Today the Starcraft 2 gods and Santa schemed to play musical chairs with us and introduced new players into Group A!
We had Solar, Vindicta, Cure and sOs play instead with Solar showing his class to emerge top of the group despite the disruptions.

Here is the VOD for anyone interested! sOs games were great as usual - http://vod.afreecatv.com/PLAYER/STATION/50306495

They were also occasionally calling the opponent 'her' and sometimes swapping the names of the players. But yeah it was rather distracting at the very least.

I know gendered pronouns can be problematic for certain ESL speakers, even in normal conversation.

And why exactly do you think the casters are ESL?

edit: This game between Astrea and Dream was pretty cool.
