

Nice prize pool!

As a Chinese player, this is great for the SC2 scene here since most of our games are MOBA(LoL, Dota), fake MOBA(that 王者荣耀), and we've being trying our best.
And a shoutout to SCboys, who has being holding StarCraft here in China, casting games and supporting teams.
As usual 干死黄旭东！

Awesome game between iA and TIME just now

it's a flash player video, at the bottom right, you'll find a menu controlling the quality of the video, referring as “超清”(high qual) “高清”(medium) and “普清” (low).
PS: if your device got a separate graphic card, right click on the screen and you'll see the controller of flash player, it'll boost the quality.
|
I don't see this menu you're talking about. The bottom right has fullscreen and a rotate button but not quality control
It's okay though, I found the vod on youtube

Because SCboy is busy hosting Master's Coliseum, and they will host WCS Global Finals at the end of this month, so they do not have much time to host this tournament.

Regular season was finished behind the scenes, I just need to confirm a couple of results before updating LP. Still unsure about dates of playoffs due to players start travelling to WCS. Lesson learned I guess.

It's still a good tournament, I'm looking forward for the playoff

Playoffs kicks off today!!!!

The Chinese stream is so annoying with all those flying messages.
|
Wait where's the stream? No english cast?
|
So annoying. Why is there no english stream? They would have an audience most defiinitly...
|
i mean u can still watch the chinese stream, u can disable the flying messages and there are vods later on yt

Tenshi wasn't sure whether he could make it and it was on very short notice, basically it is a "get this over with" thing, I'll talk to people about a cast for tomorrows finals, sorry about that.
|
who won? special 3:0 , but hurricane 0:1 behind, whats actually the score?
|
Sorry I felt asleep during the matches, and I failed to update LP, my fault

I can cast if you need someone

Is there really no backup for an English stream each week? There is clearly interest for it. Wardi can step up right?
Without committing to a schedule, where am I supposed to feel the connection to this event or feel the need to turn up weekly? If it's being advertised that you run an English stream it should be organised. If it relies on 1 person alone it's a recipe for disaster... Clearly

Wardi saving the day??

Wardi is on it.
Also regarding the situation of the tournament: early rounds that are on schedule are all played out and streamed fine, but tournament schedule conflicts cause the later rounds to be way, way behind, with players leaving for Blizzcon, and foreign players leaving Korea back home, it leaves the organizers no other option other than doing everything very quickly behind the scenes. It is basically a combination of several events that put the league like this. Scboy tournaments are no stranger to long delays but this is the extreme and not the norm.

One of the issues is that many of the streams were simply not cast at all when the caster fell sick. We missed many weeks of matches because of that.
There should be a backup caster or alternative arrangements made when that happens.

Thank you for arranging this digmouse.
I appreciate that you listen to the community feedback

Congrats to my boy Juanito.
