we are or most of all - I am sorry for the troublesome or simple long day 1. Would like to give a small apology/explanation. We used the new format with round robin and usually a bo3 takes ~40 minutes playing time avg. rather less. The issue was that I decided to go for the call to complete the round which results in it being 14x the longest bo3 + commercials etc.
Obviously we should have either started the 2nd group either offstream (earlier) and/or play it like we did group 2 and continue with another bo3 as soon as we have one. We will have the schedule fixed for today - approx. start the 2nd group potentially at least with round 1 or 2 offstream depending on how quick group 1 gos.
The technical difficulties with power/internet can happen - no ones fault at 100% but we learned from that as well. We are hoping you enjoy the 2nd day and we are very positive this will be a smooth day. So mostly apologies to my team as I made that schedule and obviously also the players who deserve to have good playing conditions and not a deciding match at 4AM. While HSC is known to be late due to many games we'd still rather finish at 1/2.

What? No. He just shouldn't lose anymore, maybe he can even afford another loss. Just check yesterday. He'd advance to the loser bracket, sure, but then he isn't out at least.

He probably needs to go 4-1 the rest of the way which is doable as he just needs to split with Elazer and Drogo. That his two losses were 2-1 is to his advantage due to map score being the tie breaker.
Tod looked so ridiculous with those nasty ass tattoos that they better cut power down. Srsly I havent seen him in a long time, does he have some personality issues or what? He looks like a bad joke now lol

Probably not real tattoos, remember he cannot play when it is too hot, no way he would endure getting a tattoo Looking good though you haters!

People with personality issues seem to come into money very easy to spend on such silly things as tattoos and hair dye.
haha, is europe super uptight about tattoos or something? almost everyone i know in my age group in canada has at least one tattoo. i personally have none and don't care for them, but i can't imagine why someone would be so upset by them

Welp, that's MMA's tournament. Watching him play really reminded me of Boxer in late 2011 - one of the greatest in their twilight, nothing left to prove but still fighting

With Drogo's loss to Hellraiser all MMA has to do is win his last two and he's in, right?

Oh wow - I didn't see that initially. The hope lives on!
With Drogo losing to Hellraiser, there is a chance a player at 3-4 can make it out of the group. If Drogo beats MMA then loses to Heromarine and MMA beats Hellraiser, both will end 3-4 and tied for 4th assuming Hellraiser doesn't beat soO to make it a 3 way tie.
This will reinforce by belief that the good mechanical terrans would have been almost unstoppable if they played toss. Especially the gods like Maru or maybe Inno. Not that I have any real evidence of course.

so is there any reason to not do this if youre toss? i mean not every game but throw it in once per series. I've heard Neeb is cannon rushing more these days too

Game 2 he went pool first and still lost.
Pretty sure he didn't but I could be wrong. Different cannon positions but Parting auto does this on his stream when they don't pool first. Though he doesn't as much now because he is 6.2k mmr on Korea and they can deny it.

Yeah, and when soO is losing 0-3 to Maru he tells his plan, which then results in a Blizzcon champion for soO.

ravager/blinding cloud is such a technical late game army and so hard to control... really really impressed with snute for beating innovation with that comp

i have to leave my house in about 15 minutes and then i have to go to work a couple hours after that... hopefully by the time i get to work fantasy vs snute will still be going on and i can catch the end of game 4
when i see a game like that it reminds me that at one point terran used to be able to pick up and move seiged tanks at will. imagine if they still had that

by 2020 i expect starcraft to devolve into nothing but a MOBA where the only units are immortals, warp prisms, tankivacs and ravagers. the only things to do in the game will be pickup micro and skillshot casting. forever diamonds who overmicro their units (like me) will finally qualify for GSL
Must be a weird feeling when you lose to uThermals offrace and a just returning Fantasy but beat the greatest player ever. Wonder what's going on in Snute's mind.

So... Gerald is actually the #1 player in the world and everyone is saying that Inno doesn't even stand a chance? And then Inno pulls off a miraculous victory and eliminates Gerald from the group stages?

I think it should be bo2 or bo4 to make round robin less tricky. It adds a draw possibility and different w/l ratio, and helps to easily navigate across standings, just IMO

No b stream. We also have a warcraft 3 bo3 showmatch
Oof, no B-stream is gonna be rough. Will the main stream cover every series in sequence, or will we have some skipping around? Otherwise I wish the players + staff luck for the looong stream.
Competitive integrity is well served by the double elimination bracket, but logistically I don't envy you guys. Maybe the lower bracket should be Bo3 instead of Bo5?

So as you can see, we can easily shorten the day if we would like to playing matches at the same time. Thats a rough mockup schedule.
Purple will be mainstream and yellow will be conference (joined by 2nd observer PC, note: not b-stream)
